There are two aspects to consider about this EP: the first is that the sound is well-balanced, aggressive enough but filled with colorful and catchy melodies.
The second is that one cannot ignore that such a mix has now been widely overused in the electronic scene, and a pinch of originality would not have hurt.
In short, while the ability is there (proven by the debut on NeverSayDie), personality is lacking, and the result is a product that works (and quite well) but which, in a few years, no one will remember, except perhaps for the only truly noteworthy moment: the explosive finale of "Game Time", a sort of frantic and unstoppable drum-step.
In the hope that Zomboy will start from there for a future album that is less trendy but more interesting, and that he will work to carve out his own space as a protagonist rather than continue to idle in the shadow of Skrillex or others, three stars.
