History

During the writing of IV by Godsmack, lead singer Sully Erna encountered writer's block; so guitarist Tony Rombola, drummer Shannon Larkin, and bassist Robbie Merrill went to the studio and recorded music. After writing almost 40 songs, only 14 were used. The left-over songs were then recycled by the members after they recruited Whitfield Crane of Ugly Kid Joe as well as Lee Richards, Godsmack's first guitarist, and Another Animal was born.[2]

Sound

The music of the album sounds similar to IV, but the vocals are distinct. The album features strong bass-lines and hard-hitting drums; it is predominantly heavier than IV, but includes a few softer songs, including "Fade Away" and "Interlude", which features acoustic guitars and a country sound.

gollark: Why not cut out the middleman and directly crowdsource the book?
gollark: I read 1 and 2, and don't really like them either to be honest. The writing is kind of clunky, and it does a lot of "oh look, a problem appeared! The protagonist just solves it with [weird interaction of various items, used once then forgotten about]".
gollark: They should obviously specify distance in metres to 10 significant figures.
gollark: Hypothetical ones, mind you.
gollark: I mean, I vaguely remember it meaning "faster than light particles", but I don't see how that's relevant.
