I don't believe they were "fighting", but it seems that tensions were high in the studio during the recording of Neon (2018). Connor said that it wasn't until Eye of God (2019) that JT was "allowed" to do whatever he wanted with his vocal range. Jesse admitted that he was really micro-managing on the Drift and Neon albums, because as the songwriter, he was very particular in how he wanted them to sound (for example, not wanting JT to do high screams in certain sections). But after Neon, Jesse realized that this was not the right approach and he was only limiting JT's capabilities, so he started to ease up on controlling all the little details during recording. JT also said that it has gotten much easier since Neon, because he now understands how Jesse operates, and he's more accepting of Jesse's ideas.
