hello! i have a question about ToD was there any other possible album covers that didn’t feature that old photo in the center?

ethan

In Archive Sunday #3, Andrew says Steve Fisk is the person in the picture on the back of ToD, but on the wiki for ToD they credit "Gordon S. Fisk" as "back cover photograph", is this a misunderstanding on my part or an error with the Wiki/Archive Sunday #3? And if it's an error with the Wiki, who is Gordon S. Fisk (If they exist) and how do you think this confusion was made by the Wiki's writers?

Which tracks on HTLT were made first for TOD before being reincorporated into HTLT? Also, how come The Deal and the America re-recording weren't released officially?

Meggie

on archive sunday 4, you showed alternative covers for ToD. speaking for your discography as a whole, which album covers took the longer for you to come to a decision on, and which came easier? is there any album art that you think sums up the album as a whole the best?

Grey :0

literally on vacation rn 🙁👎

Really hoping for some information on recording the guitars, particularly how the amps were set up and mic. I love the really bright guitar sounds on this album and TF. You mentioned recording the songs live in the studio, did you double track the guitars afterwards too?

I'd love to hear you guys talk about the process of songwriting, like if you guys pay special attention to keys/scales when writing, how long the process typically takes, and if you guys ever set aside a certain amount of time a day dedicated to songwriting. Also, when writing an album does a similar sound/theme typically occur naturally?

Angelina

I’d love to know about the name change from “There is a policeman inside all our heads…” from one of the Archive #4 album covers to “Not what I needed”.

Angelina

Also when you’re writing new music and figuring out chords, do you have a preference between guitar or piano? I only use piano even if it ends up for a guitar part just because it makes more ‘sense’ in my mind (despite guitar being my first instrument)

Angelina

How much do you think about live instrumental playability with albums? (ToD being very playable obv compared to MADLO)

I have no idea how to join the discord, I can't connect my discord to patreon somehow...

Jake

you mentioned every track on ToD being recorded live - did Ethan play bass or guitar in these sessions? or did someone else step in to play bass/lead guitar during the initial takes?

Cameron Parker

What is one thing you learned while making this album that has impacted your approach to making music as a whole?

Josh

Really hoping this will be recorded and archived

Will you ever look back on remastering and recreating Htlt in a more TOD feel?

Austinary

Are there any other songs that were written around the time of ToD that have never been released? If so, do you plan to release them? (From walter100 on Discord)
