==History==
Despite it releasing on December 15th of 2015, Admittedly Incomplete Demos wasn't advertised by official Tally Hall accounts. [[Andrew]] tweeted about listening to Admittedly Incomplete Demos five days after its release and said "''it feels like selections from a private journal have been put in the world. i did/didn't want it out there.''"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160109110451/https://twitter.com/adhorowi adhorowi Twitter archive]</ref> However, Tally Hall fansite [[Hidden In The Sand (Site)|Hidden In The Sand]] reported on the release, speculating that the release of these demos and rarities may be an act of solemn resignation, with theories regarding the inclusion of [[The Minstrel Boy]] as its a song frequently played at funerals and was composed in remembrance of the composers friends.<ref name=hits>[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/news/2015/12/tally-halls-admittedly-incomplete-demos-and-what-they-mean/ Tally Hall’s Admittedly Incomplete Demos and What They Mean.
