Bad Dreams was Swollen Members second full-length release on Battleaxe Records, released in 2001. Bad Dreams was a progression of the sound the group expressed on Balance leaning more towards the mainstream. "Take It Back" was the album's first single though the record didn't take off until the second single, "Fuel Injected" was released. "Fuel Injected" turned the underground rap group into household names overnight. The follow-up single "Bring It Home" was equally successful peaking at #3 on the Canadian Singles Chart, helping the record attain Platinum certification in Canada. The presence of Moka Only on the groups two biggest singles prompted him to join the group from 2002 to 2005. The 19th and 20th tracks are bonus tracks that appear on the 2002 reissue only. The reissue also sports an alternate cover similar to the original release. The original album also contains a hidden remix of "Take It Back" produced by Joey Chavez that appears after the end of "High Road". The song "Deep End" was featured on the video games Triple Play 2002, NBA Live 2002 and SSX 3 (the Utah Saints remix). Kludge magazine listed it as one of the 25 best albums of 2001.
