Gone was the straight-ahead "plod-rock" of Core . In its place? The sitar-drenched stomp of "Vasoline," the Zep-esque gallop of "Silvergun Superman," and the haunting, lounge-core of "Pretty Penny."

Acoustic and demo takes of "Unglued" and "Army Ants" show how the band sculpted their wall of sound from raw ideas.
