01. Livin' In Sin
02. Speak
03. The Enemy
04. Shine Down
05. Hollow
06. No Rest For The Wicked
07. Bleeding Me
08. Voodoo Too
09. Temptation
10. Mama
11. One Rainy Day

Best Buy and Target carry exlusive versions of the CD. Copies of the album purchased at Best Buy will include the bonus track "Safe And Sound". "IV" CDs purchased at Target will include the bonus track "I Thought".

Anything that's on Billboard is not metal and shouldn't be featured as news here. Shame on you deathbringer :)

godsmack is by no means "metal", but your comment is completely false about no band on the billboard charts being metal. They are not my favorite bands but Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, and Killswitch have all been on that chart......

I really like the drums on "Straight out of Line"....

I've never picked up a Godsmack album in my time but Shannon Larkin really turned my head in that song. It's simple playing made interesting and full of these speedy and intricate little fills...Best song this band has ever made and probably will ever make in my opinion.
