Really didn't enjoy this one a huge amount, which really hurts me to say. I did enjoy the title track ENOUGH to throw it on some playlists though.

People been getting so mad at me for saying anything since ascension rite was rushed and mid peanut butter was pretty good anything else recycled

Like I've listened through this EP a couple of times now and imma be brutally honest, I don't understand it. Like there's no EP value here, it feels like he just hand picked 3 random tracks from his ID list and just said yeah fuck it this is an EP. There's NOTHING special about any of these 3 tunes like, at all. Really disappointed ngl.

🔥🔥🔥

I've been dissapointed with the songs he's been releasing lately, I think the last one I really enjoyed was sinews and then he went overboard with the recycled ideas, repetition of the same structure/sounds and bad mixing, he took a path of quantity before quality that I don't like :(

And people on reddit will still bash me for saying Mastadon era >>>> Marauda era

Sounds like Doom eternal when your guns are running out of ammo

I can't help but think about all his unreleased stuff. It's honestly underwhelming to know he could do way better but instead sticks to his usual sound and doesn't branch out with something new or at least a little different. Then again he has stated before he is scared to release stuff like that cause he doesn't know if it's good for him and if people will like them. Which is crazy cause everyone is literally wanting that rn

Jorei's remix of Galumph is smthn acc worth listening to

Short tracks, god awful mixing, garbage build ups and sounds just take 30 seconds to make....its just lazy producing as is most of this Riddim genre. All these songs sound exactly the same as 1000 other songs that are out right now. Same pattern, same rhythm, same sounds. This genre needs to reinvent istself. Not trying to hate, but its time to switch it up

he cuts off the drop in primal phantom & that marauda song vip with the exact same drum fill in both songs, i feel like his drops are great but im getting tired of every song of his being roughly 2 mins long, with the same intro and buildup, a short but great drop, another buildup copy & pasted and then another drop that maybe has a few variations and its over...and not to mention galumph being in mono for some of it and stereo for others, its happened before with nefarious if i remember correctly? its a shame, i feel like they always have the potential to be so good but not there

I mean it’s not toooooo bad. I like some of the ideas for the drops, but I’ve definitely heard better from him. Not bad, but not necessarily amazing either

the mixing on this one was awful

"Galumph" is like "Instrument of the Raider" 's alter ego

🔥🔥🔥

Pretty disappointing imo and I don't say that very often

🤔 What are you guys making of ‘Primal Phantom’? Patreon link in description! 👆

Fairly disappointed with this EP to be honest, the mixing is all over the place and the ideas are stuff we've heard before.

I’m rewatching this live reaction and the comments are cracking me the hell up 🤣🤣 please don’t ever torture yourself like this ever again Connor

Keep covering albums like this!

this title now belongs to kuatari

So grateful you reviewed this man! Nice to see that you appear moved in too. You certainly said a lot of similar things that I thought. I do also think it is compilation like, but the way he arranged the songs feels pretty intentional and I’m not surprised he finished with dnb as he and Dom Dolla have ended their sets with dnb during their recent festival rounds. I definitely see the Deadmau5 and Kaskade inspiration with how he recruited Hayla to become a key collaborator with his biggest songs. What sets John Summit apart from some of the others that have collaborated with her is that he maximizes her vocals with the relationship to the synths as well as her vocal range such as with her humming. The thing I admire most about the album is how much John Summit showcases his love for different forms of dance music. The Of The Trees collab is my favorite of the new ones for now because of the venture in the new style and its execution. Your perspective on the Elderbrook collab regarding how it melds his two styles is something that I will be thinking about the more I listen to the album. I look forward to seeing more of your videos again!

Love that you covered this. Would love to head your way cover that Joyryde album

i've been listening to dubstep since around 2016 and imo this is the most cohesive, creative and interesting to listen to bass music LP i've ever heard, maybe only second to space laces' vaultage ones

Dude when I heard the intro I said the exact same. Almost an exact chord progression

Just enjoy the album! 🥹🙌

apex and virus would definitely be higher on my list but i 100% agree with you about onyx, decimate was the only song that i was excited about. almost every song in onyx has a boring quarter note ryhtym too which i cant stand

this is the worst "dubstep" thing that I ever heard on my entire life lol

you know it's good when Connor says that every drop is the best

Lapse is a masterpiece.

All made in Bitwig.

Boombox cartel remix is just 💥🔥🤯

CASTLES 💜💜💜

Another great video as always! Something I’d recommend is SCARING THE HOES by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown. Even though it is a rap album, it has a distinctive EDM production style to it. You should definitely do a video on it.

I loved boss mode

someone commenting “svdden death giving marshmello full metal production” didn’t even think about that… so sick

i love syzy he's a very agood producer he has potential

Dont think ive heard someone use nested tuplits like this ever

Take my energy! is definitely my favourite Pretty cool album, not 100% my taste but some very nice moments definitely

maybe cover the new Saka EP 🤔

electronic AOTY, possibly AOTY as a whole. not overhyped in any way imo

Glad ur back! I haven’t been a big fan of Syzy’s other works (on NSD and black label) but I must admit I enjoyed this LP a lot! Edit: R u gonna react to the Nosphere EP?

Dope1s skrillexy vibe is definitely olswels doing, his music is almost nostalgic with the 2010 sounds

EP of the year, I don't want to listen to any other candidates
