Assembling Chronology 2006–2018 was a no-brainer the band has an abundance of fan favorite tunes from which to cherry-pick. That’s what I think is exciting about it.”īassist Bryan Richie says that it was simply the right time to put these albums out, and to revisit what has been a stellar career thus far. A lot of that stuff I never thought would see the light of day but I always thought was really cool and was proud of. ![]() Personally for me, that’s what’s exciting about the releases. Whereas the LP release is more streamlined, with just the B-side and rarities material. The set will include a booklet with essays and photos, to make it special and extra. Cronise describes the differences between the two formats and the methodology for compiling these: “The CD package will be more of a career retrospective with selections from each of our albums as well as the rarities and B-sides and things.
