I enjoy it as a whole, there's clearly a lot of influence from his earlier work but slightly progressed too. Agree with this! Liking the EP on first listen, reminds me of his earlier work.

thanks for being a sarcy lil bitch Joined: 25 September 2007 Posts: 79,295 User: 4,397	the Gesaffelstein contribution is so tame I'm incredibly disappointed the whole thing is lacklustre ~~just like anything he's done since Trilogy~~

Brown cow, stunning! Joined: 7 December 2009 Posts: 67,184 User: 10,139	I really like that it's more like Trilogy, but I agree it still overall feels quite lacklustre. Call Out My Name is definitely my fave too! I'm really disappointed in the Gesaffelstein collabs too, I thought when I saw that he was gonna experiment a lot more and we'd get a huge banger from him, but you wouldn't know because it just has the same vibe as the others on the EP.

Gia, do you know the order of the solos? Joined: 24 October 2014 Posts: 39,366 User: 21,308	”Call Out My Name” Official Audio: rsEne1ZiQrk I’d say Call Out My Name sounds more like Earned It than anything

'I Was Never There' reminds me of a dark EDM track in terms of the haunting breakdown, yet there's tracks like 'Call Out My Name' which sounds like a more mature, refined version of something from Kiss Land. people need to realise he's not going for something cohesive or storytelling with this, it's a brilliant selection of tracks which showcases just how much he's matured as an artist regardless of how the records sound together as a whole

I don't disagree with anything in this point!
