Writing and recording
In January 2007, the band said they had composed 12 songs for their second album. Around this time, the group demoed a handful of songs for Paul Leavitt. The band began recording on April 17, 2007, with producers Matt Squire

. The group listened to the demos they had recorded previously, picking and choosing which songs they would work on further, as well as parts of other songs they wanted to retain.[ Gaskarth said the band went into the studio with around 15 songs, before that number was whittled down to three. They subsequently wrote a lot of material in the studio.][Shooman 2016]
In another studio update posted on April 27, Barakat mentioned they had narrowed down the songs that would make the album.[ Gaskarth said the group needed to write more songs,][ which resulted in the creation of five additional songs.][ One of these songs was "Come One, Come All", a track Gaskarth strongly disliked in retrospect.][Allen 2015, p. 19] Barakat, who shared Gaskarth's view on the song, added that other songs from the same time would have served better on the record. Barakat mentioned 11 would be on the album, and that they could potentially add "...another ong Ong or ONG may refer to:

Barakat said the band's members "felt that ... we have grown as musicians," with assistance from Squire and Leavitt.][ Squire worked closely with Gaskarth on creating melodies, while Leavitt worked with drummer Rian Dawson creating, as Barakat describes them, "beastly drum beats".][ Barakat mentioned that the drum and bass parts were done "pretty straight forward and quick" since Dawson and bassist Zack Merrick were "solid" on their respective instruments.][ While the bass was being recorded, Squire was working with Gaskarth on vocals.][ Squire and Leavitt engineered the recordings, while Squire mixed them. ]Ted Jensen
