5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Expensive, but Worth it for Konstantine, April 26, 2004

By	Tatiana "thefirststaryousee" (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Truthfully, if you are a Something Corporate fan living anywhere other than Japan- I wouldn't necessarily tell you to go out an buy this CD now. You can access all the songs one other, cheaper CDs. All the songs, that is, except for one. That's right, the infamous "Konstantine". That's all there is to it, really. This may almost be the most gorgeous song ever written, and if you have yet to hear it- I wouldn't hesitate to say you are missing out on an amazing experience. Beyond beautiful lyrics, breathtaking melodies, it's just perfect in every way. As perfect a song as the relationship that inspired it was flawed.

That being said, if you can find the Drive-Thru Welcome to the Family compilation CD instead, I'd say get it instead of this. It's a lot cheaper and still has that wonderful song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, July 13, 2005

By	Christopher Giroir (UMass) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pretty nice album. The live tracks are great. The acoustic version of "I Want To Save You" doesn't quite live up to the original, but is fun to own. The main reason to get this album is if you are a fan of the band and want a copy of Forget December and Konstatine. Whether you think Konstatine is an amazing song or not, the only album that had it was out of print until the release of this EP. I am a fan of the song and happy to finally get a legal copy of it :)

5.0 out of 5 stars The first star you've ever heard, June 3, 2005

By	Kate Dunstan "katricia6" (Burlington, CT USA) - See all my reviews

The best reason to buy this CD is simple, it's "Konstantine". This song speaks for itself in more ways than I could ever describe. First, would have to be its' incredibly beautiful and inspired piano, courtesy of Andrew McMahon. Second, would be its' timeless and poetic lyrics that couldn't have been supported better by any other band, or any other voice (also courtesy of Andrew McMahon). Finally, would be its' breathtaking melodies that could bring any true musician or fan to their knees. "Konstantine" is perfect in every way, as perfect as each individual's flaws in the inspiring relationship. Any Something Corporate fan would agree. Essentially... only a true fan would feel that not only is it perfect, it is the most gorgeous song ever written.
