" (plus Grant) wasn't even involved in the album at all. Apparently they would ocassionally consult him for this or that, but he didn't write or record anything on that album at least"
Grant has responded to this years ago on his IG and he said that Tim recorded the bass instead of him because it sounded better with him, it is quite common for rhythm guitarists to do it because the person who wrote it is likely to play it better and the bass will sound tighter, and Grant was on board with that. On the Voyeurist album it was the same thing. Not sure about James tho, but he indeed played on Voyeurist.
