In late 2005 their two albums ([[Revival]] and 2004's [[Slow Burning]]) were packaged together and released as [[Double Pack]], with artwork reminiscent of an old Zig-Zag cigarette papers pack. Retailing at about the same price as each album did individually, the [[Double Pack]] was also a massive hit, though deleted quickly. They released their third album, [[Say What You're Thinking]], in 2007, which spent 28 weeks on the new Zealand charts, peaking at number 5. Their 2010 album [[On the Road Again]] peaked at number 3 on the New Zealand charts, and spent 25 weeks on the charts in total. In 2013 they toured Hawaii, and the mainland USA, following the release of their ''best-of'' [[Best so Far]] album, which peaked at number 4 on Billboard magazine's reggae charts.
