Good but short

This album is good with it's only drawback being it's length... almost a "tease" album as just when you get going, it's over.

"The Moan" Arguably TBK's best song!

I'm kind of surprised more people haven't reviewed this EP. "The Moan" aside from "Busted" is my favorite of all TBK songs. The main riff sounds like a take off of Howlin' Wolf's "Moanin at Midnight". The middle of the song is Carney at his best and Dan ripping it up with variations of the great blues riff. This song alone makes this EP worth buying. I also really enjoy the fast paced new version of "Have Love Will Travel". This song was already a good one from their album "Thickfreakness" but it's made even better here. The Keys have another reprint on this album "Heavy Soul". I like the song but I wish they would have written a new one or put one of their unreleased songs in place of heavy soul. I don't see the need for a 4 song EP to feature two songs previouse released. If they had done something else other than heavy soul I might give this 5 stars. Next the Keys cover the Stooges "No Fun". I enjoy the song and it's a nice cover but it is not as great as the original. And no I'm not going to give it 3 stars because of the length of the album, it's called an EP for a reason people. Overall 4 stars. 2 great songs and 2 good ones.

Umm....

Everything else they've done is better than this, so this e.p. is kinda pointless. I've never heard a more boring cover of "no fun"....
