The Truth entered the Billboard charts at number 48 (with 17,000 copies sold in its first week) making it the highest-charting release by the band to date.

[citation needed] Although it received mostly mixed reviews, Billboard magazine called The Truth "one of the four most important hard rock albums of 2006".

We did not approve the title, cover artwork (whatever it is), track listing or bonus features for this transparent and obvious cash-grab of a re-release from a record label that despite selling a quarter of a million of our albums worldwide is having problems."

Over a year ago we suggested the idea of a re-release of the album to Trustkill – on our terms, of course, with our artistic vision – and he said he'd consider it if we could land a 'big' tour.

Now we have a new album finished that we are very proud of and he wants to squeeze our fans and our band by throwing out an unapproved 'special' edition in a fast and overt attempt to pay some bills."
