The release will feature more intimate takes on songs from the band's catalogue, as well as covers of the Weakerthans' "Left and Leaving" and Saves The Day's "At Your Funeral."

Do not like. I'm not a big fan of when singers completely change their vocal delivery for a song, and that's exactly what Jimmy did here.

bistec (June 28, 2012)

You must not follow a lot of PBC. He change's up the delivery to a lot of songs whenever he performs.

Apeman_on_the_moon (June 28, 2012)

I saw them play live on their last tour, and don't remember him changing it up as much as he did here.

"I don't like when bands try things differently"

God. Shoot yourself, please.

Quotations are only supposed to be used to quote something that was actually said. You should have learned that in grade school.

I guess if they had done a bluegrass dubstep cover of this song, it would have been good because it was different?

Michael_Berryman (June 28, 2012)

that actually sounds rad.

polarbearsummer (June 29, 2012)

the guy just doesn't have the same ability live as he does in the booth, thats been evident for a while. oh well. still a cool band.

Spazway (June 28, 2012)

Looking forward to this release quite a bit, even more-so after that.

pdxtoph (June 28, 2012)

his vocals are so different, and awful.

Apeman_on_the_moon (June 28, 2012)

encorp would like to incorrectly quote you, and then encourage you to commit suicide.

Blackjaw_ (June 29, 2012)

They want money for this?

He should just ditch the gravel in his voice. Doesn't sound natural at all. Never really did, but it never bothered me before I heard him live.

...I do like this band. I think it would be cool if he sang normally for the next album.

Apeman_on_the_moon (June 29, 2012)

This has always bugged me. Are you the same Blackjaw as the one from GameRankings back in the early 2000's?

Blackjaw_ (June 29, 2012)

Nope.

A lot of shit-talking going on in the comments section. I mean, I realize this is Punknews we're dealing with here, but I don't think this is that bad.

overdefined (June 29, 2012)

I like when people act like Punknews comments are really negative and it is somehow unique when compared with the rest of the internet. It's the same everywhere.

preston (June 29, 2012)

I like this band. Did not like this version. I pre-ordered this yesterday. Hopefully the rest is decent.

drxandy (July 3, 2012)

god awful. srsly. this puts the original to shame.
why?!?!
