After Rivers returned from school in late January of 2005, the band reconvened with Rubin at his home studio to listen to previous recordings and assess their progress. Having previously dismissed the December 2003 Cello sessions, the band found that they felt the recordings were better than they remembered, and began to give them more attention, finishing any overdubs that were necessary to complete the songs. This caused them to toss aside much of the work completed the previous summer and fall. | |||
At this time, Geffen was in contact with the band, and was requesting that they finish an album for a spring release - which meant masters would have to be turned in by early March. This sent the band scrambling to complete the album, and many last-minute tweaks and decisions were made. Things were shifting so rapidly that the final track listing wasn't finalized until the eleventh hour. As such, clips of the band working on eventual non-LP tracks turned up in a press documentary. | |||
The blistering pace of recording and decision making carried through until April 6th, about a month ''after'' the label's request. Still, with Rubin's clout, the album was in fact mastered in time to make its original planned release date of May 10th - exactly eleven years after ''[[The Blue Album]]''. | |||

===The results=== | |||
When the dust settled, three batches of songs emerged. First and foremost were the twelve songs completed for ''Make Believe''. Secondly, eleven tracks that were essentially finished, but left unmixed, were the so-called Fallen Soldiers. Lastly, there remained a brief list of songs that weren't completed to anyone's satisfaction, and left by the wayside: | |||
*"[[Show Me Who You Are]]" | |||
*"[[Blowin' My Stack]]" | |||
*"[[I Don't Want Your Lovin']]" | |||
*"[[Turn Me 'Round]] | |||
*"[[Private Message]]" (alt. chorus) | |||
*"[[Private Message]]" (alt. verse) | |||

*"[[My Life Is My Life]] (acoustic) take 11 | |||
*"[[Happy On Your Own]]" | |||
