    Epitomizes everything bad about the already questionable garage rock revival.

    Nice introduction from Karen O and Co. This indicated what was the come in the future, nice, often frantic, sometimes off the wall, Rock. If you like this band you'll like this EP and if you don't you won't.… Expand
