After this gig the band broke up. In January 2000 Sun Comes Up was included in the Pop & Rock magazine list of the best Greek rock albums of the 1970-2000 period. Ten years after (May 2006) the band reunited & recorded the demo song "Time stood still". The demo song was released on the compilation "One Dream Closer" (Emi/Sony Bmg).

In October 2007 they played at the Cavern Club, Liverpool, with Echo & The Bunnymen and Indigos. In November 2007, three Common Sense songs were included in Angelos Spartalis' movie "The Apple in your Head", which was presented at the 48th Thessaloniki International Film Festival. "The Snow-white Syndrome", which was awarded two prizes at the 49th Thessaloniki International Film festival in November 2008, also featured three Common Sense songs.
