Edit 12/26/2024 85 -> 87: Minor score change, nothing else happening here.

Finally got around to listening to this full mixtape and glad I did!

Compiling a bunch of essentially throwaway tracks from previous and future works that didn't feel fitting, Quadeca delivers a very solid mixtape that puts many larger artists to shame displaying much higher quality despite lacking huge attention grabbing names. There is a little bit of everything here so there is very likely to be something for anyone on this project. Some of the softer cuts like Dustcutter, Easier, and Guide Dog are among my favorite utilizing Quadeca's much more subdued vocals to lull the listener away. Then you have much higher energy songs like Even If I Tried, What's It To Him, and Guess Who? to strike a balance and keep the listener on their toes. Still a distance away from the quality of IDMTHY but enough to keep me thoroughly anticipating Quadeca's future album.
