3.0 out of 5 stars early well, January 18, 2002

This e.p. is good. I just saw the well the other night and bought this at the show. It has seven songs - i'll list them for you ...
1. Grain Of Salt (What's The Use Of Having A Heart)
2. Lost In Silence
3. Torn
4. Obstacle
5. Material Christ
6. A Wish For Wings That Work (Live)
7. Artist's Rendering Of Me (Live)

The first five songs are a good representation of the well's growth since this e.p.'s first release. the singer is different, and the new guy is better. maybe not exactly better, just different. i like the new guy more. "Torn" is a really great song.

the last two songs are live versions of two songs from the full length "the opposite of december..." I don't really think they are a fair representation of the well's live power. these songs are with the current vocalist, but they jut lack the drive of actually being there. (i guess that's common with a lot of live recordings.) anyway, get this cd if you really like poison the well and you can't wait till february for the new album, "tear from the red", which is sure to rock socks.

5.0 out of 5 stars The CD that started it all, August 17, 2002

From the opening title "Grain of Salt" you should know this isn't the same Poison the Well that is of now, but this does not mean they did not have the intensity, the drive and the amazing technical and complex skills within their songs musically and lyrically. Instead of one vocalist like they have now, they have two on this CD. Without this CD and the opening song, this band wouldn't be who they are today. This CD is a must for all those who are Poison the Well fans or those of whom are just getting into hardcore. Every track on this CD holds a different sound, unique in it's own style. Songs like "Torn" and "Obstacle" depict what this band is truely about and what led them to become the reigning kings of Emocore, which also led among many followers.

3.0 out of 5 stars young...., December 13, 2002

only get this if you have both poison the well albums, because you will think that these guys are a ... garage band. This sounds very different from 'the well' we know now...but the live songs make it worthwhile...pick it up if you find the right price
