CD ReviewsNot a landmark, but quite good Daniel | Columbus, OH United States | 03/22/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "Lighten up, it's only a few songs. Don't try to compare it to 'The 3 Way', or 'Better...' This is more of a stop-gap one-off than a "major opus" and, seen in that light, I'm very happy. Hey, they lost the demos to a couple of these old songs & felt it would be cheeky to record them for posterity with all of their newfound studio prowess. Consider it a quick love note to fans everywhere. The results range from dicey (the 2 short instrumental experiments-whatsits) to epic masterpiece (Won't Make You (Sleepy)). In between we get an interesting backward-look through the new-improved lens via the Byrdsian "The Any Several Sundays" and a really quirkily-compressed Neo-Eno "Touch the Water" which yes they've covered twice before, all 3 times in a different tonal universe. Perhaps this song is a good indicator of what their future full-length work might sound like. Who can say? In any case, it's cheap enough to justify the brevity, but frankly I'd buy about anything from Kurt for a whole lot more. His throwaways are worth more than most bands' career highs."
