Not at all. Just that they scrapped those tunes and went into the studio and came up w the Stand Up album instead.
I've been out of the game for a while and am barely getting back into DMB. So my timeline might be off here.
I remember when Everyday came out. I was a shocked 10th grader. There were some songs I liked but I was really wondering why they handcuffed Roi and almost refused to let the songs breath. Years later, I actually like some of the songs off of Everyday. However - there are no songs I like off of Stand Up. I can maybe tolerate some songs - and appreciate that the songs are a part of the DMB story - but that is the only reason I listen to them. I don't pretend to understand why Crazy Easy or Joy Ride were scrapped. Maybe they just aren't good studio songs. Maybe they sound too much like old DMB and they wanted to try something new. Either way, what started with scrapping the Lillywhite sessions began a trend of confusing swings and misses for the band (for me as a fan).
That being said - you can see they are still capable of making solid songs. That's why I loiter. Hoping they can recapture some of the magic I used to find incomparable and exciting.
