0.0 Jeffery J. Bigglestein | June 28th 20

An excellently produced EP that features an interesting and unique combination of two very different artists. Nick Hexum of 311 features on vocals behind George Clanton's spacey and alt-house-esque beats. My only major complaints are Clanton limiting himself to just production and not making any vocal efforts, when he stood out in this category on Slide. This is further problematic due to Hexum's lyrical performance seeming improvised and a bit weak in certain areas.

3.0 goodthis is the best album that i\\\\\\\'ve (n)ever heard in my entire life. | June 15th 20

Instrumentally, this collaboration feels like a more genuine progression from 100% Electronica than Slide did - an album that felt a bit more like a side-step than a step forward. Unfortunately, pairing with 311 guitarist/singer Nick Hexum serves to the EPs detriment, with Hexum's vocal performances and lyrics bogging down the fantastic instrumentals. Hexum's presence is something that can just barely be ignored in favour of the otherwise gleeful product, but it's still a very unwelcome addition that provides very little other than a side-order of second-hand embarrassment.
