Lee did an in-depth interview with The A.V. Club looking back at various songs and periods from Rush's 40 year career. At the end of the discussion the talk turned towards his solo experience. When asked if he would ever consider making a follow up to his 2000 solo album "My Favorite Headache," he said "Yes, I would. Definitely."

Prior to that question, he was asked what it was like to write without Neil Pearl and Alex Lifeson. He responded, "That was a real interesting period for me. It was tough because I had planned to do some jamming with my dear friend Ben Mink who is an amazing musician, producer, and songwriter in his own right, and a violinist and guitarist. Because we had been friends for so long, and we had never actually made a record together aside from him playing on the song Losing It from our Signals album, we had always planned that some time when the band was on a break, we would just get together and start writing together and see what happened.

"We were planning to do that, and suddenly tragedy struck Neil's life. His daughter was taken from him in a car accident, and everything got really weird and it was just a horrible period.
