Sevendust came back swinging in 2005 with "Ugly", the lead single from Next, their fifth studio album. Drummer Morgan Rose sold it as a grab bag: a massive chorus, stripped-back verses and bridges that come down like a ton of bricks, which is about as honest a description of the band's push and pull as anyone could offer.
It got to number 12 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. P. R. Brown directed a grim horror-show of a video, with the band holed up in a dark alley while ordinary people are lured into a laboratory and have their eyes removed. It was also the first Sevendust clip to feature guitarist Sonny Mayo.
