Data Insight

All twelve tracks carry Bell on the words and Herrera and Olde Wolbers on the music, and Cazares appears nowhere. It is the first of two records the band made without their guitarist, and the credits show exactly how the work was redistributed.

Archetype came out on Liquid 8 in April 2004, the first album after the split, with Christian Olde Wolbers moving from bass to guitar in place of Dino Cazares. It has sold 96,509 in the United States.
