Mainly for WT Collectors
Cons: You can get most of the songs elsewhere. Pros: Nice EP overall.
I say this EP should only be for collectors because many of the tracks can be found elsewhere. That's not to say this is a terrible EP or anything along those lines; but with the price given from Amazon sellers being so steep, I think it only right to warn some of you.
The EP begins with the single "What Have you Done" in both its extended and single edits. Now I've never been a big fan of this song, but I will say that the recordings are smooth and of great quality. The extended edit has a longer intro. The initial intro is actually a great addition to WHYD, as it creates a haunting atmosphere, thus setting the mood. However, it is only fair to add that you can find both song versions on the North American release of The Heart of Everything, the Japanese Release, and Special Editions as well.
Caged and Aquarius make appearances in as live recordings from Java Island. Both are sung well and once again, the recordings are smooth, compared to some other live tracks I have heard. In this, the instrumentals don't overshadow the vocals. The sound is crisp. The problem here is that, once again you can find these songs elsewhere. (From what I hear it's one of WTs concert DVDs - most likely the TSF Tour. )
However, if you are a collector of WT songs (like I am) you will be very interested in the new track that makes its appearance. That would be Blue Eyes. It's a fantastic piece of music, energizing, and overall fun to listen to. You'll be sucked into the song by the time the second verse rolls around. It's thoroughly enjoyable. If there's one reason to by this EP, this is it. I would just advise that you wait for the price to go down from the sellers before buying this.
Recommended: Only if you want the song "Blue Eyes. ".
