Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.

Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2012, LV is Chickenfoot's third studio album, following the band's previous efforts which included their self-titled debut in 2009. At this point, they were solidifying their identity as a supergroup featuring members from Van Halen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Sammy Hagar's solo career. The band aimed to expand their sound while retaining the high-energy rock that defined their earlier work.
