I had no idea UNKLE released some music couple months ago. Some songs are new while some are re-treads done differently. The cd is done to fund their music so they can put a new cd out. This fellow's blog spot nails my thoughts exactly - so to save time:

it's very clearly treading the same aural waters as its predecessor, War Stories. It's a comparable cast of characters, reprising roles fully established before, and on enjoyable material to boot.
But a direct follow-up is what it sounds like. It's more cohesive than a B-sides collection however, so it should still be considered as its own work. But if War Stories was your cup of tea, you'll feel right at home here.
And if for some reason it wasn't, then don't expect much difference here. Because the same rock band chug with a hint of electronica, many of the same featured vocalists, and the same ever-so-brief slow respites used here are very much in line with War Stories. And personally I think that's a good thing, and not something to shroud.
