"I'm not really a fan of EPs but this EP has some really good stuff on it. After Nothing and Nowhere and their follow-up on Metropolis, I've actually was looking forward to this album anyhow. And hearing Shiver live made me HAVE to go out and buy this release.
Shiver is the big song from this EP, even producing a video from it (that appears as an extra on some of the releases of this album). I personally liked it because it has a steady beat, lyrics that have meaning to them, and a drove of sounds that go from melodic to rocking the proverbial house. The nice thing about this is Chibi, the lead from yet another Canadian band that isn't Decoded Feedback, does some nice work. They also have a thing for their fans so you can keep in touch with them, go to their site and get free stuff that goes with releases like this, and so on.
I Think we're alone Now is a great cover, too, and sounds a lot better when you take the 80s out of it. This isn't meant to down Tiffany - in fact, it says that the song has lasting power I never imagined when it came out.
I also commend the song red Stars because it has a nice sound and really shows you what the next album was all about. It takes a few plays to get accustomed to it but, since you are thinking of getting it, you will have plenty of time for it to grow on you. Besides, it has TBM's sound that I have grown to love and like a lot.
There are other songs on this as well, but these are what are worth mentioning to me. I personally liked this more than most EPS, too, and wanted to have it because I found I copy that was video-ready. Listen to it and see what you think - and make sure to check out Shiver because it is a good selling point.
A female lead, light and dark sounds - they have what it takes to be big.

Buy it.....

"If you listen the TBM you'll like this. Some good mixes from Walking with Strangers."
