  4. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

  7. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Ostentatiously big and frequently clever. Print edition only

  8. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

  12. 6.0 |   The 405

    More than one track feels like a throwaway beat with barely discernible progression and those trademark pitch bent vocals frequently employed seemingly in the absence of any better idea
