Does that mean Chris came back to the creative team?!

(I hope I'm not the only one who thinks of him in relation to Apes or shat...)

I've been trying to figure out how to make a good Chris joke since that was posted... so, no, you're not the only one. :lol:

So...I'm not the only one who doesn't know what the heck Teedus is talking about...right?

I don't think Teedus even knows what Teedus is talking about.

From olp.cc:

"Watch for another 'Best of' cd that will be released in the US on March 31st. No plans for a Canadian release yet. In addition to hits from their studio cd, the cd will include personal commentary from the band on why songs such as “Stealing Babies” and “Wipe That Smile” are among some of the band’s personal favourites. Thanks to Devi for the news."

Hmm... Is this "The Studio Files"?

why is it being released in the U.S before Canada? thats dumb

It is a Sony Legacy Release...I would imagine that the band had little to no input on this release...

For me this is the release announced for the Q1 of 2009 instead of Burn Burn. At this point i think that Burn Burn is moved to the Summer...

1. Starseed
2. Naveed
3. Superman's Dead
4. Clumsy
5. Car Crash
6. Stealing Babies (Featuring Elvin Jones)
7. Are You Sad
8. The Wonderful Future
9. Somewhere Out There
10. Innocent
11. Not Enough
12. Apology
13. Angels/Losing/Sleep
14. Wipe That Smile Off Your Face (Live in Toronto)

OK so some of this is great and some of it is not. SOT and Innocent could totally have been replaced with 4am and In Repair.

Oh well.

!!! I might buy this just for a version of TWF that's not 20 minutes long. It's terrifying when that comes up on iTunes, I don't notice that it's gone silent, and then suddenly Ray and Molly start talking. Sheesh.

No, but in all seriousness, there's almost no reason for me to buy this. The notes from the band are tempting, but I'll probably just hope someone types them up on here.

Wow. A sad way for Sony to drain more cash-flow outta the band. What a joke.

There's supposed to be some interviews with recent stuff on their as well as the first single on the track list... which is odd that I don't see that.

Flynner · Post by **Flynner** » 3/23/2009, 2:00 pm

the first single off of BURN BURN is on there too? or just them talking about the first single?

ivewaited · Post by **ivewaited** » 3/23/2009, 2:04 pm

lame.

Teedus · Post by **Teedus** » 3/23/2009, 2:21 pm

I was under the assumption that it was both the first single and interview on it. I'll ask.

All items available on Amazon.com (US) are shippable to Canada. I've ordered several items of the US website before. So us Canadians can purchase it through there no problem. Oh, and it appears that there are albums similar to this going out for Clay Aiken and possibly some other artists as well, under the same vein of the OLP album.

Also... just noticed that there's only one track from "Happiness...", while there are three tracks each from "Gravity" and "HIPT"... boo!

Waiting to Exist · Post by **Waiting to Exist** » 3/23/2009, 4:03 pm

Yeah, the tracklist is a bit incredibly lame.

Stealing Babies is a great addition, and I'm frankly a little mindblown that it's on there. Same with Car Crash and TWF. But the overlap with A Decade is ridiculous.

1. Starseed
2. Naveed
3. Superman's Dead
4. Clumsy
9. Somewhere Out There
10. Innocent
13. Angels/Losing/Sleep

7 songs of a 14-song best-of were already on the other best-of. LAAAAAAME.

I never ended up buying A Decade. I feel like I should, for completion's sake. I mean, it has Saul on the cover. That deserves my attention, anyway. Plus, Saul in my favorite incarnation: Happiness!

Heavy Alibi · Post by **Heavy Alibi** » 3/23/2009, 4:12 pm

Yeah, I mean why reuse the songs from the other compilation album that was only released 3 years ago? If they'd release more seldom-heard songs on this album, maybe more people would get to hear them. Plus I think they should have waited til after Burn Burn to do another compilation... since we could have had some BB songs on this album.

- Starseed and Naveed could become The Birdman and Neon Crossing

- Superman's Dead could become Carnival, but Clumsy should prob. stay

- SOT could become Happiness & the Fish or Blister, and Innocent could become All My Friends

- Angels/Losing/Sleep could become Don't Stop

... but anyway regardless I'm VERY pleased to see Wonderful Future, Car Crash and Stealing Babies on this album
