Tracks: 1: Easy [#] 2: Das Schutzenfest 3: Midnight Cowboy [Album Version] 4: Let's Lynch the Landlord

Get in the mood with Das Schutzenfest
. Worth alone for their excellent cover song, the rest of this short EP has a few oddities fans of FNM's bizarre humor might appreciate and an instrumental closer they will already know from Angel Dust.


Evidence of the genius.
Sunset on the plains, large, van-sized beasts making sweet love. The cover sets the mood. If only "Easy" was on this EP, it would be worth the price. the song is a dead-on cover (minus one verse). Patton and Co. don't really mess with the perfection of the song, but it just sounds like classic FNM. I've been listening to this for 15 years now and it still makes me smile and sing. The other songs/tracks are such oddball pieces that together, it all pretty much works - four very unique songs from one of the greatest bands of all time. I would like to bake chocolate shortbread to "Easy" as i think it will lead to some extra lovin' in the mix.


Goofy, but entertaining.
Funny. This is pretty much exactly what a cd with a postcard-like picture of rhinos humping in the sunset should sound like: Strange. . . Dare I say, sexy? Ok, not sexy. What we get here is the band's gloriously straight rendition of The Commodores' "Easy", which proves once and for all that if the whole Ipecac/being in 20 million different bands thing doesn't work out, Mike Patton could have a viable carreer singing on showboats and casinos with that smooth croon of his, an oddly hillarious Elvis-ified rendition of The Dead Kennedy's "Let's Lynch The Landlord", the well-performed version of the "Midnight Cowboy" theme already available on Angeldust, and "Das Shutzenfest", a bizarre stab at german-language polka that actually turns out to be about meeting a woman at a shooting festival and making love near the pig trough. It's probably not worth your money if you have the version of Angeldust with "Easy" as a bonus track and the Virus 100 Dead Kennedys tribute, since you then own 3/4 of the EP, but if this isn't the case, it's at least worth considering for "Easy" itself.


Even better than the original!
It pains me to say it, being as how I love DK, but the hipster tune just seems to fit!
The rest of this single, I would reccomend, but 'Let's Lynch the Landlord', I'm sorry to the Dead Kennedy's, but this's how it was meant to be done!.


Faith No More getting culture!
Two other songs are a german folk-pop dance, singing in german. Fisrt song is the cover "Easy". and a Elvis Pressly imitation
rock song. Last the cover "midnight cowboy", an instrumental.
A sure classic album!.
