 It was released in April, 1997 and marked a return to the harder sound created on the "Brightside" album, but also a more melodic and intricate element with the addition of short guitar solos.In spite of the success of "The Method" and the re-emergence of second-wave New York hardcore bands into the third wave of late 1990s hardcore – even first wave veterans, Agnostic Front, were tempted back to the studio – the band played its last show in Newburgh, New York in 1997 and finally brought the band to a rest in 1998.In May 2005, the band played two reunion dates at Northsix in Brooklyn, New York, on a bill that included The Slumlords, which included the ex-singer of Breakdown.
