I own Ten Rapid, Young Team, Come On Die Young, and this CD. EP+6 is my favorite, and is the best yet I've heard from Mogwai. Every track on this is a gem. What one reviwer said may be true; the old EP+2 flows better. However, if I had EP+2 I would certainly miss out on the awesomeness of "xmas steps" (which sounds more raw and life-like than the version on CODY) and the first 3 tracks (from the 4 Satan EP). Anyway, the track order of this CD is by no means jarring to listen to. Really, it's just plain good. EP+6 is an excellent value.

I give this 4 stars only because the songs are all good. However, the flow of this album was far superior on the old ep+2. Stanlely Kubrick is now burried deep inside this rock and roll orgy, and it dilutes the mellower vibe this album used to carry. Don't get me wrong, Superheros of BMX is a great track, but it's better on Ten Rapid where it belongs. Find a used copy of ep+2 and you'll find it a much better listening experience, and pick up Ten Rapid while you're at it. Best of both worlds.

I have recently purchased this cd. Previously I had bought Rock Action and one other cd I can't remember. I cannot stop playing these cds. The first song is 8 minutes long and it's been played 500 times already. It's addicting and is the music I've been looking for for a long long time. Intense, pretty, rough, raw, orchestral, amazing. If you like Built To Spill, Galaxie 500, My Bloody Valentine you should buy this!
