4 out of 5

Produced by: Ted Niceley, Tripping Daisy

Label: Island

Two album tracks, two non-album tracks.

Regarding the latter, you can tell why they might’ve been left off of the album: they’re not bad at all – Cause Tomb Shop is fantastically upbeat – but the tone of each feels different from the slightly more alt-snarky vibe of TDs big single and other album track, Noose.  The songs are more indicative of both where their material would go and, partially, where it’d been.

Cause Tomb, as mentioned, is awesome: a surprisingly cheery pop rock song with an infectious hook.  Margarita Tropendzando is solid, but feels fairly slight in comparison to the other tracks; a bit more b-side than Cause Tomb.

Worthwhile for fans because Margarita wasn’t included on the later Time Capsule comp, and would have been a solid single back in the day before that set was released.
