Finally, an EP without any throwaways. Actually, the hidden track is a throwaway, but at least it's at the end, short, not a total throwaway, and hidden. Plus, I found a sealed copy for $8.50 shipped. I also note that neither Christgau nor Hull seem to have reviewed this, but both AllMusic and its users like it, and in the New Rolling Stone Album Guide, it gets 4.5 stars. Actually my favorite Bright Eyes release.
Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are noted as liked :-) (honorable mention), neutral :-|, and disliked :-(. At least 4 listens per graded album and 3 listens per ungraded album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I sold/shelved ~10,000 albums after at least 3 or 4 listens, respectively, before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they arise.
