It's weird man. If this had included just a FEW new tracks I'd be so excited to give them bundles of money. We know they exist. I'm crazy enough to seriously drop $100 or more for 5 new songs in a massive collection of songs I already own. So... where are they?
To be fair, people in this thread (and elsewhere) say that we have been promised a Pandora's Box II or some sort of outtakes box set for years, but the reality is - I don't think I've ever seen a band member very seriously promise that.
I've seen fans demanding it for years, sure. But any comments I've ever heard band members make about it sound more to me like they're on the spot and need to say something. I guess a guy can hope and dream, but I think at this point these guys are just too tired and disorganized to get something like that together. This was their chance. ONE OR TWO NEW SONGS. A Girls of Summer/Lay It Down thing. Or a Devil's Got A New Disguise/Sedona Sunrise. Anything new would've been great.
As for We All Fall Down - I was initially baffled, but I think you guys may have nailed it. I guess that's going to be the "new" single.
As a fan of the band's entire career (not just the early stuff), I think they dropped the ball a little bit on the super expanded editions of the album. Hole In My Soul, Sunshine, Fly Away From Here, Baby Please Don't Go, Girls of Summer, and Devil's Got A New Disguise are missing in my opinion. Especially Baby and Girls. Baby Please Don't Go was played live a LOT and was the lead single on that album, and Girls of Summer was nominated for a Grammy and did have a music video with heavy rotation.
