In November 2001, Epic re-released the band's debut album which received reviews in [[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]] (3.5 out of 5 stars) along with moderate to well received reviews in other music publications. The album was re-worked with the help of veteran producer [[Rick Beato]] and was remixed by [[Tom Lord-Alge]].

In an interview with Rock Eyez a local New Jersey music blog, Brandin Lea stated that being in New York on 9/11 was "horrific" and that would be the one thing he would change from the band's career.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rockeyez.com/interviews/int-flickerstick-brandinlea.html |title=Brandin Lea (Flickerstick) Interview |publisher=Rockeyez.com |date=2007-04-14 |access-date=2015-06-20}}</ref> In other interviews, members of the band have cited the change in the record industry and economy in general (resulting in Epic's lackluster promotion of the album) after the 9/11 terrorist attacks as reasons for their departure with Epic.{{Citation needed|date=August 2012}} A year later their Epic contract was canceled out for an undisclosed amount, and the band bought ownership of the album from the label.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fwweekly.com/2015/03/25/brandin-lea-is-back/3/|title = Brandin Lea is Back|date = 25 March 2015}}</ref> They then signed with [[What Are Records]] and released a [[live album]] titled ''Causing a Catastrophe'' that same year.
