A collection of bedroom demos recorded between 2000 and 2002, Auditions was born and released in early 2003. The CD condensed and highlighed the massive 22-track Works in Progress LP down to a more manageable 12 tracks, with the attempt of creating a more 'album-like' experience.

On February 22nd, 2005 Auditions was reissued in a newly remastered edition with a factory-pressed CD, booklets, and a jewel case.

The reissue adds the tracks "Upwards", "Wicked Follower", "One To Get Over", and the previously unreleased "Joesaphine at Parties (edit version)".

The new master was done by Richard Berger in his studio in Hollywood, CA. The new mix adds tremendous sonic range to the recording, fully fleshing out the hidden details of the sessions.

A second full-length collection of songs from the "Works" sessions was released on May 31st, 2005, entitled Callbacks.
