0.0 didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | April 18th 21

Big Black is still trying their ground here. They're making baby steps towards what they'll eventually sound like. The EP is not very confident with the rowdy mess it shows, but there is a thread of nasty quality that would eventually follow the band deeper into their career. Still, the EP is rough around the edges (and not just there).

3.7 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | December 4th 20

Racer-X is that point in Big Black's early career where they wanted to come up with a massive and slick rock'n'roll sound. They did, this sometimes sounds like an indie take on mainstream 80s rock ("The Big Payback"). I can't believe Albini thinks this is too samey and monolithic. On the contrary, this is, to me, the work that creates the necessary impulse to go diving in the musical territories that will give birth to Atomizer.

4.5 superbCyan isn't a shade of blue. | May 3rd 14

This EP is the best thing Big Black has ever done (Songs About Fucking comes close) Seriously, more people
need to listen to this.
