The album starts out with a few of the tracks from Satchel, which featured Shawn Smith on vocals, Regan Hagar of drums, Jeremy Toback on bass, and Mike Berg on guitars. The tracks by Satchel are much mellower, with piano-heavy jazz undertones throughout. These tracks were taken from the band's 1997 sessions, which never saw the light of day. Here, the songs sound stripped down, yet still full enough to draw you in with Shawn Smith's smooth vocals and piano lines. Standout tracks from the Satchel sessions would definitely include "Peace and Quiet", as well as "Who's Side Are You On?" both of which draw the listener in with smooth piano leads that nearly hypnotize.

Thrown in the middle of the Satchel tracks is the Brad track "Roll Over". It is definitely the hardest track on the album, and the track that contains the most Stone Gossard-influenced guitar work. Listening to this track, it could easily fit into any of the other work Stone has done over the years, be it with Pearl Jam, Neil Young, or otherwise. The album then rolls into the aforementioned "Who's Side Are You On?" before moving on to the rest of the tracks by Brad.

The Brad half of the cd features songs from their 2001 "Welcome To Discovery Park" sessions, which would not end up making the cut on the final release. Brad is simply the same lineup as Satchel, with the addition of Stone on guitar. While the band has featured a few of these songs in a live setting since they were recorded, this is the first time Brad fans get a taste of them on cd.

What definitely stands out on the Brad tracks is that, while they are somewhat similar in style to the Satchel tracks, they are more guitar-laced, thanks to Stone, but also more experimental. The tracks "3 O'clock", as well as "Awake", feature a steady looping drum track, which the rest of the band, musically and vocally, surrounds itself in. While these tracks aren't bad, they aren't what this listener always prefers, and I found myself more than once skipping on to the next track after a minute or two, due to the repetition.

The other way Brad seems to venture out a bit is on "Summertime Song", a happy acoustic-based jam that seems a bit out of character for the band. That could very well be the reason they didn't release it on "Welcome To Discovery Park", but felt more than comfortable releasing it here.
