"A Different Kind of Pain" is the fourth album by Cold. It was released on August 30, 2005 in the US and September 12, 2005 in the UK. The working title for the album was "The Calm That Killed the Storm" (a repeated sentence in and often mistaken title [ [http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=%22calm+that+killed+the+storm%22+lyrics Google results for "Calm that killed the storm" lyrics] ] of "Anatomy of a Tidal Wave"). This title was changed to broaden the interpretation of the album's songs.Lawrence, David. [http://netmusiccountdown.com/inc/artist.php?artist=Cold Cold] Net Music Countdown (2005).]

Inspiration and writing process

Prior to writing the album, Cold was in the process of seeking a new record label and vocalist, as Scooter Ward had been battling personal demons. Upon the group's return to Jacksonville, Ward briefly checked himself into rehab before finding that his sister, Jen, was diagnosed with cancer.

The album name and much of its lyrics were inspired by Jen's battle with cancer. In fact, the band wrote much of the material in Ward's parent's house, particularly in Jen's room. Ward described the making of the album as "a healing process," and fortunately, as the band was finishing up, his sister had gone into remission.Lawrence, David.

Reception

"A Different Kind of Pain" received mixed reviews, with critics largely bothered by the album's emotional emphasis and claiming that the band has strayed too far from its heavy roots. Johnny Loftus of Allmusic summed it up with "Different Kind of Pain" might work as therapy, but it falters musically." The album's lead single did not achieve the considerable success of the groups' previous hit, "Stupid Girl," or receive the same attention as other previous singles.
