Recording
[edit]Vocalist Jonah Matranga commented on the recording:[9]
"[Producer Jim Scott] was friends with everyone, and the studio was buzzing all the time. Wendy from The Revolution stopped by. Mick Jagger walked through the vocal booth. Jimmy Eat World was recording there, Liz Phair was doing a guest vocal with them, Jon Brion was walking around the hallways. We were looking for a new drummer while we were recording, and Dave Krusen came in to try out."
The album features several guest drummers.
