Safe Ep...Really Enhanced!
When i say ENHANCED. Kittie has enhanced with their overall sound and their overall style. Kittie has become their own with the edition of Jennifer Arroyo (Who replaced Talena Atfield in March 2002). The Safe Remix ix amazing. The live tracks are what i bought it for. Jennifer's bass lines are amazing. You can hear her play in every song and it sounds SO GOOD!! Morgan's voice isnt all that great on the live tracks while singing..but when she is screaming she sounds as vicious as ever. "No Name" is extremley fast and "What I Always Wanted" sounds amazing sped up!All in all, this is probley the best cd i have heard come from them. The live tracks are amazing, the Safe Remix is amazing, and the bonus video footage is a MUST for any hardcore kittie fan! Believe me..i have 3 copies of this cd. Go out and get it!

Kittie; "Safe EP"
Mmmkay! Well here we have the "Safe EP" by the excellent band Kittie.I'll do a song breakdown review thingy."Safe [KMFDM Inc. Remix]" - Okay so this remix isn't BAD but it's not GOOD. It's VERY industrial and it's very...Electronic. No instruments or anything, just computerised really. I can't say anything negative about this remix, but nothing positive either. 6/10"Safe [Radio Edit]" - Exactly the same as the album version except it features a sudden ending instead of the breakdown featured on "Oracle". They cut about 20 seconds off the song and that's literally it. Because of the lack of creativity with the radio edit and it's pretty much the same on the "Oracle" album, I'm giving it the same rating as on "Oracle"... 6/10"No Name [Live]" - This is a good recording. Morgan's growling is very good. This is more hardcore than on the album! 8/10"Severed [Live]" - This is by FAR my favourite live track featured on this CD! Morgan's growling is awesome! I LOVE THIS LIVE TRACK! 10/10"What I Always Wanted [Live]" - Okay from this song forward the CD goes completely downhill. This is probably my favourite song off "Oracle", but here Jennifer is singing and Jeff is growling with Morgan doing back up growling. To be honest, this live track is disgusting. Jennifer makes horrible noises when attempting to sing, and another reviewer described it quite well when (s)he said she sounds like she's trying to give birth to a dolphin out of her nose! This live track makes me sick. Jennifer should keep her mouth shut if that's the standard of singing voice she's capable of. Now with Lisa in the band, I hope signing vocals will be done by her on tour. I've never heard Lisa sing, but I'm certain she's better. Oh, and Jennifer's bass on this song has MELODY?! She's playing the song how SHE wants it. Basically this song sounds nothing like the original on "Oracle" because of Jennifer. Jennifer cannot sing and she's not even capable of playing a 3-chord bass line without screwing it up. I don't even play bass and I can play that song! Oh Talena, where art thou? 4/10"In Winter [Live]" - Jennifer opening her noisy mouth again. If she's not capable of creating tolerable sounds with her voice, they should have hired some singer thing or changed the songs slightly so Morgan could sing and growl. JENNIFER SHUT UP! AGAIN, where the hell is Talena?! In theory Morgan could have sang this song because there's barely any growling but NO they had to have Jennifer do it. 4/10"Pain [Live]" - This song starts off VERY good until they get to the "you deserve nothing at all" part purely because Jennifer decides to make noises again. Seriously, if their live performances are going to be destroyed by Jennifer then I'm going to lose interest very quickly. She cannot sing. I'd give her credit for being a good bassist, because she is but she...changes songs to suit her.As for the live videos on the CD. The live songs are "Mouthful of Poison", "Charlotte" and "Wolves"...They're good live tracks, but recorded with poor film. They're definitely watchable and I even burned mine to a VCD so I can watch them on my TV.So basically, if you think you can tolerate Jennifer's singing then go for it...Buy this EP! I have warned you that she sounds terrible but hey if you think you're man enough for Jennifer's voice box!I like this EP, but I tend to not listen to the last 3 tracks.Kittie are my favourite band without a doubt I love them so much, so of course I'm going to buy all their CDs, but I don't find myself listening to this very often.

Kittie Continue to Grow In the World Of Goth Metal !!!
"The Safe EP," is an amazing piece of work. It is a powerful step up for the Canadian rockers, featuring 5 live tracks as well as 2 different mixes of "Safe." This cd displays Kittie at thier best and captures the intensity of their live performances. I love this cd and I love this band, rock on.

Good For What It Is
With the release of Kittie's single for "Safe" comes a lot of good and bad. The song itself is a great song that brings back the old school dark and slow vibe to Kittie. Though the original version is not on this (it only has a radio edit and a remix), the tracks are very good none the less. "Safe"'s remix, done by industrial metal gods KMFDM, brings out a side of the track that most did not know existed (me included), and takes us back to the days when KMFDM were the reigning kings of German industrial. The radio edit is just that, a shorter edit, nothing really speical. The other five tracks on the album - "No Name", "Severed", "What I Always Wanted", "In Winter", and "Pain" - are all on their last full length "Oracle". Though the songs are very good (the best being "What I Always Wanted"), something new, unreleased, or remixed would have helped out. Still, they live tracks are amazing. They catch the pure sonic fury that Kittie exhibits when they play live. The single itself is great for people who are diehard Kittie fans (which I am proud to say I am), do not have "Oracle" yet, or want a great remix, but other than that, it is pointless. This is still a solid single with some great tracks.

Safe is great, the rest lacks something
The industrial remix is awsome, I loved it...the radio edit, well it's the same as the album, almost, but not as good and so it loses points...Safe was my favorite track of Oricle so I had to get this...now heres the problem...as I said in my title...the rest of the CD, the live songs, lack something and that somthing is Talena, Kittie's first bass player. Jennifer is NO Talena and that is sad because Talena could sing and she could play bass and this new girl can do neither...KITTIE, heres a word of advise...BEG TALENA AND FALON TO COME BACK! YOU NEED THEM...

Don't buy Oracle or Safe
Both Oracle and Safe are horrendous. "Spit", their debut album with Talena Atfield and Fallon Bowman best captured the raw energy of the band. The Paperdool EP is also good. Anything after that is junk without melody, just noises and screams. I don't recomend this CD, it really stinks. Sorry guys, you lost your fan base and your way once Talena and Fallon left the band. Kittie as a viable group is dead.

Worth a listen.
Arrived in good condition and pleased with it. Would recommend it for any Kittie fan.
