it's fucking great...it's two long instrumentals...very "hey, Mogwai, remember that new sound you've been looking for, well listen to this!" i've heard Tweez a long time ago...i remember being underwhelmed and wondering why said band was supposed to be so great...i prob'ly do need to eventually pick it up though...for my rock needs, etc...

it's more like, hey EVERY BAND that doesn't do the pet sounds thing, here's your sound right here. but uh. yeah, the main thing that bugs me about tweez is the lead guitar sound.. it's like what you'd expect a pedal called the 'digital metallizer' to do.

well, the s/t ep's a little different...it specifically sounds pretty much just like Mogwai...my friend who has Tweez complains about it sounding like Rage against the Machine w/out the rapping...which coincides a bit w/ my vague memory of it...

"washer" alone is better than most bands' entire recorded output.

"Sally Can't Dance" is also better than most bands' entire outputs...but that's not really saying anything...
