Lil Lotus opens the EP with a cover of I Set My Friends On Fire's song Things That Rhyme With Orange, while ISMFOF cover Lil Lotus's Body Bag. But that second track has a twist: Body Bag already samples the Senses Fail track One Eight Seven. So suddenly, this isn't just a rock band covering a rapper -- it's a rock band covering a rapper sampling a different, similar rock band. The mind reels.
