Wrapped Up in Books Review
i've never been a huge fan of belle and sebastian. i was reading pitchforkmedia's reviews of their eps (and i normally don't agree with pitchforkmedia), and on the offchance, i picked up the 'books' ep. wow. i remember buying 'if you're feeling sinister' and not liking it very much. i may have been too young to appreciate it. i'm not sure since i've not heard it lately. but anyway, 'books.' it's an outstanding ep. this is more like 4-and-a-half stars though. the song 'your cover's blown' gets 5 stars alone, but the ep loses half a point because the other songs (as great as they are) don't come anywhere close to 'your cover's blown.' you will not be disappointed....unless you are. i can't really help that. All 3 Import versions of Books packed into 1 handy & very reasonably priced CD. Featuring "Wrapped up in Books" (from Dear Catastrophe Waitress) + 3 new tracks. Also includes lots of enhanced special features.

Average for good standards - IRate -
Brief segue showing more left-field electronic dance influence starting to creep in with this fun, but not necessary release. It's not one of their must own EP's, but at least B&S never seemed to exploit the format like so many others.
more perfection - Pat Kolodziej - chicago
the best band of my generation continue their brilliant work, five stars is never enough when it comes to the genius that is belle and sebastian.
