Does anyone know what the deal was with the bonus EP specifically? Is it just that they didn't have room on the album to put those on as the opener/closer? Or was it recorded after the main album? Or? Why the need for a bonus EP? Might seem like a surprising question, but when I was asked about it, I thought no that's interesting. I don't know!
