Henwood left in mid-2001 and eventually formed The Androids (he later joined Rogue Traders ). McLeod considered disbanding the Superjesus but took up lead guitar while working for their third album as a trio, Rock Music (May 2003), with Marc Waterman producing, which reached No. 14. Patch Brown had replaced Henwood, but due to stylistic differences during recording, he was replaced in turn by Jason Slack, a Slippery Rock Graduate. Tim Cashmere of Undercover felt that “they are just as powerful as before” with McLeod “singing better than ever over her chunkier-than-ever riffs.” MediaSearch’s Carmine Pascuzzi cautioned that “Those who have been ready to write them off should rethink as Sarah McLeod sings beautifully and the band work in harness efficiently to produce a strong effort. The riffs and tenacity are very much on show… They still have a knack for really rocking out, yet indulging in some slower ballads.”
