Whaaaat. I cannot believe this slipped by me! Thanks for sharing.

I don't know how I feel about these songs though. Kind of . . . disappointed, but I understand that today they are different people and artists than they were when they wrote their earlier stuff.

I agree, but Kim Deal is also not playing with them and that's kind of a deal breaker for me, no pun intended.

I've always felt that all of those people were necessary for the band to function. I don't know if you've seen loudQUIETloud, but it was interesting to see the dynamic that they have on a personal level. It was also as they say in the local vernacular, "a wicked bummer."

Honestly, I've never understood why these famous musicians don't just create a new project rather than pretend it's the same band releasing songs years later with new members and a new style/sound.

I agree, but I think marketing must be at play here too.
