Prehistory
Chris Salih and Tyler Joseph met in 2008 at a party through mutual friends. Chris liked the way Tyler plays and sings and suggested making music together. They played several times in Chris's homemade recording studio and then they decided to form a band. Tyler later invited Nick Thomas to join the band as a bassist. In the fall of 2008, the group begins to rehearse songs that Tyler wrote. Tyler Joseph mentioned at the May 1, 2010 concert that the first song he showed Chris Salih was «Air Catcher». Up until early spring 2009 Tyler wrote music and songs in his basement at home and then they played them together in Chris's home studio and occasionally performed their songs live. Also at that time Tyler wrote a song to his father describing him and supporting him during the global crisis of 2008, which was told by Joseph's father himself in an interview.[2]

Unreleased songs
«Time to Say Goodbye» this song should have made it onto the album, but because of the samples from Italian singer Andrea Bocelli's song "Con te partirò" sung in duet with Sarah Brightman. But still the song was released 31 Decemver 2009 and in early 2010 on the band's official website and MySpace for free download.
«Trees» According to Nick Thomas in an interview, the song was written before the band was formed, but the band members thought it fit the band's repertoire and wanted to release it on the first album, but for some reason the song didn't make it onto the record and on December 31, 2009 it was released on the band's MySpace for free download.[3][4]
