***Error*** (stylized as ***ERROR***) is the third studio album by Mexican hard rock band The Warning, released on June 24, 2022. It is the band's first album since 2018's *Queen of the Murder Scene*, and the first under label Lava Records as well as the first produced by record producer David Bendeth and sound engineer Rick Carson. *Error* consist of fourteen songs, with the first six being released as the EP *Mayday* on October 8, 2021.

Partially funded by fans through a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign and initially planned for a late 2020 release, production of the album (initially known as ***TW3***) was delayed by several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but began by September 2020 and was completed in January 2021. The gap between recording and release has been the longest to date in The Warning's discography.

## Background and conception

By early 2020, The Warning completed pre-production and demos for their third full-length studio album and were ready to begin recording in the studio. On January 27, they launched a Kickstarter campaign to help with the expenses of producing their third album as well as financing the band's first North American Tour, which was scheduled to take place later in the year. Within the first 24 hours of the campaign's launch, it was 235% funded with 462 backers. On January 30, the band announced through a campaign update on Kickstarter that they were set to produce their third album in 2020. On February 5, the campaign was featured on the home page of Kickstarter, and by that point it was over 400% funded. By February 16, the campaign was over 500% funded, with 10 days left to go. The campaign finally concluded on February 26.

In March 2020, The Warning postponed their North American Tour due to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. With this change in plan, studio plans for the recording of their third album were also put on hold, and the band took advantage of their free time by continuing to write new songs and improving the album overall before the recording could finally be done. In August 2020, The Warning announced they had signed with Republic Records and Lava Music, and said they were "99% sure" that their third album would be recording in 2020, with the announcement of the producer they had chosen for the album imminent. In September 2020, the band traveled to New Jersey to work with producer David Bendeth following a four day quarantine and COVID-19 test.
