Let's rate this EP based on its musical merits, which should be the primary concern over comparing other available releases. I think "Shesmovedon" is a terrific song in PT's more accessible style. It was one of a handful of songs I played for my wife, when she wondered why I'm so fanatical about the band. Most of her favorite music could be considered classic rock; she was a child in the 70's. With an open mind, she at least found "Shesmovedon" palatable, which is definitely an accomplishment!

"Cure For Optimism" and "Untitled" fit more easily into the space rock end of the Porcupine Tree spectrum. "Untitled" pleasingly reminds me of the early "Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape", which is definitely high praise. The only reason for deducting one star for the MMA website is that I can't really consider this EP "metal". This is still a very enjoyable listening experience.
