Translating the Name is the debut release by Saosin, released before Anthony Green left the band to form Circa Survive. It is also the only release from the band to feature bassist Zack Kennedy, as well as the only release to not feature drummer Alex Rodriguez. Guitarist Beau Burchell stated that Rodriguez intended to track the drums for Translating the Name but had a prior commitment with his former band Open Hand before he could join. Pat Magrath was hired as a session musician and played with Saosin only briefly before Rodriguez could join. A bonus disc with acoustic demos was shipped with early pre-orders.
