Having said that, there are some specific enjoyable moments on the disc. "Free World" has a nice groove to it that sounds like it could have come from Arcade Fire's Funeral, and it's the EP's finest moment. The listener would hope Water & Bodies moves in this direction in recording their full-length, as it suits them well. But at the same time the Portugal. The Man vocals that cover the groove take you right out of it; Christopher Ruff has not yet grown into a distinguished vocalist (hint � don't go for such a high register.)

This EP will be a hit-or-miss, split straight down the middle. It's by no means awful, but it's by no means good either. Water & Bodies are a new group looking to find their sound, and as such, this EP is a foot in the door. We'll have to see what they follow it up with � hopefully something a bit more ambitious.
