Popularized by the second single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", the album was certified triple platinum in the US.

(2008), was preceded by the single "Nine in the Afternoon". That album marked a significant departure from the sound of the band's debut.

The group's provocative subject matter, musical experiments, and often nihilistic attitudes also proved influential in the development of punk rock and new wave music.
