Data Insight
All fourteen tracks are the band's, with Flynn on every one and Luster on ten. It is the second nu metal record and the one that nearly ended them: a fifth of the sales of the album before it, and the guitarist left the following year.
Supercharger came out on Roadrunner in October 2001 and has sold 50,000 in the United States, the worst-selling album of their career. Its release week coincided with the September 11 attacks and the "Crashing Around You" video was pulled.
