This is really the "Lazarus" single (radio edit) with two non-album tracks. So we get 15 minutes of PT music.

"Lazarus" is a beautiful song with gorgeous piano melodies. I must admit it's probably my least favourite from "Deadwing" mostly because i'm tired of it. Great ballad anyway. "So Called Friend" is what makes this EP worth getting. It's heavy with some nice crisp drumming from Harrison. A good driving song that would have fit nicely on "Deadwing". Killer track ! "Half-Light" is good but doesn't click with me like the previous song. It opens with water and nature sounds as the organ builds. Lots of atmosphere early. Piano and reserved vocals come in. Light drums before 4 minutes. It continues to build slowly. Cool track.

So not essential by any means but those two non-album tracks make it worthwhile.
