WHY IT MATTERS
ANNIVERSARY — Re-recording a 30-year-old album instead of just remastering it is a bold move that could either prove the songs hold up or expose how much production carried them. Most bands celebrating three decades just cash the nostalgia check and play the hits; Stabbing Westward is betting fans want to hear what these songs sound like with modern tools and older voices.
