If anyone had any doubts as to Relient K's staying power and diversity, this very lengthy collection of remixed songs, out-takes, EP tunes and just plain oddities ought to dispel them twice over. These 26 tunes run through gentle folk, rousing alt-rock, twanging alt-country, and even whimsical ska. The fact that some songs mention other bands -- Jefferson Airplane, Blood Sweat and Tears -- helps to make this sound like a compilation of various artists on first run-through. And while "At Least We Made It This Far" sounds like Death Cab For Cutie if Ben Gibbard could only stop being such a mope, the intense numbers like "The Last, The Lost, The Least" could be by no one else. The group's highly inventive, relentlessly (and restless) brand of alt-pop is what anchors all these songs. And with each successive listen, it becomes clear that what at first sounds like some crazy grab-bag might actually be one of their best albums to date.--Mike McGonigal
Product Description:
The Bird and the Bee Sides begins with a baker s dozen of original new tunes collected under the moniker of The Nashville Tennis EP. With all five members writing and taking turns on lead vocals, it's perhaps Relient K's most diverse effort to date, including Thiessen's alt-country At Least We Made It This Far, bassist John Warne s The Last, The Lost, The Least, which is explosive both sonically and in its social commentary, and new drummer Ethan Luck s punk rock reggae No Reaction, to name but a few highlights. As for the Bee Sides Relient K remixed and re-mastered 13 tracks, including an acoustic version of hit single Who I Am Hates Who I ve Been . There are also tunes from The Vinyl Countdown, The Employee Of The Month EP, The Creepy EP, The Apathetic EP and, as Thiessen puts it, a ton of other stuff that you can t even find on the internet at least not yet.

- More than just a good deal.
Relient K fans, do NOT pass this up just because it is an EP release. It is a good deal: twenty-six songs for nine dollars. But this is also a great release!
Remember the whimsical lyrics of "Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek" and "Two Lefts Don't Make a Right... But Three Do" for which you fell in love with them, and then imagine that combined with the excellently matured sound of their latest main release, "Five-Score and Seven Years Ago," and you're headed in the right direction.

- a whole lot for a whole little
so before i begin i will say that ive followed relient k since they first came to be and that i've always liked their music.
in this cd you do get a whole lot for a whole little.
26 tracks! for only 7.99 when i bought it. this cd a has a lot to offer. while there are a lot of tracks, however, many of these are very short and seem unplanned. it includes acuostic versions, (my favorite being be my escape) many songs that are new, and many songs that are on previous EP's that are very dificult ...

Rating: - Awesome CD
This CD is awesome. It is not what I expected from Relient K because it's not filled with catchy songs that make you want to dance about. The songs are unexpectedly good because they are very organic and the lyrics are heart-felt. Plus you get twice the amount of songs as a normal Relient K CD.
Rating: - Best One Yet
I can't ever imagine Relient K getting better than their latest CD and every time they come out with a new CD I am amazed that they have done it again.This CD is excellent and the alternate versions of previously heard songs are just as good.All Relient K fans, and even those who are not, need to go buy this CD today!
Rating: - LOVE IT!
Not only are there many RK songs on here that are new, there are a few that are acoustic remakes of some of their more popular songs, including "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been".You gotta love that!
