Despite having a major hit on the early internet and being a popular band in their home of Michigan, Tally Hall didn't think about re-recording the songs featured on [[Complete Demos]] until they signed a recording contract with [[Quack!Media]]'s [[Al McWilliams]] in 2005. The idea came to record those songs, plus newly written ones, starting in June of the same year. McWilliams would give the band 2 weeks to record the album, but they needed more time to finish the album.<ref>[https://www.himalaya.com/episode/episode-5-andrew-horowitz-in-a-state-15932783 In A State Andrew Horowitz interview]</ref> They would also run into budgetary concerns, as the album cost more than triple their original budget to create.<ref>https://digital.bentley.umich.edu/midaily/mdp.39015071755156/355</ref> Part of this cost would be spent pulling in music school graduates and friends like [[Jeremy Kittel]] ([[Be Born]]) and Bobby Streng ([[Welcome To Tally Hall (Song)|Welcome To Tally Hall]]) to record parts. After 4 months of recording and mixing, the album would be finished and released on November 22nd, 2005. | Despite having a major hit on the early internet and being a popular band in their home of Michigan, Tally Hall didn't think about re-recording the songs featured on [[Complete Demos]] until they signed a recording contract with [[Quack!Media]]'s [[Al McWilliams]] in 2005.

They would also run into budgetary concerns, as the album cost more than triple their original budget to create.<ref>https://digital.bentley.umich.edu/midaily/mdp.39015071755156/355</ref> Part of this cost would be spent pulling in music school graduates and friends like [[Jeremy Kittel]] ([[Be Born]]) and Bobby Streng ([[Welcome To Tally Hall (Song)|Welcome To Tally Hall]]) to record parts. One of the tracks planned for recording was [[Inside The Mind of Simon]], a track [[Joe Hawley]] penned in 2004. This however would never happen, due to budgetary and time constraints. After 4 months of recording and mixing, the album would be finished and released on November 22nd, 2005. | |||
Later on, the album was officially re-released on September 12th, 2006. The reasons for the re-release were never clear, but this re-release coincided with additional publicity on MTV, national distribution in all major retail stores, and various other TV appearances including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Late_Show_(U.S._TV_series) The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson]. | Later on, the album was officially re-released on September 12th, 2006.
