| 3.2 good | Erwann S. EMERITUS | May 27th 21 |
Sampling 90s R&B (eg Kelis and Aaliyah), James Blake applies dubstep minimalism and wonky over-the-top-ness in a) a great fashion in the title track, and, b) a not too great fashion because he tried to add too many elements, leaving the three other tracks as unfocused mixes of great ideas

Here's where James Blake's forward-thinking style of dubstep and garage began to realize its potential. The opener/title-track is a stunning mission statement, being not only the best track on the album and his most well-crafted song up until that point, but one of the cornerstones for this style of dubstep as a whole. The samples weave within each other seamlessly and even the slightest blip is important to the final product. It sounds calculated without sounding manufactured, and that's truly worthy of praise. Though the last three tracks don't quite meet the standard the opener set, they're still just as good, if not better, than most of the tracks he'd created before this EP. It's the first true realization of Blake's vision, and thus, it can't be missed by fans of the man.

A downtempo jazz influenced EP that is an easy listen.
