"a moderate foo fighters fan, I heard the band's cover of "Baker Street" once, only once, on the radio a few years ago while living in Australia, and kept an eye out for it ever since. While looking for it, I bought a couple of the foo's albums, and have become a fan of their musicianship and energy. For anyone growing up around a radio in the seventies and eighties "Baker Street" has become a part of your subconscious...admit it, you can hear that saxaphone solo now! This single is worth it just for the cover"
7-track EP is not the greatest, but still impresses

"This mini-album contains the LP version of "My Hero" as well as 4 cover songs-"Requiem", "Drive Me Wild", "Down In The Park", and "Baker Street". Requiem and Drive Me Wild are a bit too repetitive to be enjoyable, but Down In the park and Baker Street are Foo classics. Following these 5 tracks are an acoustic "See You" as on The Colour and the Shape and a Dave Grohl solo acoustic "For All The Cows". This Ep is well worth the $16 and the wait for any die hard Foo Fan."
A decent little bundle.

"First of all, this is the single to one of the coolest Foo Fighters songs, "My Hero." Very catchy, excellent lyrics and one of their best videos, too. "Baker Street" is pretty good, but is best if you already liked the original. "Dear Lover" is decent, but would have been better to include on a full length album. The multimedia section contains a short clip of the "Monkeywrench" video (so-so) and the entire "Everlong" video (JOY!). There are also some pictures and lyrics. Is this worth the price? Well...I'd say 'yes' for a hardcore fan and 'no' for a casual listener."
A Really good EP

"This EP is almost a LP. All the tracks are good. My Hero is a great song, no doubt about it. Requiem is a good cover but my least favorite track of the EP. Drive me Wild is an ok song too. Down in the Park is classic. This song is a great highlight on the EP. So is Baker Street. This song is my favorite Foo Fighter cover song so far. See you is a good song as well and I really like the live version of For all the Cows. Over all this is a great buy for a Foo Fighter fan whoever you are."
