excellent.......2003-12-24

I had never heard of Far or Onelinedrawing before somehow landing on this page a few weeks ago. After listening to a few samples, I put this ep on my wish list for Amazon, and over the holidays my friends purchased almost my entire list. While sifting through my plethora of cds, I stumbled upon this. I had forgotten all about it, but as soon as I put it into my computer I fell in love. Well, not really, but I enjoyed the cd a lot more than most of the cds I've bought this year. I recommend this to anyone, because it really isn't scene-specific. If you're close-minded and specifically dedicated to "emo" or "hardcore" or "goth" or any of the other fake sub-divisions of rock, you'll probably debunk this, because it is pretty mellow for rock. But then again, so are the Shins, and they are a magnificent band. I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that you should listen with an open mind, and if you do, you'll love this album.

Jonah goes further and exceeds limitations.......2003-07-19

Being a fan of Far and after their abrupt break-up a couple years back and never getting the chance to see them live it left me longing for more. And then came this ep which in one word is just Brilliant! It is filled with great inspirational numbers like the opener "Better Than This" but at the same time their are songs of regret and loss of hope like the closer "Tides". But they don't bring you down if anything they make you get up and do something. Their are good old pop songs on here too like "15,000" and "14-41",but at the same time they are so much more. My favorite track on the album would have to be "Aeroplanes" which in my opinion is the most beautiful piece of music since Radiohead's "Exit Music (For A Film)". I hope Jonah keeps churning these out because he is incredible at what he does and i can't say enough great things about this ep.

Best OLD release.......2002-10-11

Visitor was too poppy, Always New was too folky, but this one is just right. Six great songs by Jonah, all emotional and rocking. Quality stuff. The only complaint I have is that "14 to 41" sounds a bit unfinished, but if you just replace it with the version of Thriller, this is a near-perfect EP. If you like Onelinedrawing, definately check out Neutral Milk Hotel. Now THAT'S some good acoustic rock.

Good EP.......2001-04-21

After buying both Far albums, I wanted more. Fortunatly, Onelinedrawing has decent EP's out. This EP sounds like a less complex version of Water and Solutions, and has an upbeat feeling to it. Jonah has proved himself as talented a vocalist as Maynard from Tool, and uses his melodic skills much more than in Far. The only reason I'd give this four stars is that it isn't as deep as most of the music I listen to. The first time hearing any of the songs except for Tides, you catch pretty much every element of the song, and I like music that goes deeper. But overall, this is a good EP.
