Godsmack's most-recent full-length studio set is last year's "Faceless." Earlier this year, the band released "The Other Side," an acoustic EP that features unplugged versions of previously released material, as well as three new cuts.

New in stores this month is Godsmack's "Changes," a DVD filmed during the band's 2003-2004 tour. In addition to live performances, the disc features behind-the-scenes footage and band-member interviews.
