"lately ive been hearing alot about this band called Gob, saw stuff about them hear from people w/similar tastes in music...so naturally, i [downloaded] a bunch of Gob songs, and i liked it...so, im at the record store and, as always trying to get everything out of my money as possible i notice i just barely have enough money to buy this EP, in addition to a full length album im buying...knowing i love the song "For the Moment" (great song!!!!) i buy it, and i am quite pleased...is Gob another pop-punk band? yes...are they still talented musicians? yes...do they fulfill their promise? they show signs...Gob is one of those bands that half the time you listen to them and go "wow, that is amazing" and half the time youre wondering why it is youre listening to them...their guitar riffs are intricate and catchy, the vocals are good, the lyrics just as good as the other pop-punk available, and the overall sound excellent...but they arent consistent, one song, like "For the Moment" will be amazing, and another song, like "Soda" will leave you reaching for that little extra, the iceberg theyve only scraped the tip of...Gob is a talented band, and this EP is worth your money, 3 star review or not...but listen to them first and make sure you know what youre in for before buying an album..."
