    The bonus disc here is the punch in the face that we're all looking for. If you haven't heard it, go find it. Buy it, stream it, whatever. It's freakin' fantastic. Sporadically light, heavy, atmospheric. As they said themselves, "mangled outtakes" but they flow together so well. It holds my attention far better than the studio album
