    3 out of the 5 songs are good but not the typical weird stuff that ween is known for, I wish they would head back into stuff that is more brown zone.

    First track is fantastic; rest sounds like white pepper outtakes. Note that they have not been playing any of these songs live.

    As a summer stopgap for their new full-length this fall, Friends. works fine. The title track is quality, plus their fanbase eats this shit up.

    The rest of this collection floats between funny and worthless, tending much more towards the latter by the EP's close.

    This record lacks a single guitar-driven rock song, instead spoofing saccharine dance-pop and exotic tropical genres.
