If I never surface then it doesn't matter (3.5)
After Meg & Dia's fantastic debut, Something Real, I went in search of anything else they might've released independently. Enter, What Is It? A Fender Bender. Now I don't know if this was released before Something Real or after, either way, I came out disappointed.

Monster and Indiana are EXACTLY like their counterparts on SR. No no, not early demos, not acoustic, nothing. That was the buzzkill for me. By the time Indiana finished I didn't have any desire to continue listening. Yes, those are both great songs, and favorites of mine from the full-length, but give us something different on an EP! The other two, that aren't on that CD, are better treats though. What Are You Into? is performed acoustic featuring powerful vocals in the vein of, I guess Setting Up Sunday (maybe). Santa Barbara is also acoustic and actually sounds like they made it way before they got a record deal. So, automatically, it's the best song on here.

With everything bad I've said, it is still Meg & Dia, so you won't be wasting your money. These girls are tremendously talented and it's obvious in the short span of this four-track EP. Need more of a selling point? It's cheap. What more do you need?
