The Cannonball EP is worth skipping for those who have the surprise hit Last Splash. The LP's "No Aloha" is re-recorded as "Cro-Aloha," and is more insane than the LP version, but no big deal. The cover or Aerosmith's "Lord of the Thighs" is the Breeders' low point, just as "Toys in the Attic" was R.E.M.'s. Not that Aerosmith inherently sucks, but these two songs sure do; this is neither funny (even with a woman ironically singing those BS lyrics), nor very good. Which leaves "900," a song Josephine Wiggs' gets a crack at writing/singing. It's nicely unnerving, but not much of a song.
