Outspoken is the second studio album from Minnesota-based band For All Those Sleeping, released through Fearless Records on June 19, 2012, nearly two years after their debut album Cross Your Fingers. The album showcases a much heavier metalcore sound with more prominent usage of unclean vocals and limited use of pop punk style choruses which were featured regularly on the aforementioned debut. Similarly to the first album, this album was also produced by Cameron Mizell.
On April 25, 2012, the band released the first single off the album, "Mark My Words", as a digital download on iTunes.[3]
The album debuted at number 95 on the billboard 200, selling over 4000 copies in its first week.[4]
