    A little gem in my music collection, these stripped back versions of tracks from the album II are exactly that, raw versions of their full length album songs, and probably sound as they did shortly after being written. To me that's part of their charm, and there's no doubting the pure musical talent in the 5 tracks. The first 3 stand out for me, I rate all my music I have time to listenA little gem in my music collection, these stripped back versions of tracks from the album II are exactly that, raw versions of their full length album songs, and probably sound as they did shortly after being written. To me that's part of their charm, and there's no doubting the pure musical talent in the 5 tracks. The first 3 stand out for me, I rate all my music I have time to listen to, and gave the first 3 tracks 5*, the remaining 2 I gave 4* (out of 5). I would love to get a vinyl copy of this EP! I have high hopes for the future of Unknown Mortal Orchestra… Collapse

    A showcase of clean, unadulterated guitar talent. [No. 105, p.59]

    The result is Schrödinger's cat: simultaneously interesting and dull until you listen to it. Then it's just a bit dull.

    As an EP, it’s not much to look at. But, as a quick footnote at the end of II, where it’s placed on the album’s deluxe edition, it’s a nice bonus, an insight into an artist’s process.
