5.0 out of 5 stars So shave your face with some mace in the dark, March 17, 2001

By	A. Macphee (Inverness) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this CD Single simply for the simple reason that I loved the song, "LOSER"(at that time I was not a big Beck fan...I would come to my senses though and that changed). The lyrics to this song are simply beyond brilliant! This is the song that made the world aware of one of the best artists in the music industry today.

"CORVETTE BUMMER" has got a really good beat to it, while "ALCOHOL" has a cool pace to it and for the majority, is similar to MELLOW GOLD's "BLACKHOLE".

This version of "SOUL SUCKIN' JERK" is not a remix of the one you hear on MELLOW GOLD. More like just a different approach to the song using the same lyrics, but in a different music style. That, and it's a much longer version than the album version.

"FUME" is a great song. Awesome beat, great lyrics, and as usual with Beck and his last song, he has a little wait before going crazy on a melody.

I highly recommend this CD single to any Beck fanatic AND any music lover wanting to experiment!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rockin' the town like a moldy crouton!, July 4, 1998

By	Lawrence LaRaia (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great deal for this EP. It's pretty common, so if you haven't picked it up already, you probably aren't a huge Beck fan. All 4 unreleased tracks are excellent. The standout is the remix of "soul suckin' jerk". It's sbout twice as long with the original with extra verses and additional instrumentation thrown into the mix. It's really not a remix at all, just a different version. "Fume" chronicles a joyride complete with the two things no traveler should be without: nitrous and molly hatchet. All songs would easily fit on to "Mellow Gold", and prominently feature Beck's pop sensibilities. That's it. It's only 5 songs, so that's all I'm writing. Buy it. It's worth it. Thank you. Good Night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gonna fly like a dog.., November 8, 2003

By	Banned for life (Earth) - See all my reviews

This EP is absolutely perfect, I bought this based on hearing "Loser" on the radio again recently, and the best song on here has to be "Corvette Bummer", can't see why it failed to get on the album."Gonna walk around this town with a can of whiskey, gonna fly like a bird..", and the reject version of "Soul Suckin' Jerk" is also superior to "MellowGold"'s version. "Fume" is also awesome, "Smokin' broken pencils and drinkin' a Coke" will make you just crack up. Put this one in your cd changer in your trunk for sure.
