so i guess it's a thing du jour to do

Band have been doing it for a while now, but it's usually just after they've reunited and want to test the water: Van Halen, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath (w/RJD). I've no problem with them releasing new songs that way but I'd rather they just release it as an EP because I don't need duplicate copies of their other songs. However, I can see why it makes more commercial sense.
