A year after the release of the album, a reformatted version of "The Freshmen" peaked at #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The single was also the band's sole appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #5. The success of the song helped this album go platinum. This is The Verve Pipe's greatest-selling album to date.

The Verve Pipe is the self-titled album by Michigan rock band the Verve Pipe, released on July 27, 1999. The band's second release for RCA Records, the album followed the platinum-selling Villains and its mammoth single, "The Freshmen". The band worked with Soundgarden producer Michael Beinhorn and created a generally dark, sonically textured grunge-pop album. The lead single "Hero" received sporadic airplay on alternative rock radio and its video was in rotation on MTV2 in late summer 1999.

Throughout the album, primary songwriter and singer Brian Vander Ark comments on the fleeting nature of fame with tracks such as "Supergig" and "Headlines". The song "The F-Word" serves as a bittersweet response to the band's success with "The Freshmen".
The album's cover features a diagram for frog dissection, with the song titles used as references to various body parts.
Radio and touring
The Verve Pipe mounted a major nationwide tour in support of The Verve Pipe and lead single "Hero", headlining mid-size venues and playing numerous radio festivals throughout 1999 and into 2000. With the Nu metal stylings of Limp Bizkit and Korn dominating rock radio airwaves, "Hero" failed to connect with a mass audience. The band responded by releasing the album's sonically heaviest track, "Television", as a follow-up single. With no music video and little radio support, "Television" sputtered out quickly, along with record sales.

Produced by Fountains of Wayne and Ivy band member Adam Schlesinger, the album's power-pop sound was a departure from the darker, textured sonics of The Verve Pipe and Villains. "Never Let You Down", the album's lead single, was one of the Top 50 Most Played songs for Adult Top 40 and Modern A/C radio in 2001.

The track "Colorful" was used in the WWE tribute video of Shawn Michaels's retirement speech and was also featured in the movie Rock Star.

Title significance

The title of the album comes from a line in the song "By the Way". The title refers to the "scars and souvenirs," or the ups and downs of one's lifetime, as a large majority of the songs on the album deal with things like relationships and obstacles that one might encounter during his or her life.

Singles
The first single from it, "So Happy" was released to radio on February 11 and can be listened to on their MySpace page while "By the Way" and "Bad Girlfriend" were released on the band's official website on March 10, 2008. 

"All or Nothing" was released on June 2 as a single for adult and Hot AC radio. Robin Diaz (Closure; Trapt), Chris Daughtry(Daughtry), and Brent Smith (Shinedown) are guest stars on the album. 

The band confirmed on May 14, 2008 that the next single to be released in the US and Canada was "Bad Girlfriend", on rock stations only. As of September 6, 2008, "Bad Girlfriend" is Theory of a Deadman's first single to reach number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Chart.

Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine writer of Allmusic gave a very negative review to the album with one star out of five and wrote: "Four albums and ten years later, Theory of a Deadman are still content to be Nickelback’s baby brothers, eagerly following within the footsteps of their bigger, tougher siblings." and called the album: "castrated rock with a rotten heart."

In the US, the album debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart selling 38,000 copies. In Canada, the album debuted at #2 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 8,500 copies. This is up from their previous album Scars and Souvenirs,which sold 6,000 copies in its first week.
