's Steve Huey wrote "There are some slow and/or unfocused moments ..but overall, its aggression will probably play well with late-'90s metal and punk fans." Due to the label's contractual terms and the disappointing sales of the album, the band found themselves unable to repay the cash advances given to them by Jive. Gomes is quoted as saying "We had these romantic visions of the music industry, and we thought it would be cool to be a punk band on a rap label. So we fulfilled that dream, but it was also probably the worst thing that could have happened. ..We've had offers from

A music video for "Killing Time", the second single from ''Broke'', was produced in promotion of the film '' 3000 Miles to Graceland'', which featured the song on its soundtrack. Hed PE released their third studio album, '' Blackout'', on March 18, 2003. It peaked at No. 33 on the ''Billboard'' 200, while its title track peaked at No. 21 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and at No. 32 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. Allmusic's Johnny Loftus wrote that "While it expands on melodic elements that had previously played a supporting role in the band's sound, ''Blackout'' also delivers truckloads of crushing guitar and pounding rhythm. And whether or not it is the presence of a top-line producer, (hed) pe have figured out a way to imbue their aggressive mix of heavy rock and hip-hop with some serious hooks." Guitarist Jaxon joined the band in early 2004. He is the fourth person to fill this position.


''Only in Amerika'' (2004)

Hed PE left Jive Records, releasing their fourth studio album, '' Only in Amerika'', on Koch Records on October 19, 2004. It peaked at No. 20 on the Top Independent Albums chart and at No. 186 on the ''Billboard'' 200. In his review of the album, Johnny Loftus wrote "It wants to be a confrontational megaphone in the ear of conservatives, but Jahred's torrential rhetoric is too messy and blatantly offensive to incite anything but superficial anger, and the music – though occasionally explosive – takes a backseat to the ranting."


Suburban Noize Records (2006–2010)

In 2006, Hed PE signed with Suburban Noize Records, recording their fifth studio album, '' Back 2 Base X''. The album was intended as a return to the basics of rock music, and did not rely as heavily on studio enhancement as previous releases. The album was released on June 6, 2006, the same day as '' The Best of (həd) Planet Earth'', a compilation album produced by Jive Records without the band's authorization or consent. ''Back 2 Base X'' peaked at No. 12 on the Independent Albums chart, and at No. 154 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Allmusic's Rob Theakston wrote that "''Back 2 Base X'' suffers from the same problems as ''Amerika'': it tries to be conceptual in thought à la

It would be the last album the band recorded for Suburban Noize, which Gomes described as having "imploded on itself" approximately around 2010, leaving the band without a label for the next four years.

Hed PE subsequently signed with Pavement Music. In a 2012 interview, frontman Jared Gomes stated that their album for 2013 titled ''Ascension'' would be released within the first half of 2014.
