Album Notes & Community Reviews

Modeled explicitly after classic B-side compilations like Nirvana's 'Incesticide' and Oasis' 'The Masterplan', this collection rounds up deep cuts, covers, and rarities from the band's first two album cycles. It crucially includes 'Tranquilize', a stellar new studio track, as well as an acclaimed, atmospheric collaboration with Lou Reed. The release highlights the band's consistent ability to craft massive, synth-driven pop-rock anthems.
