We’d been scheduling time to record together for a while. We knew that we were all busy in September, but we didn’t realize that we were busy then because we were all booked on the same tour. Arrangements developed live, and we took them straight into the studio. The crazy bass effects in “The Arsonist Story” — the sound of a match being struck, the catching fire and the gasoline being poured — those musical ideas were all worked out live. We tried to keep as much of them in the recording as possible.
