Perhaps what impresses most about the set is how the band draws from their endlessly deep catalogue but reworks many familiar favorites, including “Drive” from Automatic for the People, “Feeling Gravity’s Pull” from Fables of the Reconstruction, and “Electrolite” from New Adventures in Hi- Fi, such that they fit comfortably alongside their most recent material. ![]() The alternate versions of the excellent “Supernatural Superserious” (included here under its original title, “Disguised”) and “Man- Sized Wreath” suggest that the band edits their material with a strong ear for overall tone and sound quality, since the arrangements included recall the heavy distortion and grunge of their Monster era rather than the more streamlined guitar rock of Accelerate.
