Vol. II of the Osees' Lev Sessions is a perfect succesor; digs more oldies out of their ever-growing backcatalog and gives them a fresh coat of paint.
Fan favourite 'Tidal Wave' starts things off strong before delving into garage nostalgia with 'The Dream', 'Enemy Destruct' and 'Destroyed Fortress Reappears'. 'Web' and 'Beat Quest' are also great, and it's cute to hear 'Spider Cider' too.
The Chrome covers that end things off are really cool; 'SS Cygni' is a hell of a bop to end things off. Xtra Happy

For what is effectively an outtakes album (the first three tracks being from the sessions for 'Face Stabber'), "Metamorphosed" doesn't fuck about in any sense of the word.
Said first three tracks get your shit pumping hard; 'Saigant' especially is a god-tier starter. The following 37 minutes after that (moreso alluding to 'I Got A Lot' here) is purely "yeah, we love CAN; here's our take on a Tago Mago-style jam".
Two complete polar opposite extremes, and yet they work together magnificently. Xtra Happy

My favourite of the lockdown era livestreams. The Lev Sessions and Red Rocks ones are great too, but Big Sur made "Mutilator Defeated At Last" click for me after I'd struggled with it for a while - those versions of 'Rogue Planet', 'Poor Queen' and 'Withered Hand' are so good, as is 'Gholü' and 'Gelatinous Cube'. The encore of Black Flag covers bang hard as shit too.
Also worth a mention are the bonus non-album Panther Rotate experiments at the start of the livestream; an interesting warm-up. Xtra Happy
