The Best of the Rest album contains four new singles release from 2021-2024. They are the first four tracks on the album. The remaining tunes are studio outtakes and demos from earlier albums. The Demos have been remastered but still maintain a raw sound which is actually rather refreshing in this day and age.

Best of the Rest Reviews
(1)Date : Jun 21, 2024
One of the most underrated bands from the late 80s and early 90's. These Memphis hard rockers have put out multiple great albums and after a hiatus returned to action around 2010 (a few shows before but they have become increasingly consistent). This album is rather unique.
The first four songs are relatively new tracks from 2021-2024. Two of the songs are very hard rocking, one is mid-tempo, and the other is a little bit different for Tora Tora. All four of the tracks work; they are wonderful tunes. In particular, check out Little Girl Blue.
The remaining tunes are studio outtakes and demos from some of the earlier Tora Tora albums. Most of these songs are quite good and some of them like Mary Wants Some are downright excellent. The outtakes and demos have been remastered so all of them sound good to excellent and I think you will appreciate how raw sounding they are. Too many eighties bands overproduce stuff. This album is a breath of fresh air.
Please note that though it is on the streaming sites, the physical CD is limited edition so I would grab one right now through Tora Tora's official website.
