Data Insight

Eleven tracks, all of them Bell with Olde Wolbers and Herrera, and no Cazares. It sold a fifth of what Archetype did and the band broke up after it, then reformed in 2009 with the guitarist back and the drummer and bassist gone.

Transgression came out on Calvin in August 2005 and has sold 19,000 in the United States, the worst-selling album of their career. The band split again the following year.
