Their 2nd album 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' featured a more diverse mix of influences, compared to their debut album 'Youth and Young Manhood', which was more in the straight-forward garage rock / southern rock area. 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' shows the band flirting with latin-styled music, acoustic guitars and heavy twin-guitar riffs. Producer Ethan Johns (known for Ryan Adams, Ben Kweller a.o.) handled the producers' knobs again and used the Abbey road mixing desk for this job. Eventually, the album was ranked #39 on Rolling Stone's Top 100 Albums of the Decade.
