This EP offers listeners the bonus tracks from the deluxe version of "Cry Baby," plus her
holiday song "Gingerbread Man." The tracks are sure to please those who are already fans of
her warped-music-box sound and reuse of children's items as symbols of heartbreak and pain,
though it's unlikely that the EP will earn her any new fans.
The highlights, "Cake" and "Play Date," sound more dancefloor-ready than most of her tunes,
while "Teddy Bear," whose lyrics appear to tell the tale of a stalker, comes off more
sinister and demented than interesting. A must-have for Martinez fans; best ignored by
everyone else.
