About This Album
Brad Arnold and Matt Roberts penned nearly every song on Away from the Sun, capturing a raw emotional core that defined the band's second chapter. Released on November 12, 2002, this studio effort arrived just as the group was looking to prove they were more than a fleeting trend. Producer Bob Marlette brought his signature gritty sound from Alice in Chains sessions to help shape the record into a polished yet heavy listening experience.
The album quickly climbed the charts, reaching number two on the US Billboard 200 and eventually earning quadruple platinum certification by August 2006. Three singles drove its success, with "When I'm Gone" hitting number four on the Hot 100 and "Here Without You" securing the fifth spot. Fans still treat these tracks as anthems for long-distance relationships and personal resilience.
