While the arrangements are fantastic and fit perfectly with the original tracks, the production is extremely weak, which takes a lot of the quality away from the overall sound. The vocals are also pretty awful and out of tune, which is very odd considering Jake Snider usually does some great vocal work.

Minus The Bear's acoustic album offers a short, sweet and pleasant listen. Songs like "We Are Not A Football Team", "Knights", and "Pachuca Sunrise" all translate well onto acoustic guitars and slower drums. New song "Guns and Ammo" is another pleasant listen but doesn't bring anything too new to the table. Only complaint is Jake Snider's vocals fall flat towards the end on songs like "Burying Luck" and "Ice Monster". Overall a nice, short album.

Minus The Bear do it again, offering up a collection of their staple tracks (along with a brand new one) and giving them the acoustic once-over. Many of the tracks stay very true to the original arrangements, but considering that many of MTB's riffs are sampled/looped, the fact that it's all transcribed onto acoustic is pretty cool. Unlike many bands who just throw a few generic open chords together to make the "Acoustic Version", MTB go the Thrice route and re-arrange the songs, some with just enough subtleties ("Knights"), others a complete reworking ("Burying Luck", "Throwin' Shapes") to effectively make them sound fresh and new.
