Then...well, it's a bit [[IncrediblyLamePun hard to explain]] what happened from there. Their next two albums, ''Room On Fire'' (2003) and especially ''First Impressions Of Earth'' (2006), are not as highly regarded as the first. Many fans theorized that ExecutiveMeddling was involved, but the truth likely lies in the fact that [[ToughActToFollow they set the bar so high with the first album]].

The band went on hiatus after the disappointing reception of ''First Impressions Of Earth'', just to come back in 2011 with a new album titled ''Angles''. The album has gotten very mixed reviews from critics, showing a step up from ''First Impressions Of Earth'' but still not a return to form for them. The band released their fifth album ''Comedown Machine'' in March 2013, to a predictably mixed reception, and released their sixth album titled ''The New Abnormal'' in April 2020.
