Endangered Species is the second album by Flaw. It was released on May
4, 2004. The album debuted at #42 on the Billboard 200 chart.
As
explained by vocalist Chris Volz, the fairly lengthy delay between the
release of Through the Eyes and Endangered Species was the result of 18
months of touring and, sequentially, the band's desire to not hastily
release an album without being happy with its contents.
After the
breakup of the band, pre-production demos for majority of the songs on
the album, in addition to 7 unreleased tracks, were made available on
the internet. They were quickly taken offline after Universal had words
with the webmaster of the site that had illegally distributed the
tracks. The webmaster was allowed by the band to put the tracks online,
but he did not have the legal rights to do so from Universal.
The
album spawned one single, "Recognize", which failed to receive
significant radio airplay, but charted higher than any other Flaw
single.
