On May 25, 2004, Collide was released by Ardent Records and Lava Records. The album was nominated for "Best Rock Gospel Album" in 2005. Collide was yet another musical shift for the band.Citing P.O.D. as inspiration for the musical shift on Collide, Cooper said, "Well I'm one of these song writers, everything I hear goes through my John Cooper filter of what I like and what I don't like. [...] All these things [...] have been an influence on me."
