'Never Ending Math Equation' is one of if not their best song, but I usually can't get more than a few songs into that EP before getting bored...

i consider the album to be a grower, most of their albums are.

I'd have preferred this:



Both informative and practical.

One thing I don't understand is how bands don't include some of their best songs on an album, such as MM's 'Never Ending Math Equation'...

Well it (along with most/all of the songs on that comp) were released as EPs. I love a good solid EP, so I don't mind some great songs being on those and not on LPs. If these were outtakes/unreleased tracks, I'd agree with you.

Also, taste is subjective...maybe the band didn't like it as much as other songs they did put on albums.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I've heard good things about these guys but never took the time to explore their body of work. Can anyone recommend me a few standout songs these guys have?
