Leeland's second studio album, "Opposite Way", was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. In November 2007, the band announced that the album would release on February 26, 2008. Lead singer Leeland Mooring commented, "["Opposite Way"] is primarily a call to our generation to passionately walk the 'opposite way' from the world, that it's OK to live the Christian life and to be on fire for God, even if it makes us look different." In its debut week of release, "Opposite Way" peaked at No. 72 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, and also reached No. 1 on the iTunes Christian Albums chart. Starting in September 2007, Leeland began touring with Grammy Award-winning band Casting Crowns on their "The Altar and the Door" tour. The tour continued until May 1, 2008, and was named the "highest-grossing Christian tour of the year" touring through 83 cities.
