The AOL Sessions were somewhat a surprise having only been briefly mentioned by [[Karl Koch|Karl]] in an [[Albumsix]] chat, but never confirmed. Their release was somewhat of a surprise. Even more surprising where the songs performed, three of which being recently released Red songs from Bonus Tracks and Deluxe tracks. King, however, was little of a surprise since it was being performed at the hootenannies as well. | The AOL Sessions were somewhat a surprise having only been briefly mentioned by [[Karl Koch|Karl]] in an [[Albumsix]] chat, but never confirmed.

Fans met the new sessions with somewhat mixed opinions. While many were happy to see the inclusion of Miss Sweeney (speculating it was more likely to be played on the tour), many were also upset to see more acoustic performances rather than electric performances. Additionally, Rivers Cuomo flubs a line on Miss Sweeney and holds a lyric sheet from which he reads for all of Miss Sweeney and Troublemaker. Others were upset that [[Brian Bell]] sang Why Bother? himself. However, Brian also sang Why Bother? on the [[Foozer]] tour. | Fans met the new sessions with somewhat mixed opinions.
