Phantoms by Acceptance
Phantoms is an album by Acceptance, released in 2005. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Different”, on 3 lists with a best position of #37.
Phantoms, the debut album from Seattle's Acceptance, came out on Columbia on April 26, 2005, after years of groundwork on the EPs Lost for Words and Black Lines to Battlefields. Aaron Sprinkle produced, and he gives the band's pop punk a big, glossy pop-rock finish, all chiming guitars and choruses aimed at the rafters, with Christian McAlhaney on guitar and vocals and Nick Radovanovic on drums. "Different" is the pick, surging and heart-on-sleeve.
The album picked up an odd footnote: it was one of the Sony BMG releases of the period carrying the Extended Copy Protection software, the scheme that ended in lawsuits and settlements with consumers. It would be their only album until they reunited in 2015 and followed it with Colliding by Design in 2017.
