Issues arrived a year after Follow the Leader and sounds barer: fewer guests, fewer hip-hop leaning tracks, more weight on the band itself. Falling Away from Me premiered as the first single in an episode of South Park, followed by Make Me Bad and Somebody Someone. Short interludes break the album up, and Jonathan Davis keeps the lyrics close to himself. The fourth studio album originally came out in November 1999 through Immortal and Epic Records and entered the Billboard 200 at number one, with more than half a million copies sold in the first week. This edition is a 2-LP.
