I agree. However, I will say that the Lazy Line ep is much more incomplete and 'searching-for-a-sound', characteristic of new bands. Indeed the title track gives me hives... Mark.

"String Bean Jean" is merely a nice track, but to me nothing on the "Dog on Wheels" EP (with the notable exception of "The State I Am In") can touch the other records. Of course some time has passed, but there is at least an EP's worth of unreleased songs which beat DOW. (Plus, the DOW EP came with the sting of discovering they had released an entire album which had gone totally unnoticed by me and the several fans at Reckless in Chicago where I often shop. As I suggested earlier, after hearing _Tigermilk_, "Dog on Wheels" sounded weaker.)
Now "3...6...9...Seconds of Light" is disappointing? We will have to agree to disagree, since I think that is the most consistent of the 3 EPs. The first two tracks of "Lazy Line Painter Jane" hit higher highs, but let's just say that when I picked up my specially-ordered CDS after having the 7" a couple of weeks, I didn't feel like I'd been missing out on -too- much.
Of course it doesn't get much better than "You Made Me Forget My Dreams".
This is a really silly thing to discuss. You can't rightly say "this EP had nothing on this EP, because this song is awful, but this one is soooooo cool," because another person will have an entirely different opinion of things. You like certain songs better than I do, it's nothing that needs argued about.
