EP\'s are a waste. Too short, too much money, just a sad idea altogether. Nothing stands in the way of them making an 80 minute album with decent production, BUT themselves. Make the financial investment and wow people with an 80 minute epic masterpiece and be done with it.
To say that the new album should exclude Tunage, Ep 3 and eschers 3+4 is ludicrous. Tunage is such a fun and powerful tune. A studio version would fit nicely on XM radio. I\'m sick of only having live versions of it on my Ipod!! While I wasn\'t a fan of Ep3 at first because of the anti-climatic blues ending, I think the band should stay consistent with releasing each episode on a studio album. And with Eschers, the band is playing it more with Chris and Matt, than they did with Ron.
All they need to do is find a half decent producer who knows how to run a mixing board and they\'re golden.
