Godsmack’s juggernaut debut quickly established the Boston foursome as major players in the late nineties nu-metal scene, and remains a staple of turn-of-the-century heaviness. Armed with eerie and amped up melodies — and driven through the aggressive, emotions-soaked yowl of guitarist-vocalist Sully Erna — the album’s “Whatever,” “Keep Away,” “Voodoo” and “Bad Religion” all became Top 10 hits, and led to touring alongside Black Sabbath and more. The album has gone on to sell more than five million copies in the U.S. alone.
