In general, I'm in agreement with this. But this sounds like it could be more a reimagining or reinterpretation, and in more of a live setting. I'm interested to see what songs they pick.

Pretty much the same with the rerecording Kiss packaged with Sonic Boom. A couple interesting ones, but for the most part, meh.

I guess these self-covers albums are considered a safer bet for sales than albums of all-new material, especially for artists who appeal to a certain demographic.. I have no real issues with this, as long as the new versions bring new aspects to the material and aren't just rote remakes. Like everything, some are better than others.
