Songs From Black Mountain marks a new chapter in their career and although Kowalczyk would like to attribute their success to having stayed true to themselves, they have no pretensions about where they stand in the industry as a popular band.

"It all boils down to trying to make important songs in a pop format so they can get played on the radio and people can find out about it. We're definitely a popular band and we try to record the singles so that we can be played on the radio and that's a fun, really exciting aspect of what we do. I think the artistry really comes into making sure it's not just your run of the mill stuff. I think I've done well as a lyricist to just give a lyric that people can sink their teeth into and I try to do that every time."

i think he pretty much hit the nail on the head, as sad as it is
