Since its release, it has sold 1,200,000 copies in the United States and 1,500,000 worldwide. The album includes a track called “Paper Jesus” targeted at record company executives who idolize money instead of music and “Reply”, an open letter replying to fan mail that Aaron Lewis and the rest of the band have received over the years (the original version can be found on the Special Edition). It also showcases a heavier side to the band on selected tracks (reminiscent of some content on ‘Dysfunction’), and emphasizes a balance between both styles of the band’s sound. Lead singer Aaron Lewis has stated that he thinks “ ‘Chapter V’ is the best record the band has released to date”,and the album continues the evolution from the messages on ‘14 Shades of Grey’ to messages of hope and uncertainty.
It was released on August 9, 2005, debuted at number 1 with first week sales of 185,000 copies, and has spawned 1 big hit single along with three moderately successful singles on rock radio.
‘Chapter V’ is the fifth studio album by American rock band Staind.
