I don’t disagree. But does anyone seriously expect them to release another It’s a Sin as a free YouTube stream? This is a sketch made several years ago and no considered worth commercially releasing at the time. It’s a peek under the hood of their demo-and-reject process that was only posted because of the election.
Obviously not. I think it’s great that they release a free song—whether I end up liking it a lot or a little is another matter... But if they don't release it, there’s absolutely no chance of me liking it at all. They’ve been releasing music for 40 years, and at this point, I view any new music they put out as a bonus—as a gift.

It's the second time they do that.

They know these songs about Putin are not big ones, they don't have enough quality even for a b-side but they enjoy doing that and set them free for their fans which I think is nice.

Too much time left for a new proper studio album, so you can enjoy with these tunes but I'm sure they are not going to be listened on repeat in your playlist.

This is one song I hope never gets a proper release. It makes TNIFIL look decent.

Imagine having a problem with a song mocking Putin.
Exactly what I was thinking 😂

Live-streamed genocide in Gaza with US and UK support - going there are we Boys?

N&C don't strike me as the "Chickens for KFC" type.
