Definitely worth climbingWith it's combination of punk and soul, grunge and R&B, new and old, and yes, even good and evil, the Whigs have created a sound that defies catigories and takes the listener to a place they might not have known they wanted to go, but will return to often.
a must-buy
"Creep" is a total delight--don't be put off by the fact that it is an TLC cover. This cd is essential for Whigs fans.
Really Awesome EP
The covers for "Creep" and "If I Only Had a Heart" were heartbreaking and just hit that spot. This was an excellent EP. Even a mild Whigs fan would appreciate this EP.
Just to clear things up
I recommend this cd to any whigs fan, but as Radiohead fan as well, i feel i should say: it is not Creep by Radiohead. Well, this is a brilliant EP, with two really good covers. It is Creep by TLC, which is quite different. I doubt a true Whigs fan would be really dissapointed, cause the song rocks either way, but just to prevent misleads.
Soulful and heartfelt
This EP is worth it if only just for that. The Afghan Whigs do some amazing covers, which is evident in their version of Radiohead's "Creep".
