Millencolin - The Melancholy Connection

The Melancholy Connection is a compilation released in 2012, containing B-sides from previous albums.

And herein lies the problem for me: the songs feel like early drafts of the songs which ended up on the albums. Many of the verses, choruses and riffs ended up being used in other songs on the albums, sometimes mixed together completely differently and sometimes only the lyrics are different in the final product. Therefore, in my opinion, it's more of an insight into the songwriting process than songs to be enjoyed in their own right.

And I'm not enough of a Millencolin fanboy to appreciate this.

I diggit?

No.
