Why release something if you have nothing to say?

"I understand that not every release is going immediately become a favorite -- just look at the differences in opinion on other u-Ziq releases -- but toss-offs like this really irritate me. You don't HAVE to release a single ahead of every full-length. This one seems like an afterthought. "My Little Beatiful" did too, but had a little more meat than "The Fear."The title track is appealing, but it never progresses much past its initial hooks of a diva going "blah blah the fear, the fear blah blah," and some sampled strings. Tracks two and three? Hardly worth a description. It's not that they're horrible, they're just bland. I put more thought into pouring myself a bowl of Golden Grahams this morning. For die-hards only."
