AB dropped ''One Day Remains'' in 2004. The album was largely recognized as a [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel|definite]] [[Growing the Beard|improvement]] over Creed and very well received. AB spent the next few years trying to make the [[Old Shame|Creed]] comparisons end. They finally did after they released their second album, ''Blackbird'', in 2007. |

* [[One-Hit Wonder]]: "Metalingus," from their first album, is the only song by the band to have had any major impact outside of rock radio stations.
