[7] The album sold around 52,000 copies in the U.S. during the first week of release. [8] The album has sold 161,000 copies in the US as of June 2015.
The iTunes edition comes with two bonus tracks, the first is an exclusive track titled "Digital Sands" and the second is a live version of the song "Vigil" originally from the album As the Palaces Burn .
The Japanese edition also comes with an exclusive track, "Bury Me Under the Sun".
Resolution received mostly positive reviews. On Metacritic, the album attained an overall score of 72 out of 100, based on 18 reviews from professional critics. [9] Rick Florino of Artistdirect gave the album 5 out of 5 stars stating that it was "Lamb of God at their finest." [10] Carla Gillis of Now Magazine gave it three out of five stars and said, "Resolution is as aggressive as ever, no mean feat for a band seven albums in, and rife with memorable riffs ("Desolation," "The Undertow," "Barbarosa"). There are new proggier and acoustic bits ("Ghost Walking") on display." [11]
