Background and recording

Regarding the writing process for II, bass guitarist Chad Ubovich noted that it was a more collaborative process than the band members were used to: “We all kind of did something we’ve never done before, which was write together as a band. That was a first for all of us. Usually in our respective projects it’s all about writing on our own, and that process. This time we tried something definitely new."^[11]
