Faceless by Godsmack
Faceless is an album by Godsmack, released in 2003. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 56 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “I Stand Alone”, on 25 lists and voted number one once.
Faceless, Godsmack's fourth album, hit the shelves on April 8, 2003, and it's the Lawrence, Massachusetts, band reloading with a new man behind the kit: Shannon Larkin, making his first appearance on a Godsmack record. Sully Erna, who sings and plays guitar, co-produced it with David Bottrill at Criteria Studios, and the sound is all clenched jaw and heavy tread, Tony Rombola's guitar and Robbie Merrill's bass locking into grooves built to shake arenas.
"I Stand Alone" and "Straight Out of Line" did the heavy lifting, and both drew Grammy nominations, for Best Rock Song and Best Hard Rock Performance respectively, while "Serenity" and "Realign" gave the record a moodier, slower-burning side. It also went to number one on the Billboard 200, the first of three Godsmack albums in a row to get there.
