After seemingly aborting the Cello sessions altogether, Rivers began a series of solo demo sessions recorded over the first half of 2004.  By July, the rest of the band was getting antsy.  Brian and Rick Rubin were cool with whatever Rivers wanted, but at a July meeting, Scott and Pat decided that they were raring to go on a new round of sessions, and the others agreed.  They moved the party to Granmaster Studios, and recording commenced.
