How do I even begin to describe this EP? I guess the only words I can truly find is; my favorite. Now with saying this, this EP is not the best music to exist on this planet. It just means so much to me because I saw the evolution of this band first hand and was their for that first release. And it has influenced me so much with taste and my own musical inspirations.
