In December 2010, Staind posted three webisodes from the studio, which featured the band members discussing the writing and recording process of their new album. They announced that as of April 20, they had completed the recording of their seventh and would release it later that year. Wysocki said that the album’s production was rushed as the band had waited until the last minute—before they would be in breach of their record contract—to record the album. He later said that whilst “some [of the album’s] songs came out pretty good”, it was not as well-rounded as the band’s previous efforts. Due to his frustration with the album’s production and “distractions” afflicting the band, Wysocki decided to quit Staind. “I was very frustrated with it all, so I said to the guys, ‘As much as I love this band and I love you guys, I gotta go. This is not the Staind we started out being.’” Staind announced Wysocki’s departure on May 20, 2011. Following his departure, Wysocki joined Soil .
