Exactly 5805 copies of 'The Silver Cord' were sold in the first week. 5805 is a significant number because it is a song title on the album and it is the address of the house where the band formed and began to break out.
In 2010, 'Vagabonds' was released.

The Classic Crime Lyrics
It's like I never had time to look away
Bodies stuck between death and decay
Are plastic and set up on display,
And their eyes are wide and they are looking my way.
Each ligament exposed each muscle connected
And every organ that I proudly neglected,
Have been arranged for the common collective,
Stomaching the sight of something dead resurrected
It seems we're fearfully made and designed,
But it's a shame we can so blind
[Chorus]
We're all the same,
Made of hair and bones and water blood cells
And we're all to blame,
For spending way too much time on ourselves
I have been blessed and now I'm blind, the veil's been pulled over my eyes
Now every bad season that kept me believing seems so contrived
Theres more glory to be seen savored through suffering
Than ever was through self serving escape.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
It seems we're fearfully made and designed,
But it's a shame we can so blind
[Chorus: x2]

I love bands that are from Seattle!!!! And this is one of the bands!
Brandalff
these guys are the greatest band ever
crtitical thinking
Sad that they couldn't come as far as other mainstream rock band of 2000s era. I may be the only one listening to this band from India..
Sameer
Oh no, you're wrong; count me as well.
Chives The Chauffeur
Hey look, it's the song that plays every frickin time my phone connects to bluetooth in the car!
Jōjia Momo
Criminally underrated band.

That awkward moment when your well-dressed cadaver starts to sing The Classic Crime.
