The album has sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S. and is widely considered Static-X's heaviest album. It was also the last album with drummer [[Ken Jay]] and the only Static-X album to be recorded as a 3-piece, since guitarist [[Tripp Eisen]] did not join the group until after the album's recording. The song "[[Black and White (Static-X song)|Black and White]]" provided the album's first [[Single (music)|single]] and [[Music video|music video]], and a second single would be found in "[[This Is Not|This Is Not]]." The song "[[Cold (Static-X song)|Cold]]" also had a video made for it, and tied in with the film ''[[Queen of the Damned (film)|Queen of the Damned]]''. It was featured on that film's [[Queen of the Damned Soundtrack Album|soundtrack album]], as was the exclusive ''"Not Meant for Me"'', performed by [[Wayne Static]]. ==Track listing== '''All releases''': #"Bien Venidos" – 0:21 #"Get to the Gone" – 2:49 #"Permanence" – 4:01 #"[[Black and White (Static-X song)|Black and White]]" – 3:50 #"[[This Is Not]]" – 2:57 #"[[Otsego Undead]]" – 3:29 #"[[Cold (Static-X song)|Cold]]" – 3:40 #"Structural Defect" – 3:39 #"...In a Bag" – 4:21 #"Burn to Burn" – 4:17 #"Machine" – 3:27 #"A Dios Alma Perdida" – 5:58 '''Bonus Tracks''': #"Anything But This" - 4:03 (Japanese edition only) #"Sweat of the Bud" (Live) - 3:24 (Japanese edition only) == Chart Positions == === Album === {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width="550" !align="left" valign="top"|Year !align="left" valign="top"|Chart !align="left" valign="top"|Position |- |align="left" valign="top"|2001 |align="left" valign="top"|The [[Billboard 200]] |align="left" valign="top"|#11 |- |} === Singles === {| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width="550" !align="left" valign="top"|Year !align="left" valign="top"|Single !align="left" valign="top"|Chart !align="left" valign="top"|Position |- |align="left" valign="top"|2001 |align="left" valign="top"|"Black and White" |align="left" valign="top"|[[Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks|Mainstream Rock Tracks]] |align="left" valign="top"|#35 |- |align="left" valign="top"|2001 |align="left" valign="top"|"This Is Not" |align="left" valign="top"|Mainstream Rock Tracks |align="left" valign="top"|#36 |- |align="left" valign="top"|2002 |align="left" valign="top"|"Cold" |align="left" valign="top"|Mainstream Rock Tracks |align="left" valign="top"|#29 |- |} == Production == In the unreleased Static-X [[DVD]] ''[[Where the Hell Are We and What Day Is It... This Is Static-X]]'', it was commented that the songs for this album would have [[guitar solo]]s; however, this was not the case. The opening sample of the track "''A Dios Alma Perdida''," a synthetic arrangement with a filtered voice speaking in what sounds at times like [[English language|English]] (notably closing with an eerie "It's me!"), is from the 1978 film ''[[Laserblast]]''. This sample is an abbreviated version of a conversation between the aliens in that movie. == Personnel == *[[Static-X]] **[[Wayne Static]] - [[vocals]], [[guitars]], [[keyboards]], [[programming]] **[[Tony Campos]] - [[Bass guitar|bass]], [[background vocals]] **[[Ken Jay]] - [[drums]] **[[Tripp Eisen]] - [[guitars]] (it should be noted that Koichi Fukuda wrote the guitars, but Tripp performed them) **[[Koichi Fukuda]] - additional guitars, writing credit == References == {{Static-X}} [[Category:2001 albums]] [[Category:Static-X albums]] [[Category:Warner Bros.
