XIII is the fourth studio album by nu metal group Mushroomhead, released on October 14, 2003. The album reached No. 40 on the Billboard 200 and sold 400,000 copies worldwide making it the band's most successful album to date. It is the second Mushroomhead album to be distributed through a major label, and it was also the debut release for then-new guitarists Bronson and Gravy, as well as turntablist/sampler Stitch.
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 #20 on Revolver's list of "20 Essential Nu-Metal Albums."[2]
