Review Summary: Half good, half meh, all free.
Free EPs are always nice, but some are better than others. Case in point: Alvin Risk's free "Junkfood" EP, which is...somewhere in the middle.
"Zoom!" starts off the EP with a bit of electro house. The way the drops slowly rise in tension is something you don't hear very often, and the departure from the typical electro house intro-build-drop-build-drop template is a nice touch.
"Put 'Em Up" features Jason Butler from letlive., which adds an interesting energy to the buildups, but the drops sound like they've been completely sampled from other songs. This particular dubstep cut is nothing you've never heard before.
"Tr0nce" is just...I don't know. It tries to be creepy drum and bass, but it only ends up being hard on the ears and very annoying. There's no melody whatsoever.
"Wash Dat", on the other hand, is a guilty pleasure of mine. It hits hard, and it's not really anything you haven't heard before (similar to Put 'Em Up) but something about the drop just makes this reviewer want to get up and start raging.
So as a whole, the EP has one really good song, one okay song, one mediocre song, and one bad song. If it wasn't free, it'd be a 2.5.
