Great Stuff. Too Brief.

"Despite being an EP, this is something that any Black Keys fan should own. It gives a different perspective to the Keys as the sounds are live and the vocals are fresh, not distorted. I also like the Six Parts Seven song, even though it definitely doesn't fit with the Keys' style. A wierd EP, but definitely worth the money. If this was a tad bit longer, 5 stars would definitely exist."
Solid but short EP.

"This EP features four tracks from 2 Ohio bands: One song by The Six Parts Seven ("A Blueprint of Something Never Finished", which is re-mixed by Dave Bazan of Pedro the Lion on their CD "Lost Notes from Forgotten Songs"), and a three-song performance by the Black Keys from a WMBR radio session in May of 2003. Their songs include a song that has only been released on an early 7" (on Alive Records). Live recordings are always a plus -- especially from bands like the Black Keys who reach their peak when performing outside the studio -- and the fact that this is a radio recording means that the quality is great. Recommended for fans of either band, although be warned that this EP clocks in at just under 17 minutes."
