Another wondeful CD by Matt

"These songs were taken from the "Songs We Sing" recording sessions. If you liked the songs from "Songs We Sing" then you should also love the songs on this EP. This CD is suppose to be a limited printing, so pick it up when you can. These songs seem more personal then the songs off of "Songs We Sing". Just because this CD is an EP, don't think that these songs are weak. Some of the songs are quite powerful, such a "Suicide Is Painless" and "I Tried".



If you liked "Songs We Sing" then your sure to love this CD! If you are a serious fan of Matt Costa this one is a must for your collection.



Info: 6 Songs, about 20 minute."

Absolutely outstanding

"Like many others, I discovered Matt Costa through my liking for Jack Johnson's music. This CD is brilliant. I love every song. Matt Costa sounds on this album like a slightly upbeat JJ, but with the emphasis on folk-folk/rock. I think he'll turn out to be even bigger if this is typical of the stuff he turns out. One query - I don't understand why the album claims that he wrote all the music and words - he certainly didn't write "suicide"."

Definately a good EP but not his best work

"This EP is definately worth buying just for the fact that songs like "These arms","I tried", and sweet electric guitar song "Sweet Thursday", and "Lullaby" is beautiful. But "Suicide is Painless" is just kind of dull and really just sidetracks the good energy of the EP. Definately worth buying whether youve been a fan or just started getting into him."
