PANIC! AT THE DISCO haben sich kürzlich zu ihrem Entschluss geäußert, warum sie ihre gesammelten Aufnahmen zu dem Nachfolger von "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" in die Tonne gekloppt haben. Hier das Statement von Gitarrist Ryan Ross:
"We're taking a lot longer than we thought we would. It's almost as if we were writing two records. We did almost an entire album and then started over, so at the moment we're trying to catch up, but we're all really happy with the songs right now and we'll be done by February. There was definitely a vibe when we came off tour playing the same songs (from the first album) for like two years, that, when we started writing, we started doing way different stuff. Then halfway through we realised it didn't feel like us."
Die Band hat das Album in einem abgeschiedenen Studio in Nevada einspielen wollen, aber sind nach kurzer Zeit wieder in ihre Heimatstadt Las Vegas zurückgekehrt, um an ihrem Nachfolger weiter zu arbeiten.
