It comes punching out of the door from the very first moment. “No Obstacle” comes in quick and rolling, showing off edgy samples throughout. “Blackout” strikes hard with a D&B undercurrent that refuses to surrender, whilst “The Pendulum” chops together whirs and stomps for that low-end intensity.
“Battle Drums” is all about the marching percussion, and “Deuces” presents some vocals that momentarily flicker in to action. There is some suspense to “Rewind,” before the jagged “Lithium” brings the EP to a close.
