It has two songs are on the later LP, and it features artwork from Paul Paddock, but that's where the similarities end between the Eps. The two songs on here are exactly as they appear on the LP unlike the previous ep. Paul's artwork really adds a certain dimension to their releases and I hope they continue doing this. For those of you who hadn't heard "Untouched and Intact" or "Somewhere along the way" in concert or otherwise should know it's emotional pop/rock splendor for the inquisitive (analytical) mind. The last two tracks are exclusive and are more in line with their previous material of quiet acoustic ruminations (with occasional vocal wailing). It even sounds of the same production quality of their first EP and also the final track of the latest album. Ultimately, this ep reads like a documentation of their equally good personalities: the acoustic introspective side and their arena-ready version of the introspection. Highly recommended, but too short.

Normally I am one of those people that wish bands wouldn't release upcoming album tracks on an EP but this one is worth the purchase. The two album tracks are absolutely awesome. If these two tracks are any indication as to the direction of the upcoming album, it would seem to me that Scream and Light Up The Sky will be a more rock driven album than their freshman project. The other two b-sides are slower songs that are predominantly acoustic driven. All for songs are a must have any serious THT fan. Jared does it again with awesome lyrics and catchy melodic hooks.
