track for track, those EPs beat out almost every track from their actual albums.

#85

I wholeheartedly disagree that the early ep’s are their best work. But who cares. It’s all great.

#86

Very good shout indeed! They never lived up to the expectation built from this EP

#87

This is 1000% the correct answer

#88

Fixed is also absolutely incredible - I know objectively broken is probably “better” but I listen to Fixed far more…

Disco Inferno’s EPs are better than their albums. Take your pick.

Fall Be Kind is right up there with the best Animal Collective stuff I reckon, feels a lot less like a clearing house EP than most of their others.

Great shout, forgot about that. The first two tracks are sublime, especially What Would I Want? Sky.

#92

The Prospect Hummer EP with Vashti Bunyan is absolutely gorgeous too!

#93

i think the panpipes on the first track immediately put me off that EP (apart from What Would I Want Sky which i’d already seen them do live)

#94

Blind Love had some good songs, even great songs. If it had been another EP, we’d probably be raving about that one too.

I’m a big fan of the EP format for its positive effect on quality control. I’d go so far as to say that at least 90% of all albums released would be significantly better if they were EPs rather than LPs.

Have you heard The Dear Hunter’s The Color Spectrum? or Thrice’s The Alchemy Index?

#96

Danan - Sissy Hits

#97

It’s an album though

#98

Technically the RCAA considers it an EP as it only contains 6 tracks

#99

I wonder how many shoegaze bands this thread applies to?

Needless to say, I have not!

(though I have heard, and highly rate, Dearhunter’s Fluorescent Grey EP)

#101

I only ever have seen (or owned) copies with this longer track listing?

#102

think that must be the UK reissue with a bunch of bonus tracks?

#103

obviously a Japanese version if we’re talking bonus tracks.
