I know some bands do release a greatest hits compilation and include a brand new track recorded specifically for that release. So it's completely new studio recorded track and not taken from any previous recording sessions.
The problem of THP was the execution. Some tracks were repetitive in terms of structure and chord progression. Nothing amazing, nothing mindblowing except for GATS. Rebellion is the highlight of the album. I wish THP delivered more Rebellion-esque songs. Not too aggressive on vocals (except on the bridge) but heavy instrumentation.
THP has more skips than any LP albums. I'm still upset why WHITE NOISE never made to the cut and songs like Until It's Gone which is the worst song they released made to THP.
His wish came true because it turned out shit. THP was the product of his being too self-centred, too cocky with his creative idea that he's working with stuff in the vein of LT but threw that away because he want to make the most heaviest record to date. Jeez
