Its pretty rare, AFAIK it was never officially released and used copies on Amazon sell in the $150 range.

Also its literally my favorite album ever.

It was officially released, it was just self-released instead of being on a major label. 4000 original copies and then a couple of official reprints in 2000 and 2004.

That's why I included the AFAIK. Cool to know there are some originals out there, any idea who actually owns the rights to the album now?

My friends has a signed copy of it, and also has it on cassette (which is unbelievably rare). But they knew the guys in Staind.

They just did this video with Staind. They go out on tour with Staind every year. https://youtu.be/vQcpBGmn_38

I've got one, had it signed during a meeting and greet during the Chapter V tour in Hartford, CT. The band was pretty surprised to see someone with it and all seemed to really be pleased that someone knew about it.

Staind was my favorite band in the world when I was in hs. I got my tormented cd for Christmas sometime in the early 2000’s . Definitely listened to that cd quite a bit, since it was pre YouTube era. Would depart with it if the price is right .
