Unless you're already a committed Fall fan, there's no particular reason to buy this. As a fan it's fairly worthwhile to own. The first five songs are plenty good enough, a fun "Clasp Hands" (is that James Brown at the last note?), awesome embryonic version of "Blindness", average embryonic version of "What About Us?", cool truncated instrumental, and a rousing sloppy performance of "Green Eyed". Then much mediocre live stuff, mostly older material performed by 2004 lineup, interesting in its way. The most tepid version of "Sparta FC" which is fine with me 'cause I don't really care for that song anyway. So I like hearing the band deliver it so badly: I think I prefer it to the album version. If you'd heard people talking this band up, you wouldn't understand the fuss based on this. Even knowing there's a middle finger embedded herein, I can't get ecstatic about it, but it is better than "Shift-work" and at least as good as "Reformation".
