Page left the band amicably in February 2009 to pursue solo projects, and March 7th, 2009 saw the band's first show on stage as a foursome in Orlando, Florida. Tyler Stewart proudly emblazoned his drum-set with a "Fantastic 4" logo. In March 2010, they released 'All In Good Time', their first post-Page studio album.

WHAT A GOOD BOY (Barenaked Ladies)
GDC When I was born, they looked at me and said What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy GDC And when you were born, they looked at you and said What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl
We've got these chains that hang around our necks People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same When temptation calls, we just look away
CHORUS: GD This name is the hairshirt I wear C And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair GD This song is the cross that I bear C Bear it with me, Bear with me, Bear with me GDC (open) C Be with me tonight GDC (open) C I know that it isn't right But be with me tonight
I go to school, I write exams If I pass, If I fail, If I drop out, does anyone give a damn? And if they do, they'll soon forget 'Cause it won't take much for me to show that my life ain't over yet
I wake up scared, I wake up strange I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna change I wake up scared, I wake up strange And everything around me stays the same
CHORUS
I couldn't tell you, that I was wrong Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song I couldn't tell you, you were right So instead I looked in the mirror, watched TV, layed awake all night
We've got these chains that hang around our necks Perople want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same When temptation calls . . .
