I wouldn't get your hopes up about this being on LB. Eddie's voice is way too good on these, they're obviously old recordings. The production sounds like Avocado too.

What does Let It Ride remind you guys of? I hear a hint of Crop Duster in this.. with a little In the moonlight. A Matt song for sure.. with very little Fixin' on it

Demos most likely. Track 3 is very S/T in its vocal stylings. Track 6 I hear pure RA
i dont hear RA at all...these two seemed to be recorded during the Avocado sessions, if they are not from these sessions.

Im guessing both of them are demos, because the mixing is pretty weird...and in track 3 Ed´s vocals arent that good either.

Great songs.

Cold Confessions could have closed out ST. Maybe in my world it does.

Probably because these have that loose, jammy Riot Act feeling to them and the band clearly went a more polished and completed direction with Avocado. Unfortunately.

These songs are fucking awesome. I hope against hope they are on LB.

PJ needs to put this shit to rest and just release the track list for LB already. What the fucks?!?

It reminds me of all the Riot Act lost dogs in one song.

Ed vocals on track 3 sound very recent. Very "The End".

Why not just share these out in the open until we're told not to? It's not like they're being kept secret.

I got more of an "inside job" feel from what he is doing. It is pretty scratchy tho.
