By the Numbers
Phobia is the band's commercial peak, debuting at No. 2 and going Platinum, and the authorship stays in-house: Benjamin Burnley writes all the tracks with bandmates Aaron Fink and Mark Klepaski adding to the music on several. "The Diary of Jane" became the band's signature song and its biggest crossover, reaching the Billboard Hot 100. There are no outside writers, so Phobia is a fully self-authored band record.
