The Flood is the second studio album by American rock band Of Mice & Men.
The album debuted at number 28 on the Billboard 200, selling over 13,000 copies in its first week, making it one of Rise Records' best-selling releases at the time.
It marks a considerably heavier, technical musical approach from the band, and a stronger use of clean vocals from Bourget, having him lead three songs on the album ("My Understandings", "Purified" and "When You Can't Sleep at Night").
The re-release has four new songs, all written and performed without Bourget, new artwork, and the acoustic bonus track "When You Can't Sleep at Night".
"[8] James Shotwell of underthegunreview.net awarded the album an 8.5/10,[12] saying, "While it has its moments of doubt, there is no denying the amount of hard work, passion, and emotion poured into every second of this record."
