"First of all, its an EP but it has LOSER on it which I already have. Then it also has SOUL SUCKIN JERK which I already have. So what am I paying for? Well first off, SOUL SUCKIN JERK is even better than the one you know (and that song was flippin awesome in the first place).

Well, consider a few things. How much of a BECK fan are you? Do you like the LOSER song? Are you into BECK because you just heard that E-PRO song on the radio?

I like the songs on here a whole lot, personally. I wouldn't have just bought this myself on a whim, I knew ahead of time that I wanted the songs... Like FUME. This is a very raw, old school BECK song, about locking yourself up in a vehicle with your friend and huffing gas to get high. This song has one of the greatest BECK hooks ever....



Theres a fume, in the truck

and I don't know if I'm dead

or what the f*ck



Great stuff. Beck doesn't sware like he used to. He used to sware alot. He had a lot more piss and fire in his songs, this stuff may seem very strange to new fish. CORVETTE BURNER is another raw rowdy peice and ALCOHOL is a folksy ONE FOOT IN type of song. If you've never heard the ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE album, this one may seem kind of strange too.

Beck has a lot of ultra rare stuff, B-sides, soundtrack cuts, indie records... One of these days it would be nice to see some sort of anthology be released. Theres so much great stuff by this loser.



As for this one, try and get it cheap, as it IS only three songs that you wouldn't be able to find else where."

This CD Rocks! It is the best Loser Version.

"My favorite tune on this CD is Soul Suckin'Jerk (Reject). Most people who reviewed it, do not like it. But the fact that it is a reject, makes it likeable. But, I really do love the version.

Also, Alcohol is down right good, as is Corvette Bummer. These are the best alternatives on this CD.

Peace
