The Weed Tree is an album edit

I thought I should comment on the edits of this article claiming that The Weed Tree was an EP. Despite the numerous reviews (actually nearly every one I read) which claimed that the release was an EP, Greg Weeks states in this interview (linked to in the article) that "It's actually not an EP but a full length record". I don't know why it was considered an EP, possibly it was a label/band press release (though I can't find one) or possibly it was just critics unable to handle the fact that an album might only have 7 tracks. Since the best source I can find is Weeks himself, I reckoned he is probably also the most reliable. (I'm not sure what the actual official classification for the difference between albums and EPs is but just off the top of my head Is This It and Ramones are shorter and Ys is longer and has less tracks but all are considered albums.) --Thetriangleguy 15:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

actually i think the difference used to be EPs were 45rpm and LPs were 33.33. but i'm not sure. anyways, it hardly makes any difference now.
