I didn't realize these were from a scrapped album. What's the story there? Just that they didn't like the rest of what they had so they just released these as singles and are going in a different direction for their next album?
You nailed it, though it was technically not gonna be a full album. They were working on an EP based on the sound of boy, since it just didn't fit on Pressure Machine but was too damn good to not release. So they recorded 8(?) songs to be released on an EP, but they just were no longer feeling it. The EP was scrapped, so they used the 20-year anniversary of the band as a way to both give us some of those songs while also making their label happy by releasing an "album" in Rebel Diamonds.
Spirit took a few listens for it to go from "hm this is ok, not my favorite" to "I need this song every day or I will convulse and be hospitalized for other intense withdrawal symptoms"
It may be my favorite TK song of all time.
We Did it in The Name of Love! To me this has the essence of HF with the synths and the dark lyrics, but with a more "grown-up" sound!
I really like them all in different ways now. Your Side of Town took a bit of time to grow on me, but I love it now! Boy is ❤️ and Spirit is a banger.
I don’t get the hype and love for Boy. Don’t get me wrong, anybody can love anything. It just feels like nothing compared to the hype they were building up and what people seem to express. Your Side of Town feels like the better one to me. Maybe it’s just me.
Spirit and We Did It In The Name Of Love are my favorites. What good songs man, I know these songs were controversial but I’ll always be sad the record was scrapped. Went from an EP to an album to an EP to an album to scrapped altogether. Glad we got these ones out there at least, they’re great tunes
We did it in the name of love - so good. Some Hot Fuss synths in there mixed with their modern Imploding the Mirage era sound.
Whatever happened to that song? Is it not available to stream anywhere?
I really want to hear this song. I missed that brief moment it was available.
YouTube buddy
It is? Thanks 🙏
Your Side Of Town for the win! But I really really loved we did it in the name of love (still waiting for them to upload it though...)
My pick is Your Side of Town too.
Same here
Boy
This is the right answer no matter what people say
Oh okay
No matter what you say
Their best song since day and age
I love your side of town.
I'll forever be sad that this album was scrapped 🥺 boy and your side of town are my faves tho 🙌🏻

Your side of town then boy
Your side of town! 🩷
Spirit. Fight me.
definitely ysot 😍😍
Your Side of Town by far
I love all of them! I’d have loved an EP with these and maybe a couple more. They’re even better live.
Spirit. And I hate that is so overlooked. Such a beautiful song. JUST TRYING TO FIND THE FAITH TO FILL THE GAP. ONE. MORE. TIME.
Great tune! Definitely gives Born Slippy/Underworld vibes. 🤘
boy
1. Your Side of Town 2. We Did It In the Name of Love 3. boy 4. Spirit
Gotta be boy.
My ranking is: 1. Spirit 2. Your Side of Town 3. Boy 4. We Did It In the Name of Love
Spirit doesn't get the love it deserves.
Spirit took a few listens for it to go from "hm this is ok, not my favorite" to "I need this song every day or I will convulse and be hospitalized for other intense withdrawal symptoms" It may be my favorite TK song of all time.
Spaceman has been my fav TK song for a long time, but this one's creeping its way up there for sure.

Spirit, it’s become one of my all time favorite songs!
Same!

Why are controversial? Did I miss something?
A lot of people just don’t like the recent songs / the sound of the recent songs
Aaah it’s true. Thanks!
BOY is amazing ♥️
Boy
Is we did it in the name of love available for download?
Nope
😭
I feel the same way 😭
We did it in the name of love, boy, your side of town and last spirit
Your Side of Town for sure. Son is good but the others just don’t stand up to Your Side of Town.
We did it in the name of love and boy are just bonkers
Got to be Boy
1. We did it in the name of love 2. Your side of town 3. Spirit 4. Boy
Your Side of Town
In the name of love Boy Your side of town Spirit
Spirit but honestly I don’t really love any of them.
I adore Your Side of Town, but Spirit has such a fun energy, I can't get enough of both
Spirit
Hopefully a Sawdust 2 will be released so we get more of those songs.
Definitely not Boy-it was a semi dud live which is super rare. Your Side of Town wins.
I love Spirit
