I've never been a big fan of the
EP, then I heard this one. The first time I ever laid ears on David Bazan's
voice I knew that there was something different about him. I had never heard
Christianity put from an artistic perpective and yet so personal. On "Fix",
the temptations of using cocaine are mentions and how he wants to break free.
This isn't a concept album but it surly could be considered one. And what
would the theme be you may ask? Searching. Bazan is definantly searching
for grace and peace. He finds it on his albums to follow

(If you've read any of my other PTL
reviews, you'll notice I rate them all 10's...that's because I'm a PTL ADDICT,
and these songs are my drug.)
Speaking of drugs, this album is viewed by many as a concept album revolving
around heroine addiction. While it may seem like that on the surface, this
cd is really about David Bazan seeking out the Truth. "Almost There" was
written right before he accepted Jesus as his savior. And hearing this song
live...with his voice raging and straining at the end...{{shivers going down
my spine}}...wow...you can just sense that something amazing and life-changing
is happening...and it is.

The first concept album from David
Bazan, the Whole ep was originally put into production and distributed by
Tooth and Nail records. What it spawned was legions of fans in the indie
rock arena around the country who loved the storyplot lyrics and somber music
that Pedro the Lion used to convey messages of redemption and life trying
to discover more about life and God. It remains today a masterpiece of an
album, a must-have for any fan or curious bystander that wants to find out
what sells out shows across the country tour after tour. Get it before the
new Pedro cd comes out later this year, being recorded now by Aaron Sprinkle
at the Compound in Seattle.
