Music
Floored fuses metal, funk, reggae, punk rock and rap. Due to the massive amounts of strong language in the songs "Cash" and "American Pig", some copies contain the "Parental Advisory" label. It contains the early label that can be peeled off the case. It is their last album to do so and their last heavy album before they moved toward a more pop friendly approach.
Commercial performance
Floored went to number 12 on the Billboard 200 on August 30, 1997. Floored's song "Fly" was extremely popular; it went to number 1 on the Radio Songs chart, number 1 on the Pop Songs chart, and number 1 on the Alternative Songs chart. "Fly" was on the Radio Songs chart for 59 weeks. In September 1997, 510,000 copies of Floored were sold. In December 1997, 1,200,000 copies of Floored were sold. In February 1998, Floored was certified 2x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling 2,000,000 copies in the United States.
