"Quantity Is Job 1" is the first and only EP of the band Five Iron Frenzy. It was released November 3, 1998 on Five Minute Walk. The album was the bands first release distributed by EMI, and most of it was written in a two-week period before being recorded.Musique, Sucre'. (1999). Interview with Reese Roper, from bandoppler.com. Now hosted at the Internet Archive. [http://web.archive.org/web/20010228173907/www.bandoppler.com/reeseint.html] ] Unlisted on the package are tracks nine through seventeen, which include both "These Are Not My Pants (The Rock Opera)" and a studio outtake. Douglas TenNapel created the artwork.

Lyrical themes addressed include unconditional love ("Dandelions"), the events in Denver after Super Bowl XXXII ("Get Your Riot Gear"),Interview with Five Iron Frenzy. (2001). From bandoppler.com. Now hosted at the Internet Archive. [http://web.archive.org/web/20001109183600/www.bandoppler.com/005fifFA.html] ] the constant rumors of the band's demise ("The Untimely Death of Brad"), and a reprise from 1 Thessalonians 5:21 ("All That is Good"). The album also contains a cover of ELOs "Sweet Talkin' Woman." Perhaps the most cryptic song is the opener "My Evil Plan to Save the World", which according to Reese Roper is about "all of us that have ever thought that our own small minds could come up with a plan greater and more perfect than God's." "Quantity" also contains examples of Five Irons' "edgy sarcastic humor." The eight tracks of the "Pants" sequence is a multi-genre "rock opera" about a pair of pants which has no apparent owner. The sequence, according to "Cross Rhythms", "actually IS more ridiculous than it sounds!", and has been called in other places "brilliance personified".
