I enjoyed Good News, to be honest. They're definitely a favorite of mine, and I thought the new EP was good. It shows the band changing their style in a direction I think I'll really enjoy. One confusion here though... If these songs were just older work released to fill a contract, doesn't that sort of contradict your point? That would mean that the music on We Were Dead actually represents their current sound best. Don't know about that though, just wondering. And King Rat is marvelous, I like the horns and the video is entertaining. The Lonesome Crowded West remains my favorite from them though, followed by probably The Moon & Antarctica. By the way, Sad Sappy Sucker was pre-00s stuff.
