Background and recording
Regarding the writing process for II, bass guitarist Chad Ubovich noted that it was a more collaborative process than the band members were used to: “We all kind of did something we’ve never done before, which was write together as a band. That was a first for all of us. Usually in our respective projects it’s all about writing on our own, and that process. This time we tried something definitely new."[11]

gollark: It wasn't a sandboxing issue, just that `require` *didn't exist* in the environment somehow.
gollark: I think the issue which caused me to *drop* it was some quirkiness with environments because `require` is provided by `shell` for some bizarre reason, but there were issues beforehand.
gollark: That wasn't it.
gollark: I ran into a ton of problems with `require` somehow.
gollark: PotatOS actually has its own very hacky `require` implementation because of some problem or other I forgot.
