New touring members joined after the album was recorded: Sean Woolstenhulme (guitars), Billy Mohler (bass), and Nate Wood (drums). Band and Kamin returned in June 2004 with Two (also known as 'II'). New touring musicians were hired: Daniel Damico (guitars), Justin Derrico (gutars), Corey Britz (bass), and Justin Meyer (drums). Despite radio-friendly tracks and an enthusiastic fan response, the album failed to meet commercial expectations, leading to tension between the group and the label.
In June 2005, the band announced they were going on hiatus, and frontman Alex Band announced plans to publish a solo album. Alex finished recording his album, entitled We've All Been There, and released it in May 2010, with the first single "Tonight" released the preceeding February. Alex also pre-released the album through a bracelet line called Blackstar Bracelets, which can be purchased at a number of department stores in the U.S. as well as online.
The Calling reformed in 2013, with a new line-up still featuring Alex Band, and this incarnation of the band played its first gig on August 16 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The otherwise joyous event was marred by a kidnapping incident involving Band, with the musician beaten-up and then dumped after being mugged. Having recovered, the group is currently touring for its cult fanbase.

The Calling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the crazy things that you put me through
Now I'm coming around, throwing it back to you
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him?
Could you taste me when you licked his skin?
All the while I showered you with trust and promises
What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge
I gave you all I had to give, but I could never reach you
Oh, Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, used me up
Spent my money, drove my car, I treated you like a shining star
But in my sky all burnt out you are
And I'll have the last laugh, when I see you walking with some other guy
'Cause I know you're gonna end up all alone
So take these words, some good advice
All you've done gonna come back twice
You never cared how much it hurt, I really need to tell you
Oh, Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, used me up
You used me up
What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all that I had to give, and I could never reach you
Oh, Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, used me
Adrienne, long before, Adrienne
Oh Adrienne, Adrienne, oh yeah

I've been thinking about you, my love
I've been reflecting on our past relationship
And all the crazy things that you put me through
I remember all the things you did to me that caused turmoil in our relationship
Now I'm coming around, throwing it back to you
I'm seeking revenge for what you did to me
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him?
Did you think of our relationship while you were with someone else?
Could you taste me when you licked his skin?
Did you imagine being intimate with me while being with someone else?
All the while I showered you with trust and promises
I gave you my all, trust, and promises
What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge
I need to seek revenge for what you did to me
To get back all that I lost then
To regain everything I lost because of you
I gave you all I had to give, but I could never reach you
I tried my best but I couldn't make our relationship work
Oh, Adrienne, I thought I knew you
I believed I knew you well
Once again, you used me, used me
You took advantage of me again
Adrienne, I should have left you
I should have ended our relationship earlier
Long before you used me, used me up
Before you drained me emotionally
Spent my money, drove my car, I treated you like a shining star
I showered you with gifts and treated you well
But in my sky all burnt out you are
But you no longer light up my life
And I'll have the last laugh, when I see you walking with some other guy
I will feel satisfaction when I see you alone, after leaving me for someone else
'Cause I know you're gonna end up all alone
I believe that you will eventually be alone because of how you treated me
So take these words, some good advice
Here is some good advice for you
All you've done gonna come back twice
The way you treated me will come back to haunt you
You never cared how much it hurt, I really need to tell you
You never cared about my feelings, and I need to let you know
Adrienne, long before, Adrienne
I should have ended our relationship earlier, Adrienne
Oh Adrienne, Adrienne, oh yeah
Oh Adrienne, I regret our relationship

Eu sei que essa ferida está ardendo dentro de você, eu sei que é difícil aceitar tudo que aconteceu, e você fica buscando por respostas, tentando entender porque tudo chegou á esse ponto. Eu sei que você sente como se tivesse levado uma facada no peito e até o ar chega a faltar... E você sofre, se questiona, chora... Pensamentos vem e vão e bagunçam cada vez mais sua cabeça...
Eu quero que você olhe pra sua trajetória de vida, olhe quantas vezes você chorou, quantas vezes sua única opção foi superar com o tempo tantas coisas que te aconteceram.
Você tem uma força aí dentro gigantesca! (Você apenas não enxerga isso agora) Você tem o poder de ser feliz, e eu acredito nisso, sabe por que ? Porque você já passou por muita coisa e está de pé! E isso mostra que você nasceu pra vencer! A dor muitas vezes nos cega e não nos deixa ver o colorido que ainda existe.
Faça um exercício: Feche os seus olhos, se imagina com 5 anos de idade, olhe pra essa criança e diga pra ela: "Você nasceu pra ser feliz". Repita várias vezes até você sentir que você tem capacidade de se fazer feliz novamente, porque tudo depende apenas de você.
Você consegue! Nunca se esqueça disso! Essa dor é passageira e vai passar logo logo...
Você é maior que tudo isso!
