Title: Good interim release for a band on the way up
Review: Five stars for the band's next full-length studio release (I hope!). This EP may slip under the radar, since it is comprised of mainly covers, and an abbreviated version of "The Road Leads Where It's Led" from the previous album- this is a bit of a puzzle....great song, but why cut out the album intro?? The good news is that the cover songs are great. TSM have performed all of them while touring tirelessly, and it is good to have them all on one disc, since they are otherwise scattered on import EPs."Immer Wieder (De Luxe)" is simply majestic, and "Girl from the North Country" is given a startling psychedelic treatment awash with keyboards and processed guitar, all melded together with a melancholy vocal....this band is intelligent, incredibly musical, and deserves the raves they are receiving. This album will keep the fans happy while awaiting the new album, and may win them some new admirers along the way.
