Reception

The Truth entered the Billboard Chart at No. 48 making it the highest charting release by the band to date. It has gone on to sell more than 250,000 copies since its release.
Although it received mostly mixed reviews, Billboard magazine called The Truth "one of the four most important hard rock albums of 2006."

The Complete Truth

A special edition entitled "The Complete Truth" was released on July 15 of 2008. The band penned a guest blog on the Headbanger's Blog and commented on the release:
"It has been months and we have kept silent. But this latest slap in the face from our supposed record label has pushed us over the edge. We just read on the Internet that Josh Grabelle plans to release a 'special edition' of our 2006 album The Truth one month before releasing our new album. Let it be known that Bleeding Through is 100% against this so-called 'special' edition. We did not approve the title, cover artwork, track listing or bonus features for this transparent and obvious cash-grab of a re-release from a record label that despite selling a quarter of a million of our albums worldwide is having problems."
Over a year ago we suggested the idea of a re-release of the album to Trustkill - on our terms, of course, with our artistic vision - and he said he'd consider it if we could land a 'big' tour. We confirmed a tour with Marilyn Manson and Slayer, followed by a tour with HIM, and he said 'NO' to us. He thought we should put out a new album instead. Now we have a new album finished that we are very proud of and he wants to squeeze our fans and our band by throwing out an unapproved 'special' edition in a fast and overt attempt to pay some bills."
