It's been said that this album will be considered Tally Hall's "debut" record with Atlantic Records, since the previous release was merely a re-release of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. Because of this, there is a great hope that Atlantic Records will be much more pro-active in promoting this release.
Many of the songs expected to be on the album can be heard in this YouTube playlist: http://www.youtube.com/user/HITSdotcom#grid/user/2BFE00E91892011C

Production
On October 19th, 2009, Tally Hall began pre-production on this album.
October 26th, 2009 marked the first official day of recording at The Sunset Sound Factory with Grammy-nominated producer Tony Hoffer and engineer Todd Burke. Through Ross's Twitter it was revealed that they are recording 16 songs. Through interrogation at concerts, it was revealed that they have 14 songs, so it is assumed that one 3 part song that Andrew wrote is being counted as a single song.
On Twitter they announced that they completed tracking at 1:38am, November 26th, 2009 (Thanksgiving Day) leaving them one day to prepare for their tour with Rooney and Crash Kings beginning on November 27th.
Below you'll find a list of songs that have been confirmed, either through Twitter updates or the Boralogues, filmed by Bora Karaca.
It will be released on CD, vinyl, and digital download.
