Lions
is the sixth
studio album by
American rock band
It was released in 2001
as their
first album on
V2 Records
following their
departure from
Columbia,
and is their only
studio album
to feature guitarist
Audley Freed.
Lions
was recorded in
New York City
in January
and February
of that year,
and was produced by
Don Was.
Bass guitar duties
were shared by
Rich Robinson
and Was,
as Greg Rzab
had left the band
and was not replaced
until the tour
that followed
the release of the album.
The album debuted on
the Billboard 200
at its peak position of 20,
selling more than
53,000 copies
in its first week.
Lions
received mixed reviews;
although the overall
sound of the album
generally garnered praise,
a frequent complaint was
the lack of
"memorable"
songs.
The critics who rated
Lions
lowest considered it a
poor imitation
of the band's influences,
such as
Led Zeppelin.
The band supported
Lions with
two North American tours
(one with Oasis co-headlining),
and a short tour of
Europe and Japan
in between.
Soundboard recordings
of several concerts
were available
for download
to those who owned
the album.
Following the tour,
the band went on
hiatus until 2005
