The 2003 and 2004 holiday videos had early versions of Will the Future Blame Us and Where Are You, and in 2009 weren't there some rehearsal clips with bits of Burn Burn songs?
But yeah, for the most part the rehearsal clips that the band releases has mostly been the band jamming and trying out ideas that weren't used in the albums, and usually these have a "heavier" sound than anything that gets put on an album.

I hope the next record is rockier. I have been waiting years for OLP to put out a proper Rock record..I love Burn Burn. The next one sounds like ti might be better then that..
Matt: Is this something you think happens to a lot of bands that have enjoyed the success and longevity that OLP has? Where you start out really energetic, but over time being in the business weighs you down a bit, and it takes a revisitation like this to reenergize everyone.
Raine: I think that sort of things happens to different artists in different ways. I think bringing Steve (Mazur) into the band was a huge thing and is really paying off right now guitar wise. This new record is by far our most rock record that we’ve ever made. Right away, the songs that we’ve written and that we’ll record in a few weeks are all up tempo. It’s amazing
As a band, when we play live, we want that energy, we want those dynamic moments. It’s gotten to the point where those types of moments, whether it be a song like “Starseed” or whatever, is really coming back in full force right now.
Matt: You’ve started writing the new album, where are you at in the writing, rehearsing and recording process for the new record?
Raine: We’ve got about 15 or 16 ideas right now, and in the middle of October we’re going to record five tracks. It’s amazing how up tempo they are. They’re really strong rock songs.
There’s an artistic side to them as well, but I can’t wait to play these songs live and they aren’t even recorded yet. It’s just the general vibe of the songs that’s getting me, and the whole band, really excited

He also said because of the new and old material it is really going to be hard to make set lists for their next tour...somehow I think we can predict what they will be for the most part.
I dunno, they change things up a fair amount when they do a real tour, usually. Would be easier to make setlists if they played more than 16 songs in a standard show though!

The Will The Future Blame Us and Where Are You Holday video stuff was much better than the finished product.

Wow. I thought you only knew Latin and Sanskrit... I'm impressed.
“Music doesn’t have the power to change the world. What music does is it changes people, & that changes the world, so to say that music doesn’t change people anymore is just ridiculous. It does everyday. It doesn’t have to be on a political or social level. You could be feeling shitty & it makes you happy & if that’s all it does, it’s changing the world. It’s making it a better place.” ~ Raine Maida

If "bury me with a gun" is any idication of how Raine will be singing on this next album, I believe we will see a very re energized vocal performance by him!!!
