Overall the songs sort of fall flat on this one. They are heavier but not as dynamic. God isn't bad and I love Pennies, easily the best song on here. The most interesting and equally annoying track is Pastichio Medley, a 25 minute long medley of songs pieced together from all sorts of sessions, mainly instrumentals. Each sound bite is no more than 10 seconds; pretty amazing to see how much material these guys wrote and recorded. In the end though the medley just gets annoying, they would have been better off just picking a couple of the best tracks and adding them in their entirety.
