Background

In the run up to the album's release, the band ran a competition via their then-official website, appealing to fans to submit their own ideas for possible album titles, as the band proposed that they would choose a title from all of the entries received. However, despite the many suggestions, John ultimately decided to stick with his own working title for the project, 'Beetroot'.

Although the band chose not to use any of the names suggested, they did make a Top 10 list of alternate album titles:

  • '4Cast'
  • 'All of Us Are'
  • 'Out From Within'
  • 'Pyramid'
  • 'Recreativity'
  • 'Reflector'
  • 'Sense & Sensemilia'
  • 'So It Goes'
  • 'Spirit Level'
  • 'What Remains To Be Discovered?'
