 According to "Chart Magazine", The Reason had "sharpened their attack, tightened up arrangements and honed their harmonies to precision-drilled perfection"

In 2005, The Reason replaced Sean Palmer with Ronson Armstrong on bass and started work on their next release, patiently writing and recording songs over the next two years.They attracted the attention of Juno-winning producer Gavin Brown (Billy Talent, Three Days Grace, Thornley), who agreed to work with The Reason "as a labour of love" after hearing the demo.With Brown's help, The Reason's album, "Things Couldn't Be Better", was released March 20, 2007.
