It’s not the greatest thing ever, but hard core Tripping Daisy fans will want to get this EP. I think the drums sound fantastic on this live recording. I wasn’t at these shows, but I did see Tripping Daisy at Trees in Dallas a few months after this was recorded and it was an incredible show. They’re a better live band than they are in the studio, and listening to this it sounds like it’d be better if you were there. Live, you’d probably dig Get it On, as it’s a great song to mosh around to. But hearing it on a piece of plastic in the living room doesn’t do too much for me. It really is a massively stupid song, and Tim Delaughter’s middle section is so grating. He annoys me on this whole thing actually. Safe/Social and Get it On (sounds like he’s saying “Donkey” instead) were the two new tracks on this, and they’re just dumb songs. We’re Only Gonna Die is a Bad Religion cover, and it’s decent, but nothing too special. The first 2 songs are the only really good things on here. I have no idea why I still own this, it’s not too impressive. For die-hards only.
