About the album, songwriter/lead vocalist Matt Sharp says: "If you can’t whip yourself up into a state of full-blown rapture while you’re creating, I don’t really see the point of making music. ... When I was working with Jess and Holly, for instance, I was fairly grounded in reality, but once I took their tracks back to my house I would loosen the reins to my sanity, crank the monitors so loud that all the instruments and voices would blissfully saturate together to a point where all of my delusional thoughts would just roller-skate off to Xanadu."
