Demos for the next album were tracked with long-term friend and studio engineer Paul Miner, before the band worked with Thom Panunzio ( Tom Petty , Bruce Springsteen , Ozzy Osbourne ) having moved into a house together in Malibu, California called the Morning View Mansion to write and record. Gilbert took into the studio a book containing over 40 riff ideas that were written during the previous tour. Unlike their previous releases, Gilbert and Pundik also worked on lyrics alongside primary lyricist Steve Klein for the first time. The band had decided against working with Neal Avron, who had produced the band’s three previous albums, as they wanted to try something different. Their fifth album titled Coming Home was released on September 19, 2006, with first single, ” It’s Not Your Fault ” in July 2006. The release proved popular with many critics giving the album positive reviews. It was acclaimed for its “matured and nuanced songwriting”, and was generally recognised as being the band’s most mature work.
