Seven Year Setlist
album by The View
Seven Year Setlist is a compilation album by the View, released on 17 June 2013. It charted at No. 7 in the Scottish Albums chart and #59 in the UK Albums Chart.
Description
The compilation is titled "Seven Year Setlist" because it comprises songs frequently performed in the band's concerts, with the exception of the new tracks. The songs are arranged in a similar order to the band's setlists.
The compilation features several of the band's singles mixed with a couple of album tracks which feature heavily in the band's usual setlist. The album also includes 3 brand new unheard tracks - "Kill Kyle", "Dirty Magazine", and "Standard". These new songs have been produced by Ex-Oasis producer Owen Morris.
Kyle Falconer has said:
"Over the years there's been four studio albums, thousands of gigs, too much vodka and loads of memories on this crazy rock 'n' roll journey. So we wanted to create an album that was kinda like stopping and looking back over the years - with a few new tracks too.

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2023.
