Still Searching is the second full-length album by Senses Fail, both released on Vagrant Records. A Deluxe version of the record has been released, containing a DVD with the making of the album. In the first month of sales the album has sold 200,000 copies and had been the tenth best selling cd at Best Buy that month.

The CD was recorded in the spring of 2006, and the band began playing songs from the CD on the Warped Tour that summer.

A total of six bonus tracks and B-sides have been released with different versions of the album and its singles: The song "Stretch Your Legs to Coffin Length" comes with the digital download of "Calling All Cars" from the iTunes Store. Three acoustic bonus tracks are featured on a limited number of copies purchased from Best Buy. Target customers received a sticker atop their CD cases for the download of two additional tracks ("Cinco de Mayo" and a live version of "Lady in a Blue Dress").

This album is based on the stress and anxiety issues that Buddy Nielsen, the lead singer of the band, suffered in the years before the album's release.^[1] Many of the tracks (with the exception of "To All the Crowded Rooms") tell of the point of view character's stress and anxiety. He eventually takes his own life in the track "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues"--a track in which leitmotifs from Can't Be Saved are heard. After a brief instrumental interlude ("Negative Space"), the final track, "The Priest and the Matador" tells of the dying character's refusal of spiritual help, and finally, his death.

The album was mixed by Chris Lord-Alge.^[1]
