 Old vs New July 16, 2005
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
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.

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
Major Riffage July 30, 2005

I've been a hardcore CLUTCH fan ever since I heard "Spacegrass".
Seems like every album they release is worthy. If you like major riffage, pick up some CLUTCH. This one rocks just as hard as the rest.

It's sad, but for as long as I've been a Clutch fan I haven't heard most of these songs. That's kinda cool though, cause now I have like 8 new songs to listen to. OK, so this is basically a re-release of Pitchfork, which was Clutch's very first recording, originally released on a 7" vinyl. The first four songs: "Wicker", "Arcadia", "Juggernaut", and "Far Country" are the original "Pitchfork". Out of these I like "Wicker" and "Juggernaut" the best. They are good HEAVY old school sounding Clutch songs. Then you have "Nero's Fiddle", an old previously unreleased track. Next is an unreleased demo version of "Passive Restraints" I had never heard this song before and let me tell you it is very good - possibly my favorite on the album. Then you have demo versions of "Bacchanal" and "Milk of Human Kindness" These are pretty cool because they are slightly different than the ones on "Transnational". The last two tracks are previously unreleased from 2005 so they're basically new songs. Neither one of them really sound like "Robot Hive" but both are good.
To sum up - if you already have the original "Pitchfork" then maybe you don't need to get this album. But if you've never heard it, take a trip back in time with this very strong re-release. Also don't be offput by the demo's! None of them sound like "demo's" they are all very well recorded.
