Hours is the second album by Welsh rock band Funeral for a Friend. The album was released on 13 June 2005, through Atlantic and Ferret Records.[5] The album was produced, recorded and mixed by Terry Date, with co-production by the band. Hours is notable for the band showcasing their more melodic side. The album produced four singles, "Streetcar", "Monsters", "History" and "Roses For The Dead". The album reached #12 in the UK charts going gold in exactly the same number of weeks Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation took, but spent more weeks on the top 75. It was their first album to appear on the US Billboard 200. The song "All the Rage" is featured in the video game Burnout Revenge.
