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.
not crazy about the boomdroppings towards the end of cold confession, but it's an interesting track
I'd take boomdroppings over o'briencheese any day.

You know, I get the direction they have wanted to take these albums but just throw these at us on the side FFS .

That's why B-side EP's wouldn't be a terrible idea, granted they have nice songs like these. Everyone would be happy!

True. Bring back b-sides or an extra EP would be great. Or drop Lost Dogs II.

These are legit and the types of songs that keeps me hanging on for dear life in hopes they will get back to business...

So great.

They both feel that way to me. And I'm loving it.

Sounds like I won't have to mercilessly pan these songs. I'm going to hold off in case they are on the album before I listen though.

Aments bass lines throughout the end of Let It Ride are just fantastic. They are up in the mix like Present Tense, grooving in and out of the rhythm and rums, just killing it.

Great.

Even if these are just old demos, at least we get two more from the glory days of yesteryear.
