 On March 8 , 2005 , a re @-@ release of Too Bad You 're Beautiful was issued , featuring the songs from the Sin , Sorrow , and Sadness EP . Under direction of producer Richardson , From Autumn to Ashes ' third full length album , Abandon Your Friends , was released on August 30 , 2005 . The album stemmed from the idea that " [ abandoning your friends is ] kind of ... what we do . I mean , in the sense of how life goes on when we go away [ on tours ] . " Abandon Your Friends met with speculation about the band 's internal conflicts surrounding a potential break up . Perri had not been much involved in the process of creating the album and did not attend practice sessions , despite stating in interviews that the album was " a full on collaborative effort " and " We just all had a say in what we were writing . " It was revealed in 2007 , in interviews , and when Mark posted in the band 's Myspace blog that he had ghostwritten Perri 's lyrics in a matter of days . The band had made a further move away from the melodic sound of their past albums , and had been a point where the band shifted more focus to Mark 's vocals . CMJ reviewer Tracey John explained that the album " continues to unabashedly straddle both ends of the hardcore / emo spectrum " , however , the band " doesn 't show much of a progression from 2003 's The Fiction We Live . " The album generally garnered reviews in which it was noted that , as a reviewer at Punk News explained that if you 're a " fan of From Autumn to Ashes , you 'll be disappointed . " Others disagreed , like UK magazine Kerrang ! who gave the album a 5 out of 5 review and called it a metal masterpiece . This album would also go on to sell over 100 @,@ 000 copies . Abandon Your Friends produced one single , " Where Do You Draw The Line ? " with an accompanying music video . Unhappy with intraband politics , guitarist Jonathan Cox quit the band .
