 | I don't really like his first two EPs that much. The melodies are a bit too wonky.
 
 Although the second one isn't too bad.
 
 Give Lord Almighty Snares a run for his money? Doubt it.
 I'll have to check it out now though.

 | Well I was doubtful too having heard the first 2 eps. But I thought it was worth posting.

 | It's much more interesting to see an artist grow than to see them release a brilliant debut ep/album and then keep trying
 to reach that standard and failing more and more with each
 release, radiohead and oasis respectively.

 | oasis' first album really is a classic. Since then every album has got worse.
 
 I fear the same's gonna happen to The Strokes. They're never
 gonna live up to the expectations for the second album. The
 critics are gonna slay it.

 | emotional joystick is fantastic, but those three artists are nothing alike.

 | " this release is the logical next step, to ensure listening at the right speed"
 
 hahaha when i ripped the first EP i thought it was in 33
 instead of 45. i just figured his stuff was more chill. it
 sounds good anyways though

 | To me Zod are smallbear, they're little players. None of the stuff they've done has particularly blown me away.

 label, like I feel with Spezialmaterial.
