This disc is an interesting release not just because it doesn't have a label. It's also interesting because it's a band production sold exclusively by the band at their shows for the fans. The disc contains 30 tracks of demos, outtakes and rare songs recorded by the band between the span of 1996-2007. Of course the results speak for themselves. Most people who understand the nature of songwriting and the music business in general, will view this release as just that... A comprehensive look at the song writing process and a glimpse into the building blocks used to create the sound of popular band.
Fans, on the other hand, will see this little gem as more E6 material they haven't heard before. I see it as a little of both. Certain songs here I will add to my cannon of E6 numbers... Others I will view as throwaway demos or outtakes of released versions.
I could try and do a play by play breakdown, but I think the one on the back of the cardboard sleeve does justice to the material included within. Each song is given a small write up explaining where it came from, why is wasn't used, etc. etc. The descriptions can also be a little self deprecating. But they're fair.
And besides, there's so many tracks, I'd be here all day. I will say this much for it in addition to everything though... I love the disc and I'm so happy I have it. I listened to it all the way home the night after I bought it at the concert. There's so many cool little bits here... You can spend hours and not get bored. It's classic.
