4.0 out of 5 stars Old vs New, July 15, 2005

If this were a single containing just tracks 9-10 it would have gotten 5 stars....likewise if it only contained Pitchfork and the early demos. However, the new and old tracks have no business being on the same disc. IMO the new songs are superior to most of the songs on the new album, and could have easily replaced some of the instrumentals and covers that we got instead.

Tracks 5-8 are great examples that lend some insight into the evolution of the tracks on TSL. Most of them use lyrics that made their way into other songs on their debut album.

If anything, this release shows you how much Clutch's sound has changed (for good or bad depending on who you ask) since their first release.

It's definitely worth getting just for the new songs alone--and if you don't own the original Pitchfork it's a no-brainer

Listening to this album reminds me of how much I miss "Impetus" and "Transnational Speedways". Those CD's were stolen out of my car not too long ago, and I haven't gotten around to repurchasing them yet. After "Pitchfork", I definitely need to re buy.

It's really neat to hear tracks from Clutch that I've never heard before(Wicker, Arcadia, Etc.) along with old favs(Bachanall, Passive restraints, etc) and a wink wink from the evolved Clutch(what would a wookie do?, etc). The raw energy on the reissued tracks, really gives a good feel of how intense a live Clutch show is. Raging guitars, frantic pounding on the drums, and vocals barked out like a madman who just needs to tell you his crazy a$$ story. Even though Clutch has toned down the aggression and vocal effects over the last couple of Albums, they remain unique and diverse as ever. Its great to be able to get a different feel from each Clutch album that I listen to. I can thrash out and bang the steering wheel, stomp my feet to the rythm on the old wash board, or nod my head to the groove and smile, "these guys are the sh#t". If you haven't experienced the real deal yet, move the mouse up and click buy on as many albums as you can, sit back and let the music take you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inebriate Meee!!, July 14, 2005

Ah yes, the classics from Pitchfork - it is Clutch at their most angry and aggressive - no need to downtune - the Bacchannal demo is cool b/c its a bit faster than the album version - one of their most THRASH-worthy songs and one of my personal faves - it shows CLuTch is still proud of their past and haven't forgotten their roaring roots - worth the spend for any true CLUTCH fan - They are Underground Legends
