== '''2. Background & Development''' ==
Immediately after the release of [[Best Of Tinion Steamdust]], Bite wanted to make a second album. This one was planned to be a bit more conceptual, inspired by Miracle Musical, probably the only concept album Bite had heard at that point. There's not much known about the order the tracks were developed in, so each one will be listed among their backstory.

We're Brothers was taken straight out of an audio Bite made as a meme in 2020. Him and Lucian had joked about the lyrics being just "your mom is my mom", and the beat was chosen due to its use in [https://youtu.be/rlkSMp7iz6c?si=JmArlfKzgiifyt_v this unfortunate video]. When stumbling across the audio again, Bite decided it's time to publish it under [[Tinion Steamdust]], cut out any parts he didn't like, looped it four times and gave it the genius title inferred from the lyricism.

Encore was Bite's return to classical music composition with a twist of drums. This is one of, if not the first time he wrote his own drumline for a song. The track was made in Musescore 3, where Bite had previously composed classical music in during 2018-2019, overloaded with reverb, and slightly pitched up.
[[File:Bowlscar.png|thumb|353x353px|Poop scars, highlighted and sharpened. To this day, the bowl remains used in the BiteIsMe household, and no one knows what went down on the night of March 14th 2023.]]
It's unknown how Eating Poop came into fruition, but there is a [[Eating Poop (Full Version)|full version]] out there with 3 more gruesome verses, which really tells. This is very possibly the first time Bite wrote full lyrics to a rap song, performed them, and officially published them with a track he fully produced himself. One day, Bite wanted to make a music video for the song and baked a fake shit log in his microwave. The lump burnt the plastic bowl it was made in and the scar remains. Unfortunately, the music video was spread a little more than Bite intended for, and now the scat title will never leave his household.

Ms. Jinion began with Bite and Cameron generating the lyrics through [https://www.song-lyrics-generator.org.uk/love/ this love song generator website]. Bite hooked up his MIDI keyboard to FL Studio and improvised a piano composition while Cameron recorded his vocals live. During the recording process, something messed up and Bite's piano soundfont was glitched. Cam had a desktop recording with a correct sounding instrumental, but forced Bite to watch him delete it infront of his poor, suffering eyes - hence why the released version sounds like that.

The same lyrics website offered a country song generator too, which became Like a Goose. This time, Bite recorded Cam singing over a YouTube beat, muting his microphone in OBS and directing him through Discord, directions that mostly consisted of "more southern" being said every 5 seconds. Like a Goose was infact not written about Goose, but unintentionally became a (shameful) representation for him, like this grafitti texture.

WSWDWTDS (Live Performance), standing for What Should We Do With The Drunken Sailor, is a live performance of the famous tune recorded from Bite's phone on his Casio CT-X700. This is Bite's first cover and would stay his only one until his The Less I Know The Better joke cover. The inclusion of this theme is loosely related to Sean Wilikor, with it being the song played on top of his dialogue in Clams, but is mainly because of 777a & 777b from Best of Tinion Steamdust, which are just reversed samples of the song.

Similarly to Encore, Boiling an Egg was composed in Musescore, with the intention to be included in the old Bite's Extension. The song was supposed to play in FNaF 1's Fish Museum, which was never completed in favor of remaking the game entirely. Boiling an Egg possesses an obscure meaning - a boiled egg may be hard on the outside, but beyond that thin shell it's soft and crumbly on the inside, just like the character of [[Tinion Steamdust]] trying to present itself as something bigger and better than it really is. In the music video, the Tinion-obsessed man (judging by the amount of [[Tinion Steamdust]] Vinyls he brought to his new apartment as first priority) forgets to submerge his egg in water before attempting to flim the boiling process, simply leaving it standing in an empty pot. It may or may not represent that Tinion wasn't even worth conceptualizing anyways.[[File:GOOSE.png|left|thumb|296x296px|RonaldoCR7_RMA's treasured grafitti.]]The title Steamdust Replaced refers to the event in which [[Tinion Steamdust]] was replaced by a shape-shifting Rinion, following his kidnapping from the backstage after the Tinion Steamdust Concert from [[Tinion's Finale]]. The track is a compilation of three audio tracks - the first two sounds, the stretched scream and glitch noises were generated through Melobytes in late 2020 by Bite and his friend. It belonged to a Roblox FNaF Fangame and tied in to it's lore, but in this context it's interpreted as the Tinion's shape-shifting process. The third audio is a reversed Sparta Remix of Bite himself. The video is yet to be found.

Serenade to Tinion is a piano improvisation recorded from Bite's Casio CT-X700, just like WSWDWTDS (Live). It went on to become the [[Tinion's Finale]] title track and represent the final moments of Linion Island before it was destroyed.

Goodbye Dear Island is a short ambient string piece following Linion Island being "destroyed" in the previous track. It was first composed in Musescore and used in a Halloween update trailer for the TPRR Mod Frank Takeover. There exists an extended version for the song, but it was cut in the middle due to the chord progression just repeating in rising semitones.

The base lyrics for Linion State of Mind, like Ms. Jinion and Like a Goose, were generated through this song lyrics generator website, this time from the rap song generator. Unlike the previous two though, Bite modified the lyrics and rewrote some parts to make some verses better and the chorus change throughout, recontextualizing it as Cam's come up through the fake [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] character. The story told is true and based off Cam's discourse in the Minecraft server that sparked Linion Island and [[Tinion Steamdust]] in the first place. Cam never rapped the lyrics, instead he recorded some varied takes of him simply reading them out. Bite then sliced his syllables in Audacity and aligned them as on beat as he could. At the end of the song being created, Bite realized just how cheap the beat sounded, especially with the watermarks, and added his intro words in the beginning, playing on the fact Traphouse Productions is quite a corner cutting company.

The old lyrics for Linion State of Mind had quite a few issues, mostly due to Bite and Cam running out of prompts since Ms. Jinion & Like a Goose. When they started putting random words into the prompts without caring for the difference between nouns and adjectives, sentences like "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SazTnlve_e8 A Divorced Aardvark is Quite The Shark]" were created. That sentence was supposed to be turned into the closing track to Encore, but was ultimately forgotten about until brought back up a year later.<br><br>

== '''3. Trivia''' ==
* A [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore (Remastered)|remastered version for Encore]] was attempted to be made but ultimately scrapped.
* Bite didn't know the generated lyrics for "Linion State of Mind" were based off Nas' "N.Y. State of Mind" and was convinced he had an original hit chorus on his hands.
