Two years later they released Love Songs EP. The following year Greatest Hits came out. They signed to DreamWorks SKG in 2000. They released Anthology that same year. In 2001 the band released a their now well known cover of the song “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson. In 2003 the band released Truant. Corso left the band and was replaced by Joe Hill.

Due to complications with their label their next record, now referred to 3rd Draft, was never released, but some bootleg copies eventually surfaced.
