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.

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].
