With re-issues that is always so ne thing: Often it is unloving reissued old discs, which are provided with a couple of bonus tracks also owner of the original intended to motivate buying. Here it's different: Rise Against have rid their brilliant debut single of drawbacks: the feeble production. Today the songs of shine "then" in a new, harsher light. The 2000 where it still walked right pressure, was filmed at the controls and so thundering songs like "Ever Changing", "Stained Glass and Marbles" or "Alive and Well" genaso punchy from the speakers as the songs of the subsequent albums. Among the bonus tracks: In "Join the Ranks" is a track that is already known from the demo the band or "Fat Music Vol.5", but he is here in a different, newly recorded ?, version. "Gethsamane" on the other hand, from the time with Todd Mohney on guitar, the song is ungwöhlichste have the RA ever recorded and the Gitarrebspiel ago indeed strange, but still good. All in all, worth buying for owners of the original, if only because of the better sound.
