I just picked this up from Best Buy. It's a Best Buy exclusive.

1. Best of You(Live)
2. DOA(Demo)
3. Skin and Bones
4. World(Demo)
5. I Feel Free
6. FFL

Pretty good EP. Best of You and DOA are really nothing special IMO. Skin and Bones and World are both good tunes. Both are slower songs. I wasn't crazy about I Feel Free after the first listen. FFL is okay. It's one of the Foo's heavier songs.

Do I have to double dip on the album to get it? Or can it be purchase seperately?

It's seperate for about 6 bucks.

After their lackluster double album, the foos are off my radar. I'll skip this.

So they release four INCREDIBLE albums and after only one "lackluster" one you aren't a fan anymore? Sounds like you weren't one to begin with.

I don't like IYH, but that doesn't mean I won't jump headfirst into their next effort. That's a what a fan does.

Fixed.

I know where you're coming from. I'm one of those kinds of people that stick with bands I like far past their prime. I'll be buying R.E.M. albums until they stop making them. I do that with LOTS of bands.

That being said, the Foos have been slipping for awhile, IMHO. I loved TCATS and still do. I like TINLTL and OBO but their last record was trash. A bloated double disc without enough good songs for a solid single CD. I couldn't get into it AT ALL.

Basically, what I'm saying is I'm done blind-buying foo albums. They put out another great record and I'll be sure to pick it up. We'll see.

Yeah I mean, the double album is only one of their best in many REAL Foo fans opinions.... Lackluster? Get lost from the Foos we dont need you! I mean it only got top reviews from a ton of music mags, and newspapers. I get sick of so called fans who whine about all the Foos albums which are not TCATS. Even though their other albums have won awards and have had a ton of hits.
What do you want, TCATS on every album? Clearly your not a real fan, and never were, so why am I wasting my time? GOOD QUESTION, I HAVE NO IDEA!!
Just say your a fan of TCATS, dont waste your time saying you were a Foo fan.

I think that's a fair evenhanded statement.

I guess sometimes us fans (like you with REM, who I think got bad a long time ago myself) jump on the bandwagon regardless. However, I think it's still fair to dump albums that aren't up to snuff. I am a HUGE SP fan, but Adore sucks. But then again, I think even a b-sides collection like PI was phenomenal.

Yes.

I am physically unable to not purchase every SP release. Gish is constantly playing in my head.

Did you pick up Earphoria? Underneath a bunch of crap are some great early live performances.

I for one liked the double-cd release. I've listened to it many times. I prefer the heavier CD over the more mellow one. I'll have to pick up this EP. I didn't even know it was out.

My speculation:
On TCATS are all tracks excellent. On other albums only 40-80%.
Last record (IYH) - 60%.
I don't like only TINLTL (40%), except songs Learn To Fly and Generator.

I still have a VHS copy of Earphoria (wore it out).

Auto, you should e-mail me. I have some cool SP stuff you may like.
