    The joyfully unabashed massiveness of it all is what makes Big Black Delta such a promising prospect.

    Whether you define the resulting feeling as closure or weariness, the album leaves you with a lot to think about before hitting repeat.

    Knowingly nostalgic and highly polished, this rich debut contains retro-cool references but also chunky pop hooks. [Oct 2013, p.63]

    As it is, Big Black Delta offers more than its fair share of thrills, but there’s the sense it could be so much better if Bates didn’t feel the need to draw the line quite so clearly between his various projects.

    After exploring BBD, it seems the rest of Mellowdrone wasn’t needed for idea creation as much as containing and editing the various artistic notions generated by Bates.

Money Rain Down, The Zebrah and Side of the Road are all quite good too, but I honestly rarely feel like putting the whole thing on, I end up just skipping to Capsize, replaying that and then moving on to something else.

It has a lot variables to play with, yes for it does have maybe a problem with where to go from now on and i hope to hear from BBD very soon.
