What the fucking fuck is this?

I’d normally just not post, but I need to point out just how speechless I am.

Honestly, I do want to hear this stuff and will buy it.
However, I mean, come on guys. MORE filler release? At LEAST do something original before releasing this again.

When I first heard about RBF re-recording all of their old stuff I did think it would include more than what was on A Best Of Us… For The Rest Of Us. So here it all is!

I hate to be “that guy,” but I’m not paying for this. I hate when bands release an album that I buy and then turn around and release a, well, “Bigger Better Bonus Deluxe Edition” a year later.

Seems the new covers disc is going to be called “The Best Songs We Never Wrote”.

Anyone got a hold of this yet?

If I find it cheap somewhere online I might pick it up. Never bothered with the first version.

Seems like they obviously re-recorded all of their old material before Scott left. Why not save people the hassle and release all of it?

…this is what happen when I’m gone for a while?

Look I love supporting my favorite bands, but I just fucking bought this. Hopefully someone will upload it.

“Tip the Van (R.I.P.)” WHAT?! Aw man, they were awesome!

Fun fact: the drums in Sell Out are different than in the first Best Of. They’re mostly the same with a few minor tweaks, the most noticeable being a cymbal crash on the very first note.

The highlight of the set is definitely the Skacoustic disk. You Don’t Know, Good Thing (trumpet solo!), and Everything Sucks all surprisingly worked really well acoustically. I did miss the trumpet solo at the end of I’m Cool and the horns in One Hit Wonderful, but they sounded good enough that I could forgive it.

Also, I’m pretty sure that Nothin’ But A Good Time and Monkey Man are the same tracks as FFF. If they’re any different at all, it’s extremely minor. Veronica Sawyer is definitely different, Scott’s vocals in particular stand out a little more in this version.

All in all, definitely worth the fifteen bucks, even if you already have the first Best Of.

Is it in a digital format or only physical?

Alright y’all have convinced me. I’ll pick this up when I get the chance.

Nope, listening to them side by side, Suckers is still exactly the same as far as I can tell. Oh well.

Hey, any of y’all wanna be a bro and upload some of the new stuff to youtube or something? I specifically want to hear All I Want is More.

I, too, would like to hear this new stuff.

I’m going to buy it eventually, but it’s nice to be able to see if it’s REALLY worth my money first.

I’m really ready to hear some new material from this band…

That’s my main problem with the fact that they keep rerecording their own material — it sounded better the first time. The new recordings sound like they were done carelessly and hastily. I’m just hoping the only reason they keep doing this is to raise some more money for an original album. I asked Matt on facebook awhile ago, and he said Aaron’s been writing songs again.

I just wish they’d make another album that sounds like WDTRSH or Cheer Up.

Exactly, the first versions had so much more dynamic texture. There were cool production values that made the songs sound good. These “Best of Us” albums have the same production value as a live album without the energy of a live show.

I hate to be that guy, but could some upload this? (or at least the tracks not on the 2010 release)

Here, somebody posted this sample video on the band’s facebook. The video has short samples of Kiss Me Deadly, Another Day in Paradise, Boys Don’t Cry, We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful, Everything Sucks (skacoustic), Boss DJ, and Good Thing (skacoustic). Check it out if you’re still on the fence about buying the album.

Interesting note, Matt Wong is no longer listed as an “additional musician” for the Monkeys songs, maybe Derek rerecorded the bass on those tracks?

Still hate hate hate hate hate the production. I’ll wait for a discount.

Got the set for $10 at a concert last night. It’s definitely worth the money, in case anyone still has their doubts.

  also very good

I listened to the FFF and MFNACFF tracks along side the ones on 3 Disc Best of … What I mean is… I played one in the left headphone, and the other in the right headphone. And listened to both versions simultaneously. This makes differences stand WAY out, because they’ll only be on one side and clash with the opposite.

The drum parts are changed for a few songs. it’s to the point where most people won’t notice, though, so it’s not a huge deal. (i’m a drummer, I notice these things)

Party Down – The most noticeable difference (at least for me) is during the “choir” part after the second chorus. During that whole time, the ride cymbal is being hit rapidly instead of the crash cymbal from Monkeys. Also, the second high hat “set of hits” that goes with the solo bass part after the first chorus is slightly off sync (if that makes any sense to anyone). These are the things that stand out the most for me, and I’m pretty sure the whole drum track is rerecorded, but it’s trivial anyway.

The Set Up – The only thing I noticed here is that they took out the tambourine hits overlayed on the track. It’s a minor thing, but it does sound alot better during the horn section solo right before the guitar solo. Of course, this version is still vastly inferior to the other 2 versions anyway (WHY DOES SCOTT’S VOICE SOLO SUDDENLY SUCK HERE) but it makes it slightly more bearable for me.

I’m sure nobody cares about these, but i felt like typing them out anyway 😀

I actually came back to point out the drums on Another Day in Paradise… They’re noticeably different when listening to both.

Sigh.

Was anyone thinking about uploading the bigger better bonus deluxe unique tracks?
