While Cuomo was at Harvard, his busy schedule left his fellow band members with copious amounts of free time. Cuomo himself, while at Harvard, would focus his attention on textbooks about music theory. Various members of the band used this time to work on their respective side-projects. [[Matt Sharp]] would work to promote his side-band [[The Rentals]]' debut album, while [[Patrick Wilson]] and [[Brian Bell]] worked on material for their side-bands [[The Special Goodness]] and [[Space Twins]], respectively. The band regrouped in January 1996, during Cuomo's winter break, for a two-week recording session at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, with an intent on wrapping up the songs they had previously worked on at Electric Lady Studios from last August. As well as recording new songs, "[[El Scorcho]]", and "[[Pink Triangle]]", before the band went their separate ways, once again, while Cuomo returned to Harvard. The other members of the band went back to work on their various projects. | While Cuomo was at Harvard, his busy schedule left his fellow band members with copious amounts of free time.

{{Rivers Cuomo quote|[It] was a big change in the way we worked. I decided not to make any demos and instead just to write the basic melodies and chord changes without orchestrating everyone's parts at all. So we went into the studio without really knowing what was going to happen. And it gave everyone a lot more room to be creative and spontaneous on their instruments.|[[Addicted to Noise interview with Rivers Cuomo - 1996|''Addicted to Noise'' interview - 1996]]<ref>[[Addicted to Noise interview with Rivers Cuomo - 1996]]</ref>}} | |||
