Reviews:

''Year of the Spider'' is the third studio album by American Post-Grunge band Cold. It was released on May 13, 2003 through Geffen Records. The album was Cold's most commercially successful, debuting at #3 on the Billboard album charts, with over 101,000 copies sold in its first week. Early pressings of ''Year of the Spider'' were shipped with a DVD and a temporary tattoo of the Cold spider logo. The DVD included the making of the (as well as the actual) video for "Stupid Girl," fan testimonials, and some home video shot during the recording of the album. This is also the last album with guitarists Terry Balsamo and Kelly Hayes.

A year prior to the album's release, the mellow ballad "Gone Away" was released on the ''WWE Tough Enough 2'' soundtrack. Its music video, which met with considerable airplay upon release, listed it as from the album ''Year of the Spider'' despite the long wait for its release. "Gone Away" was subsequently used as a hidden track; the song begins at 16:06 after 13 minutes and 13 seconds of silence (a reference to the superstitious nature of the band's previous effort ''13 Ways to Bleed on Stage'').

The album was frequently postponed from its projected release date. As early as April 2002, ''Year of the Spider'' was scheduled by Geffen for an October 2002 release. Frontman Scooter Ward also expected Elias Soriano of Nonpoint to contribute, but this did not come to fruition. - Wikipedia
