The group moved to Metal Blade Records in 1998. Their first album under the label, Tape Head , signaled a new era for the band. They modified their creative methods by writing and recording the album together in the studio, rather than coming together to record songs that the individual members had written separately. They also elected not to hire an outside producer and recorded the album at Pinnick’s Hound Pound and Tabor’s Alien Beans Studios, thus cutting production costs. Their next two albums, Please Come Home… Mr. Bulbous (2000) and Manic Moonlight (2001), were more or less created in the same way.
