On 18 July 2007, the band announced the title and release date of their new album, Tillbaka till samtiden (Swedish for “Back to the Present”). Its official release was on 17 October 2007 but many stores began selling it five days in advance due to an internet leak of the album. The first single of the album was released on 17 September 2007 with the title ” Ingenting ” (Swedish for “Nothing”). The band played four songs at a private gig in Denmark where their new album premiered. The sound of the album has been described as more electro based rock. Due to the speed in which the tour’s concerts were sold out, the band added seven extra concerts to their Scandinavian tour. Between November 2007 and March 2008, the band did 48 shows in total. Lead singer Joakim Berg has remarked that Tillbaka till samtiden contains some of his favourite material he has recorded. They were presented with Best Album and Best Group at the 2008 Swedish Grammy Awards . They went on to win a Rockbjörnen Award for Best Swedish Album and a P3 Guld Award for Best Group.
