The album brought the band massive popularity from the outset, peaking at #51 on the ''Billboard'' 200 charts and eventually being certified double platinum in the United States. It spawned two singles, "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit It Out", which still rank among the band's most popular to this day.

The album is also well-known for the [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal trouble]] it got the band into due to the tracks "Frail Limb Nursery" and "Purity", as they (respectively) heavily sampled and referenced a story from the website ''Crime Scene''. The website presents fictional stories as real crime cases; there were originally no disclaimers designating the stories as fiction, leading many including lead vocalist Corey Taylor to believe that they were true. The ensuing allegations of copyright infringement resulted in the most common reissue and all official vinyl releases replacing both these tracks with "Me Inside". "Purity" was eventually restored on the 10th anniversary CD version and digital releases of the album in its original location ([[DemotedToExtra with “Me Inside” included as a bonus track instead]]), [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes whereas "Frail Limb Nursery" is only found on the original CD release.]]
