In mid-late 2008, plans were made to create a new album entitled "The Unidentified Plan." However, the name was scrapped and then changed to V.I.R.T.U.E.

He also revealed that he had trouble with the track listing, as there were "too many weak productions and not enought great songs." On November 3, 2008, Not Anymore was released, but as a buzz track only, as it wouldn't "appeal" to the general public. The album is scheduled to be released on the 30th of March, 2009. The song entered at 581 on the ReverbNation Band Equity Charts. It has picked up a lot of airplay on MySpace and considerable airplay on CDFuse.
