Dinosaurchestra is Lemon Demon’s fifth album. It is the first to include a text commentary, a secret track, and a booklet. It is also the longest Lemon Demon album to date with almost two hours of music.

Dinosaurchestra is particularly notable for the fact that many of its songs were already in the possession of fans before its release. This is because seven of the main tracks and ten of the bonus tracks were already up for download before the album was released, and six main tracks and one bonus track were later leaked, leaving only six main tracks and five bonus tracks, as well as the hidden track. The tracks already in possession of fans comprises exactly two thirds of the music on the album.

Trivia

  • The dinosaur on the main cover of the album is named "Goodsie".
  • Dinosaurchestra is the longest Lemon Demon release, at nearly 2 hours of music, though the album with the most songs is View-Monster.
  • A poorly drawn image of a dinosaur jamming out with the sun saying the band's name was the original cover, likely a placeholder.
  • Another alternative shows Neil next to a closet door with a keytar.
  • To accompany the release of the 2022 remaster of Dinosaurchestra, a 7" vinyl EP called Acrobat Unstable Record was released and contained 6 bonus tracks not on the Dinosaurchestra vinyl.
  • In 2023, a wax cylinder containing the track "The Oldest Man On MySpace" was released by Needlejuice Records.

Dinogate

Dinogate was the period after the release of The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, but before the release of Dinosaurchestra. (Between December 2005 and July 2006.) During this time, the relatively immense popularity of Showdown created many new Illemonati, who congregated at the then-newly-formed Lemon Demon forum.

During Dinogate, many unreleased Dinosaurchestra tracks were leaked via secret URLs on EvilTrailMix. Neil put them online to share amongst friends, but took them down and forbade their redistribution once their existence was noted on the forum.

The name of this period was coined by forum member Dave12D3 after the period had passed.
