After you’ve conquered the world where do you go next? Also the question inevitably becomes, how long can it all last? For the boys in fiction land this become the moment where they knocked some stuff off their personal bucket lists (play to their biggest crowd, record at a legendary studio) but otherwise they just kept doing what they had always done. However beneath it all tensions began to brew as they inevitably do, and time began to play it’s cruel game on members. It would only be a matter of time till this moment came to an end but until that time they would enjoy what they had. Around The World No Name Face were on top of the world, and touring said world while they were at it. While traveling through Europe the band were asked by their record label if they would like to record at legendary Abbey Road studios. They emphatically said yes and were given a week to record whatever they wanted completely self-produced with the only other people in the studio being a staff engineer.
While the record label undoubtedly expected them to just make re-recordings of their current catalog and maybe a couple covers the band instead chose to record an entire album. Made up of leftovers from their previous albums and songs they had been working on while on the road the band was able to bang out the skeleton of an album in that one week. They finished the tracks while on the road and through long distance collaborations with David Moon. The album contains the first time George Packard was featured on lead vocals (and piano) as well as even more contributions from Chris Peltz and Alexander Gramm. Although the album was more sentimental than the group was generally known for it still sold well, but for those who were paying attention the deteriorating vocals of Andrew Webber indicated changes for the band were once again on the horizon.
