They also close the recent Amierkkant album with a new take on their “Ricky’s Hand” cover.

Not to be “that guy”, but I’m sure you’re thinking of the album “HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES”?
(Unless it’s a veiled critiscizm to say the last albums sound very similar, heh)

What a great encore!
To me the last three tracks on Squirrely Years sound like the original vocals, but I’m not positive. “All Day” is definitely a new vocal – though I’m never sure whether to classify that as Twitch or Twelve-Inch Singles.
I was really surprised with how good this album turned out, especially the Twitch tracks. I kind of wish he’d do a remake of at least “Where You At Now” too. Like someone else said, it seems like he took an earnest stab at this rather than just slathering on metal arrangements and super-distorted vocals. His production/arrangement decisions modernized all three tracks and improved them without stepping all over the original sound. E.g. I’ve always hated how the synths in “Over the Shoulder” dropped out in the second part of the chorus – it felt like an oversight rather than an intentional production decision. But he actually “resolved” that in this remake.

This just feels like a fan service.
This is about 20 years too late. In order for this to have worked creatively Jourgensen should’ve gotten over his metal dude bro persona and embraced his earlier works a hell of a lot sooner. Even an early 00s Al could’ve done this justice.
These updated tunes (and i use that term loosely because even the 80’s were a hundred times more creative than todays producers) with a way past his prime Jourgensen just dont do anything for me.
He lacks that energy and fierceness he used to bring that showed up even on his pop tunes.
