XIII includes the single "Sun Doesn't Rise". Its music video was directed by Vincent Marcone. The video aired frequently on Headbangers Ball upon release. The track "Sun Doesn't Rise" was also featured on the Freddy vs. Jason soundtrack.

Reception

The album received positive reviews, with critics stating that it was a much more improved version of XX. It could be seen as the first major release of Mushroomhead to review, as XX was only a compilation album featuring songs from their past 3 self-released albums. Some critics complimented on Mushroomhead's extensive use of piano solos and various other instruments.^{[citation needed]}

In 2018, the album was ranked at No. 20 on Revolver's list of "20 Essential Nu-Metal Albums".[3]

Track listing

All songs written by Mushroomhead, except for "Crazy" written by Seal and Guy Sigsworth.

Bonus tracks

British copies of the album include the song "Treason" and the instrumental "Loop #6". Enhanced copies were said to have "Along the Way" and "Simpleton" as bonus tracks available for download through a CD identification process from a secret page on Universalmotown.com.[4] Since Mushroomhead left Universal, the page has been removed.
