Data Insight
Hale is again the only member writing, on all twelve tracks, but the outside cast narrows to two names that matter: Dave Bassett on seven and Scott Stevens on four. Stevens co-wrote "Love Bites (So Do I)", the song that won the Grammy, and he keeps coming back for the next decade.
The second album came out in April 2012, debuting at number 15 on the Billboard 200 with 24,000 copies. It has sold 1,000,000 in the US as of June 2022 and produced the band's Grammy winner.
