They recorded in their living room using two sticks and the arm of a sofa as percussion.
The band originally released a 16-track demo entitled "Th Half-Time Show", which became the basis of the album "Haunted Sandwich". The debut album was recorded 3 times before the band was satisfied.
Lentil's second album came in the form of the 11-track "Answers", released christmas 2007. This album has a darker and more serious feel to it, while keeping the pop-punk edge that the fans enjoyed. "Answers" also showed that the band had matured dramatically since their first album.
In the summer of 2008, guitarist Jak Noble re-recorded the entire of "Haunted Sandwich", but vocals were not recorded until the winter and the album was finished on the 23rd of December. The album saw an improvement in production quality from "Answers", as well as more impressive solos and vocal harmonies, while still keeping true to the original album. It was renamed "Haunted Sandwich: Re-Remastered" and released on Jak's independent label "Murder on the Dancefloor Records".
George decided to leave music behind him in 2009, though Jak has reported in 2014 that he has created a synthesised version of his brother's voice and will be re-recording both of Lentil's albums with these synthesised vocals.
Memory
Lentil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't make a sound
To the hospital
I felt horrible
Could have saved her
Stopped the shooter
I'm a wiseguy
Couldn't stop her die
One time when we dated
She was assassinated
Now she's just a memory
I tryed to save her
I really did
But i just couldn't do it
Now she's just a memory

You forgot some of the most important superfoods on earth 😂😂😂
Shilajit, Ashwagandha, Tongkat Ali, Beetroot, Irish Moss, etc
@uziboozy4540
Shilajit slows down the body's aging process. You didn't include the single most important superfood 🤣

He somehow looks both incredibly healthy and terminally ill at the same time.
@mitkoogrozev
The low body fat and pale skin throws you off. People will usually have more tan due to sun exposure, but he's avoiding the sun to minimize skin cancer risk, and takes a vitamin D pill instead (usually your skin synthesizes vitamin D through UV light exposure from the Sun), and you associate pale skin with being sickly which is not always the case. You can just avoid the Sun to get the sickly look without actually be sickly.
Also his low body fat makes the bones on his face more pronounced , and terminally ill people lose weight and get a similar look in their face which is the other thing that throws you off. But the terminally ill people lose weight and continue to get worse since they don't eat and eventually die, while he eats and keeps his weight constant. Also you might be used in general to see people with unhealthy levels of fat which includes a fuller looking face, associating normally looking people ( "normal'' just means most people at this time, and doesn't mean that something is "good" ) with health, which is not the case.

Make up and TRT makes him look sort of alive
