"They're in a strange place," says Chris Willman, a senior writer at Entertainment Weekly who has profiled the band for the magazine. "They're the biggest group in country but they aren't heard on country radio."

Of course, the reason for the divide has very little to do with their new musical direction (more California rock than country twang) and everything to do with the bitterness and anger that remain from the fallout over what has become known simply as "the comment."
