  2. gives it a: 3/5

    A brilliant EP inflated to album length. Takes the sonic style of “The Soft Bulletin” but loses the focus and consistency, half-devoted to a poor concept in the beginning but totally loses track of it in the second half. The highs – “Fight Test,” “Do You Realize,” scattered moments on other tracks – are as good as anything in the band’s catalog, but the lows – the last two tracks, much of the middle part of the album – are as drab and boring as any of the Lips imitators that have sprung up in recent years.
