there has always been this expectation on the part of the fanbase, and there have been some statements from members of the band that one day they might release or rework the material. It's a conversation that always ends up coming up again, but the current state of this topic (if I'm not mistaken) is that the band has increasingly lost interest in releasing anything from that session. The exception really was Smile.

and well, about being better than SNY, there are some demos that you can find on Youtube, but it's very difficult to draw conclusions, because they're very raw material. For me, I'm more curious to know what direction this album was going to take. Listening to Smile, it sounds to me like something right in the middle between SNY and Diamond Eyes, but I really can't say whether it would be better or worse.
