SEVENDUST BEG TO DIFFER

20

Sevendust - Retrospective Vol. 2Perhaps coinciding with the release of their latest greatest hits collection Retrospective Vol. 2, perhaps not, Sevendust have a new video for “Beg to Differ” from their latest proper album, Alpha. It’s a video of live clips, but you know what? Sevendust has always been all about the live show anyway.

Retrospective Vol. 2 — not that there was ever a release called Retrospective Vol. 1 (but there was a “Best Of” album put out by old label TVT a couple of years back) — features a DVD with a live show and documentary, and a CD with some audio cuts from the DVD as well as 3 b-sides from the Alpha sessions. And they’re pretty damn good — “Losing You” and “Rim” are solid but I can see why they were left off the album. The third unreleased track “Sleeper,” along with “Burn” (from Alpha) is a legitimate contender for one of the most progressive and adventurous songs the band has ever written. “Sleeper” is the sound of 7D taking a chance instead of rehashing the same old riffs and rhythms with different notes.

Kokoro Data MP3 Blog has all of Retrospective 2 available for download (it’s the “Try It” link hidden underneath the track listing!). Enjoy.
