Reviews: Even though one member of this band erroneously believes that his personal taste represents some sort of universal standard of quality, it can't be denied that the new Big Black EP is vastly better than their debut, which was itself very good. Here (except for "Jump the Climb"), they drape the same rhythmic, quasi-metallic tone over a much heavier musical skeleton with real drums and a loud guitar, and the effects are quite stunning. -Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #13, April/May 1984)
