I'll never for the life of me understand the reasoning for releasing High Hopes the way they did. The format was just plain strange.  It should either have been 1) - release those songs as part of a bigger Tracks 2 box set, or 2) - put the songs out on a series of four or five track EPs like they did with American Beauty.  Furthermore, by portraying the album as a grab bag of leftover tracks like they did in announcing its release, it gave everyone the impression that "here's a bunch of songs that weren't good enough for the discs they were recorded for."

So everyone was down on it before they even heard it. They fucked up.

Most of the songs are very good. The Morello stuff could have been one really cool EP.

High Hopes. A mini play, by Kinsey.

Bruce Fans: 'Hey Bruce, when are you gonna get off your lazy ass and release Tracks 2?'

Bruce: 'Here's a bunch of outtakes, unreleased tracks and old songs that I re-recorded. It's basically a CD from Tracks 2, but I decided to call it High Hopes. Hope you like it.'

Bruce Fans: 'You fucked it up Bruce, you asshole'. 

LOL You nailed it. Sounds like me.
