"First of all Johnny Angel above has no idea what he is talking about. Zan left the band of his own free will thinking that he could have a better solo career without them. The band was then forced to look for a new singer but found one in their bassist Tim Skold which is not really a stretch since he shared lead vocal duties on the first Cd anyway. This Cd is a set of demos including a cover of The Ramones "53rd and 3rd" from the second coming disc recordings which has nothing to do with the change in style that they took on in the bands 3rd and final effort Violent New Breed which only had Skold and Harry from the original line up on it. Violent New Breed is more industrial driven where as Second Coming and this I Want More EP are pure rock driven tunes with catchy riffs and hooks and a rhythm section that is missing from the other two. There is a lot more focus on the music than the first disc and Violent New Breed. Over all this is a great companion to the Second Coming cd."
