On April 7, 2004, the band returned to the studio to begin recording the follow-up to "Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild". Band members periodically offered updates on the album, with Miller labelling it a "masterpiece" and "the best rock record of 2005", and Ginsburg calling it "an instant classic". Zaborowski was fired from the band in June 2004, with Ginsburg once again filling in on bass for a number of live shows. "Familiar Realm" was released as the lead single from the new album in May 2005, reaching number 32 on the Mainstream Rock chart. "An Answer Can Be Found" followed in June, reaching number 35 on the "Billboard" 200. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the album sold 27,786 copies in the United States in its first week of release.
