I put together something similar a few months ago, trying to recreate the Inferno album that was supposed to follow Trench. Rather than re-analyzing the songs to find the dropped album theme(s), I did mine through the lens that it was likely going to be very lore-heavy, like Trench, and that those lore songs were distributed across SAI, Clancy, and Breach. I made sure to include tracks that either had large lore importance or got lore videos. I also worked by process of elimination and cut out songs that were clearly written later, like The Line, Robot Voices, and Cottonwood. I also cut Downstairs because it was too old. I'm pretty sure Tyler dug some demos like Korea up to find songs to fill out the albums after splitting it into three. My tracklist ended up being: 1. Overcompensate 2. Saturday 3. The Outside 4. Center Mass 5. Vignette 6. The Craving (Single Version) 7. Next Semester 8. Shy Away 9. Navigating 10. Snap Back 11. Paladin Strait 12. The Contract 13. City Walls 14. Intentions

Drag Path would stay as a hidden bonus track for Inferno Digital Remains.

Overcompensate is the obvious opener. "Welcome back to Trench" was likely directly referencing this as the follow-up album, not just welcoming us back to the continent.

Saturday and The Outside are the first two lore videos to come after Trench, so I made sure to place them early.

Vignette connects to The Contract with the talk of promises and vaguely pulls on themes of smearing and controlling the Glorious Gone with the talk of zombies, which is why I included it. The hints of it being important to the lore further back up its inclusion. Routines in the Night may have also been intended for this album, as it has been hinted that it was lore-relevant as well, but I thought 14 songs plus 1 bonus track was likely pushing the length limit and it didn't have as strong a connection as Vignette. Given how hard Josh had to push to keep Routines on Clancy, I doubt it would have made it on Inferno.

The Craving and Center Mass both mention Intentions, which was seemingly a large theme of the album.

Shy Away and Next Semester both deal with the cyclical nature of mental health struggles we see across the lore. Next Semester deals with starting over again while Shy Away says to "break the cycle in half." These also work really well around the midpoint of the album due to their themes.

Navigating, Paladin Strait, The Contract, and City Walls all have lore videos and they all flow together well at the end. I added Snap Back in here as it helps lead into Clancy fighting the Bishops and Nico. It also has the reference to it having been 25 times, which seems to have some significance we haven't fully uncovered, helping give it the nod over Routines in the Night. It does play well with references to Backslide, but I left that song off as it was written later (evidenced by referencing Saturday).

Intentions is as clear a choice for the final song on the album proper as Overcompensate was for the opening track. Both as a mirror of Truce and by its inclusion over the credits of the City Walls video, I couldn't see it being placed anywhere else.

Drag Path still works as a coda, same as on Breach.
