On each page is a brief description of the recording process, a track list for the album, and then a list of several songs considered for the album. Several brief notes were also given on several of the songs, such as lyrics, when they were written, or the subject matter of the songs.

Much of the information on the site (particularly the pages dedicated to ''EWBAITE'') were collected from fans invited to "listening parties" (LPs), where-in [[Karl Koch]] would play in-progress demos and track lists. With the release of {{PN|Rivers Cuomo}} series of [[Alone series|''Alone'' digital compilations]] in [[2020]], some of the information on the site has been found to either be false or heavily speculative, although, on the contrary, the majority of the information could be easily verified and found to be true. The unknown nature of what exactly was speculative or true continues to make ExceptYouDie a controversial source within the fandom.


Much of the information on the site (particularly the pages dedicated to ''EWBAITE'') were collected from fans invited to "[[Focus groups|listening parties]]" (LPs), where-in [[Karl Koch]] would play in-progress demos and track lists. Following the release of {{PN|Rivers Cuomo}} series of [[Alone series|''Alone'' digital compilations]] beginning in [[2020]], some of the information on the site has been found to be a mixture of true and false (or misleading) information.
