    I got this album a few weeks ago and loved it (much, much more than You Forgot It...), but this week I just saw the limited edition with the EP, so those of you that already have this version, please tell me if it's worth to buy the album again just to get the EP, I need to make my mind out today, because the guys at the store reserved the album for me, but only until today... so, should I re-buy the album just to get the EP? What kind of sound is there to it? Similar to this album, more like You Forgot It or somehting completely different?
    Thanks.

    hmmm...I would glady pay an extra $5 for the version with the EP, but rebuying it(probably about $15?) just for the EP....that's a tough one.

    The EP is GREAT. There is an alternate(faster) version of Major Label Debut that is brilliant. Also the song "Canada vs America" should definitely have made the album. I really enjoy the EP, but you would be paying $15 just for those 7 songs....if you are a big fan of the LP, it's probably worth it.

    Can you find a friend to pawn the LP off on to cut your losses?

    It's more like $22, I live in Mexico, so you can only get it as an import... Not any friend I know has the record to get me files ...But I'm open to do new friends, so if someone would be so kind to hook me with some good quality mp3's, that'll be reeeeeaaaally nice (I can send something in return).
    I'm a big fan of the album, but from what I read in amazon, the EP is kinda different, anyway I was looking for a trusty opinion from my good pals at this board...

    The EP has some outtakes on it that are like the stuff on Beehives. Spaced out electro post rockish stuff. But there are some great tunes on it. Different from the main album, but still BSS, if you know what I mean.

    I'm not good at sharing files, but I'm sure someone can help you out. The SMC is always a good place to start, and I'm sure a lot of us have the EP.

    If you can't get high on purely music and the sounds that you hear, you're missing out on something.

    Thanks burnin', yeah, I know most people here are kind when sharing music... Thing is I don't have any fuckin' patience, so I went down to the fuckin' record store and paid for it... Is times like this when I feel really good about being single... Haven't listened to the EP yet, 'cause I also got hooked with some DVD's while at the store... This damn vice!!!

    what a terribly, seemingly intentionally, boring record. Havent heard the EP though.

    please elaborate.

    this album sounds like nothing i have ever heard before...and subsequentialy takes a few listens to get used to. once you listen to it a few times, you start to understand where it is going, the beats that you thought sounded strange piled on top of each other start to gel, and it sounds awesome.

    does anyone pick up an album that they've never heard before and immediately fall in love with it anymore? it barely happens to me. if i like it, i will continue to listen and then possibly love it. this happened with this one and the new my morning jacket. it's different, it takes time. it's not this quick fix poppy catchy blink 182 b/s. there's some backbone to it.
