I know I'm rating this the same score as the original release of piss in the wind. but I mostly gave it that score because it was my first listen reaction. This has the same energy as the original but feels much more energetic with the deluxe. Obviously I'll say that beautiful is definitely the weakest link here for this deluxe but everything else is pretty good from here.

This being my first full review for Malcolm Todd's music I'll say Do That Again thrives by elevating Malcolm Todd's signature DIY bedroom pop into a slick, major label backed masterpiece without losing his relatable charm.

Trading polished commercial appeal for the dusty, soul sampled atmosphere reminiscent of You Only Die 1nce, the EP provides the ultimate canvas for Freddie's elite pen game. Even with a noticeably weathered, tour-rasped delivery, he turns that vocal grit into an advantage, executing flawless breath control and rapid fire pocket shifts. It is a ... read more
