Crossfade is the self-titled debut album by the South Carolina band Crossfade. It was released on April 13, 2004, five years after they were formed. An oddity about the album is that the minimal swearing on it is censored and no explicit version was released. The band says that the label did not have the money to put out both a clean and an explicit version, and they needed the money from sales from stores that do not sell explicit CDs, such as Walmart. The album was also released as a DualDisc CD that includes extra content not found on the original, standard edition. The album has now gone Platinum in the United States.
The singles from this album helped launch the band to mainstream success. "Cold" remains the band's biggest hit, reaching #2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and #3 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks, and is also their only single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, at #81. Follow-up singles "So Far Away" and "Colors" charted in the top 10 of the Mainstream Rock chart, at #4 and #6, respectively. They also hit the top 20 of the Modern Rock chart ("So Far Away" at #14, "Colors" at #18).
