Import-only release for the song that appeared as the bonustrack on the second edition of the hit 2000 album, 'White Pony'. Eight tracks including six non-LP tracks, four of which are previously unreleased. Tracks, 'Back To School (Mini Maggit)', 'Feiticeira' (Live), 'Back To School (Mini Maggit)'(Live), 'Nosebleed' (Live), 'Teething' (Live), 'Change (In The House Of Flies' (Acoustic), 'Pink Maggit' and 'White Pony' EPK (Short Version). 2001 release.

"This EP is great! It is an Import from Germany, the European Import is the same, but has no slip case (the picture that you see here is for the slip case). Here is a track listing:----- 1. Back To School (Mini Maggit) 2. Feiticeira (Live) 3. Back to School (Live) 4. Lifter (Live) 5. Teething (Live) 6. Change (Acoustic) 7. Pink Maggit 8. White Pony EPK (Short Version, 8:32) -----Songs 4 and 5 say that they were recorded in Chicago, but they were really recorded in Holland, and are the same versions that you will find featured on the Live [IMPORT] CD (Lifter), and the Back To School single (not EP, Teething). I hope this information was helpful. I know that it would have been for me when I was looking to buy it."
Good for the true fan

"Let me begin by saying I'm a big Deftones fan and that this CD is quite good. It's cool to hear flanger effects on the opening chimes to Live Mini Maggot compared to the studio version. Acoustic Change in the House of Flies was cool too. I only gave it 3/5 stars because on track 4, Nosebleed, theres a skip. And i've exchanged this item for a new one only to have the same problem. Also the levels between songs are messed up. i thought it could have been mixed a little better."
Solid Stop-Gap EP

"This EP was released all over Europe (not just Germany as one reviewer said) in two editions, one with a slipcase cover and one without, to coincide with the Deftones 'Back To School Tour' with support from Linkin Park and Taproot in early 2001. The main selling point of the EP is that it features the single 'Back To School' which came about after the band were playing 'Pink Maggit' at a practice session and began to jam, eventually creating the new song. The other tracks included on this release are a live version of 'Back To School' as well as the original song 'Pink Maggit'. Old live favourites 'Feiticeira', 'Nosebleed' and 'Teething' are also included along with the acoustic version of 'Change (In The House of Flies)'. The EP also features a bonus multimedia feature in the form of 'White Pony EPK', the electronic press kit sent out to journalists before the release of the 'White Pony' album. The EPK is a mini-movie of sorts with the band playing as the action unfolds. Overall, this is a solid offering from the Deftones and will definitely help to tide fans over until the release of their fourth studio album 'Lovers' as well as bringing back memories of the tour for fans like myself who attended any of the shows."
Back to School

"I bought this CD along with adrenaline after witnessing the deftones playing with linkin park+taproot, for the b2s tour, and it was blinding, linkin park were great, they sounded amazing live, but the deftones completely eclipsed them, they are now my favourite band, and i own all their albums. Frankly, i'm not a big fan of back to school, it seems like an attempt to conform with the current trend of nu-metal songs, which is no good thing. It is a catchy melodic song, with chino doing an infectious rap for the verse, and the chourus is a speedier version of the end of pink maggit ("cause back in school..we are the leaders..." etc.). I preffered pink maggit, the song back to school is derived from, from the white pony album, thankfully its included with this EP. The live tracks, which make up the majority of this ep, are pretty good, its great to hear '7 words'(one of their best songs in my opinion)live. The highlight of this ep is definately the haunting accoustic version of 'change'. It takes one of the best songs from white pony and adds a whole new level to it. Also included is the bizarre 'white pony epk', which is a promo video for the entire white pony album. It is a cryptic film interlaced with the deftones performing some tracks from white pony.I dont think back to school is a song the deftones should be promoting, it doesnt represent them fairly. If you are new to the deftones, get 'around the fur', it is possibly my favourite album ever."
