===''Shapeshifter'' (1999–2000)===
Marcy Playground's next outing was 1999's ''[[Shapeshifter (Marcy Playground album)|Shapeshifter]]''. Shapeshifter was released on November 2, 1999.<ref>[[Shapeshifter (Marcy Playground album)]]</ref>

A minor controversy came to light when [[Paul Leary]] of the [[Butthole Surfers]] revealed on Marcy Playground's website forum that the cover art (a painting by [[Mark Ryden]]) had originally been conceptualized and commissioned by Leary for his band's aborted ''After the Astronaut'' album. He admitted to being a fan of Marcy Playground and Leary's outrage was eased once he learned that [[Capitol Records]], former home of the Butthole Surfers and then-current home of Marcy Playground, had pitched the artwork to Wozniak as original work from its own art department and that Marcy Playground had no knowledge of the work's origins. Upon learning the truth, Wozniak proclaimed that he was "honored" to have an album cover designed by Paul Leary.<ref>{{cite web|last=Basham |first=David |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1426809/19991104/butthole_surfers.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030514202723/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1426809/19991104/butthole_surfers.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 14, 2003 |title=News - Articles - 1426809 - 19991104 |publisher=Mtv.com |date=November 4, 1999 |access-date=July 15, 2011}}</ref> 

"[[It's Saturday]]", the album's lead single, managed to hit No.&nbsp;23 on the Modern Rock Charts, and followed by a second single, "Bye Bye".

After ''Shapeshifter,'' drummer Dan Rieser left the band to pursue other interests. The position was eventually filled on his recommendation by Gonzalo "Gonz" Martinez de la Cotera, a friend whose previous band [[Lincoln (band)|Lincoln]] had opened for Marcy Playground.
