Customer Reviews Worthy of Faith No More fans... Angel Dust is compelling, The Real Thing is funk and We Care A Lot is classic. . this is just weird, and funny. Mike Patton has a real knack for sound, and this CD is a fine little EP well worth the 6 or 7 dollars you are going to pay for it. Patton and company do a fine rendition of Easy, and Patton shows of his range of dynamics yet again. For those of you looking for something a little more streamlined, or for those of you who think that Patton can't do anything besides making weird noises, you will be well advised to check this EP out. Das Schutzenfest is a fine polka-styled song sung in German. Midnight Cowboy is straight from the band's epic masterpiece Angel Dust, and Let's Lynch the Landlord is probably the most entertaining Dead Kennedy's cover out there. And, to top it all off, the whole EP has a really novel feel to it. . from the CDs outrageous cover art, to its humorous title, this is an EP that any fan of Patton or Faith No More should be proud to own. If not for it's novelty, do it for Easy and Let's Lynch the Landlord. 5/5 as an EP. 4/5 as a piece of music I'd consider purchasing. . 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!. .
