Awesome, 2007-11-04
This is awesome. Battles is great. This is their best. "B EP" is too dark. "Mirrored" is too light. "EP C" is just right. "EP C" is dark AND you'll be finding yourself nodding your head to every song. No where else has this contradiction been pulled off so well. I love this. Get this. br / br /Note: "Hi/Lo" is the best instrumental song ever and also one of the best songs ever (I only put a Beatles song and a Rolling Stones song ahead of it).

Groovy but cerebral voiceless experimental rock gift, 2007-03-03
Good starting point in a pretty weak discography seems to be the briefly recorded band's most solid, articulate outing in their weird, playfully menacing style. Players are in high form here, keeping the compelling repetition informed and brisk for anyone interested in the opposite side of your typical jam band. Here the esteemed math-rock compatriots get to flex their considerable self-conscious chops, ushering in the band's renewed interest in the faltering genre. Hopefully these impressive, though essentially glorified, compositional outings will continue to refine and focus both band and fans alike as the obligatory LP hopefully looms around the corner.

Corrections, 2006-04-29
Just to disabuse anyone of the notion that Tyondai lives in Boston and is Toni Braxton's brother (per "A Music Fan"): neither is true. He lives in NYC and is the son of music god Anthony Braxton.

Good and Interesting, 2005-12-28
This short CD is what happens when 3 very talented musicians spend a day screwing around in the studio. You get some flashes of brilliance and a lot of experimenting. All of the album is interesting except the last 3 minutes or so of the last track which is utterly pointless. The first track is great stuff and reminds me of prime Don Caballero. Over-all: good stuff and well worth a listen or two, but not something that lasts.

Live show is AMAZING, 2004-06-24
I saw Battles play twice at the Middle East Club in Cambridge, MA. They put on an incredible live performance. To actually see how they recreate the music you hear on the CD is really something. I can't stop listening to this CD! If you're into intelligent instrumentals, buy this record and everything else they release.
