It also marked a transitionary period in the group, being the first time the trio began to fracture. Shortly after the album's release, the 9/11 attacks prompted a pause in the band's schedule, which led DeLonge to explore a slower, more heavy musical style—which became the album ''[[Box Car Racer (album)|Box Car Racer]]'' (2002). Blink producer [[Jerry Finn]] naturally returned to engineer, and DeLonge, ostensibly trying to avoid paying a session player,<ref name=shooman94>Shooman, 2010. p. 94</ref> invited Barker to record drums—making Hoppus the odd man out. It marked a major rift in their friendship: while DeLonge claimed he was not intentionally omitted, Hoppus nonetheless felt betrayed.<ref name=shooman94>Shooman, 2010. p. 94</ref> "At the end of 2001, it felt like Blink-182 had broken up. It wasn't spoken about, but it felt over", said Hoppus later.<ref name=k!>{{cite journal| date =November 1, 2003| title = But Seriously Folks…| journal = [[Kerrang!]]| author = Tom Bryant| location =London | issn =0262-6624}}<!--| access-date =June 4, 2024--></ref>
