“Erase it Again” by Sparta

"Erase it Again" comes from Threes, Sparta's third album, released on October 24, 2006, and the first with Keeley Davis, who arrived from Engine Down and Denali to play guitar. He's all over this one: Davis plays guitar next to Jim Ward, sings alongside him while Ward takes the lead, and shares the writing credit with Ward, drummer Tony Hajjar and bassist Matt Miller.

Dave Bassett produced and recorded it, Joe Chiccarelli also engineered, and Mike Major mixed. Threes as a whole ran darker and knottier than the band's earlier records, breaking hard from the old sound in places and nodding back to it in others, and the reviews split, from middling to rave. Ward said the title points to the number 3, which kept turning up at the crossroads of his life, on a record he saw as a big turning point.
