A great EP
Second, I'd like to point out that this is a great one. First, I'd like to point out that EPs are supposed to be short. Not a single song on this EP is lacking, and it gives us a serious look into the direction that their sound is going. It gives you also a great sampling of their latest album with "Au Contraire" and "Memo to Human Resources". This is a fun CD to have, especially if you're a TMBG fanatic like me. Don't expect an hour-long venture, however, because that's not what this is.

1. Am I Awake- 5/5 (#1 song of the album)
2. Memo To Human Resources- 5/5
3. Au Contraire- 4/5
4. Ant- 4/5
5. Caroline, No- 4/5
.


A sampler disc with a few good gems.
The first two tracks are 100% pure quality TMBG. This mini-album is worth it just for the cover of the Beach Boys tune on track five. Tracks three and four stood out as a tad too silly in comparison to the other three tracks on the album, but are also good, even if a touch out-of-place among the others. A must-have for the unique tracks and well-priced for the limited running time.


Worth the money
Au Contraire: Good song
2. As has been previously said,

1. Memo to Human Resources: Good song
3. Ant: Previously released on the Istanbul (Not Constantinople) single, but reworked, more jazzy instrumentation, outrageous solo at the end, with Hail To The Chief added in the President line, and some different lyrics. Can be heard mostly on Gigantic.
4. Caroline, No: Good song
5. Am I Awake?: Good song

Overall value: 4 new songs and one reworking make this worth the price of admission.


A single before the album?
Anyway, this EP is great! Am I Asleep is a catchy kind of techno song that I've listened to over and over. Oh well! I guess they were just giving us a preview. Too bad it's not on their new album. Look up "The Spine" next. Memo to Human Resources is supposedly a sad song about suicide. It is nice, but gets old after awhile. Au Contraire is a great song, the second best on the EP. Has a lot of celebrity mentions and made my dad laugh. (I don't know why. ) Ant is a remake of a mellow song that they had made earlier. This version of the song is better. Caroline, no is a Beach Boys cover and is also better than the original.

Overall, a really great EP! My uncle dubbed it, "addictive".
