The band diverges even farther from the rap-rock from their past albums, omitting rap segments almost entirely in favor of a more mainstream rock sound or traditional heavy metal elements. The single Move received moderate mainstream success, reaching No. 16 on Billboard's mainstream rock charts in early 2006. The album has three singles: "Move", "Absolute" and "Breathe You In".
