Content
The EP features 4 songs, all recorded at The Wade Studios by Andrew Wade in Ocala, Florida[6] and were previously released in some form by the band, though not on an album:

Reception
Thrash Hits reviewer Tom Doyle said that the first track, "Right Where You Want Me to Be", started "things off in pleasant enough fashion" with "its bouncing, super-infectious chorus".[1] Doyle called the band's cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" "a pretty sedate plod through a song which wasn’t really that good to begin with", and that their cover of The Fray's "Over My Head (Cable Car)" suited better to the band's style.[1]
