The third and breakthrough album was brought out on 20th February 2007 and blasted to number 19 on the billboard charts selling 34, 000 million copies in the first week and reached number 7 on the iTunes Top Album chart that year.
As an insert to the physical copy of the album, there was included a "cities pass" which was said to be "a gateway to over 20 different cities worldwide".
The album won jesusfreakhideout.com's most eagerly awaited album of the year and then won album of the year later on in 2007.

In my opinion this is their best album. The jump in maturity from the previous releases is immediately noticable. Stephen Christian himself described the previous albums as being about "man vs world" then "man vs man" and then, in cities, to the more mature conflict of "man vs self".

They released two singles on this album, 'Godspeed' and 'The Unwinding Cable Car'.
