The band wrote more than 20 songs for the album. Some of their new material, including “In My Place” and “Animals”, were played live while the band were still touring Parachutes . The album’s title was revealed through a post on the band’s official website. The album was released in August 2002 and spawned several successful singles, including “In My Place”, ” Clocks “, and the ballad ” The Scientist “, which was inspired by George Harrison ‘s 1970 song ” All Things Must Pass “. During the week of the album’s release, manager Phil Harvey quit the band, having struggled with the pressure that came with the band’s early success, and went on to travel across South America and study in Australia.
