When I original reviewed this EP most of the comments were about how Mice Feel Nice (In My Room) is nothing short of a masterpiece. I still think it is just cool how different songs resonate with fans, and to me, who does not get the love for that song, it still makes me happy to know others enjoy it so much. I was also surprised that I didn't include Kiss Only the Important Ones since I think it is pretty good nowadays...
Dodging Invisible Rays is an excellent Sprout song that must have been left off of Alien Lanes to keep the Pollard/Sprout mix at a certain level, but is otherwise as good as his tracks on that album. The real big draw on Tigerbomb of course is the high-fidelity and spiffy production versions of My Valuable Hunting Knife and Game of pricks. Here is the updated ranking:
Among Bob's Best
01 My Valuable Hunting Knife [7" Version]
02 Game of Pricks [7" Version]
Gems
Gems
-- none
Almost Gems
05 Kiss Only the Important Ones
06 Dodging Invisible Rays
They're Good
They're OK
-- none

04 Not Good for the Mechanism
Could Live Without
03 Mice Feel Nice (In My Room)
Toss-Offs & Throwaways

Given the scoring above, the album would get 23 points total (and an average of 3.83).
