Paris Texas - They Left Me With the Sword + They Left Me With a Gun
Another pretty interesting pick from @lowkitz , and a pretty special one at that! I've discovered some pretty great albums through this thread (Some notable examples are When the Smoke Clears... and Different Class), and MID AIR has been one of my favorites. I really loved the energy throughout the record, and it's probably in my top 10 of all the records we've done. I haven't really kept up with any of the duo's work since, so this was a welcome pick. I think this is the first time that we've done a "two-pack", so I was initially a bit divided on scoring the EP's separately or together, but I ultimately decided to give them each a score, with a final definitive score for both.

They Left Me With the Sword
"Dogma 95" was a pretty good hype intro, and I like the change in energy with "Red Eyes & Blue Hearts". "Tantrum" was pretty d--- hype too. After a quick interlude, we get another b-----r in the form of "Holy Spinal Fluid". "infinyte" and "El Camino" close the EP off pretty well.

I think this is stellar. I loved every single song, and I have absolutely no complaints. The only "issue" I have is going to be elaborated on in the final summary, so I'll end this part here.
EP Score: 9/10

They Left Me With a Gun
"Superstar" is a great start right off the beat, and I honestly might prefer it over "Dogma 95". That hook is killer. "Twin Geeker" was good, but it's probably my least favorite song on both EP"s. "Stripper Song" and "Mudbone" are great. "H A L O" was awesome, and "No Strings" was a pretty good closer.

I think this tape was pretty good, with some great high points like "Superstar" and "H A L O", but as a whole, I think it's weaker than the first.
EP Score: 7.5/10

Full Summary
Similar to my experience with MID AIR, I had a great time with these two EP's. Although I haven't heard much, I've always liked the new Rap Rock albums that have come out recentyl (s/o Joey Valence and Brae!), and Paris Texas are awesome. My only real issue with these tapes has to be their length. As great as some of these songs are, I feel like they could've been even better if they were fleshed out more. I think that the second EP could've definitely used some more time to breathe. As a whole though, I had a great time with this these two projects, and big, BIG thanks to @lowkitz for the pick.
FAVORITES: Red Eyes and Blue Hearts, Tantrum, Holy Spinal Fluid, El Camino, H A L O
SCORE: 8/10
