Archers of Loaf vs. The Greatest of All Time (often shortened to "Greatest of all Time" or simply GOAT) is the first EP by North Carolina indie rock band, Archers of Loaf. The EP was recorded shortly after their first album Icky Mettle, and the styles are very similar.
The cover art for the EP includes a photograph of former Toronto Maple Leafs star King Clancy.
Robert Christgau gave the EP an A- grade, writing of the band, "they sound like a live band ready to service a living audience, their gleeful anger felt rather than assumed." When asked if this remark meant the band had fooled Christgau, the band's frontman Eric Bachmann told CMJ New Music Monthly, "Yeah...it probably just means we're good at it." In 2012, Pitchfork Media's Paul Thompson wrote that the EP ranked "among indie rock's finest short-players", describing it as "17 utterly riveting minutes of bloodletting".
All songs written by Eric Bachmann, Eric Johnson, Matt Gentling and Mark Price.
"Freezing Point" and "Revenge" are also features on the The Speed of Cattle LP.
The song "Greatest of all Time" was not featured on this release but rather their second full length, Vee Vee.
