Concepts

In an interview with New Noise Magazine vocalist Michael Lessard stated that "Level 3 is a slight continuation of Level 2, but it’s not all about video games. It evolves from the concept of the character from the previous album transcending from the second dimension into the third, it’s kind of a twisty, turny thing in that, but it’s not about video games this time. It’s a different animal." Commenting on the writing process Lessard stated "The processes were similar but there were different musicians in the mix, so that made for a different creative process just dealing with different people. Generally, it was kind of the same thing but there was a little more distance between us so we had to use the interwebs a little more than usual.[8]
