Haven't heard it yet, but disappointed that it is only 7 songs. Also aside from "keep away" there isn't anything from the first album on it, which sucks cuz the first CD was amazing and the last two have not been imo.

Ok, on the third listen I think it is GREAT! However, it is not all an acoustic album they do have some electric guitars. My recommendation is to head over to Best Buy and pick it up.

Hmm, cool. I have the first 2 records, I really dug the first one when it came out. I like a couple tracks off the second, but it's really similar to the first. I didn't get faceless, I don't really like the singles from it so far.

How's the "Smack This" DVD that Best Buy has for ten bucks? (Or buy the EP and DVD for fifteen.)
Worth it?

However, I do feel that the 2nd and 3rd (faceless) sound exactly the same.
interesting how opinions are

I've been listening to this for a few days now, and it is quite excellent. It sucks that it's only 7 songs, but thankfully it's priced right.
The three new tracks are good. And I really like the reworking of "Awake".
I had been trying forever to get a copy of the unplugged radio performance they did last year -- now I don't have to! Although Sunny's intro to "Keep Away" was pretty funny:
"This is a song of hope...................... hope to get the bitch out of my life!"

Professor Frink, you are everywhere. Seriously. This is Alex from FMBB, Vesper from MBB, and Alex Pittman from ILM (I assume you go there?). Unlike you, I don't keep the same handle across boards.

I'm not a big Godsmack fan, but this EP really shows off their talent. The acoustic versions of the some of their hit songs are actually better than the originals in my opinion.
Highly recommended.

I broke down and picked this up, and I'm damn happy I did cuz it is FAR better than the last album 'faceless'
Pretty impressed with it for the most part, although the new songs aren't outstanding lyrically and get very repetitive they are still good entertaining songs.
"touche" featuring the guys from Dropbox really has peeked my curiousity about that band and I look forward to checking out that CD when it comes out.
