FREAKS

Moon Tooth's debut EP is in many ways similar to their first LP, with a raw sound combined with unique, powerful vocals and regular changes throughout. The main thing that's different here is that the songs are slightly more conventional, especially in terms of vocal melodies, which aren't as all over the place here. All four of these songs are of extremely high quality, without a weakness among them. The energy present here is really fun, with really strong, groovy sections perfect for headbanging, particularly on the opening track 'Ebb/Flow', containing some really great, fun riffs. The other songs are equally as great in their own regard, making this an extremely good album all the way through, never letting up for a second in terms of quality. This would be an easy full score if not for it's extremely short length, and while I prefer quality over quantity, I'd still like some quantity to go with it, but for what it is (an EP), this is near perfection. I'd recommend this as the starting point for people who want to listen to Moon Tooth, as it's a very short album that nonetheless encapsulates their music perfectly, along with being slightly easier to get into.

Best Songs: all of them

Weakest Songs: none of them

Verdict: Just like their debut full length album, this album is highly recommended for those who really enjoy complex, heavy music with a bit of quirkiness thrown in. Definitely the best entry point for the band.
