    These are two-minute tracks that largely veer all over the place – cohesion, concept, and artistry go out the window here.

    It’s ... not good. A haze of half-gestures and amateur missteps. A deflated balloon. The songs end quickly, as if embarrassed. Apart from the nonsensical yet warm electro-trap song “Panini,” none of the new tracks display even a stray ember of creative curiosity.

    Producer: What kind of beat you want?
    Lil Nas X: Yes
    In all seriousness this album is a mess of ideas and songs. Old Town Road is what it

    In all seriousness this album is a mess of ideas and songs. Old Town Road is what it is. Panini is the only song that really hit with me, short and to the point. Songs like F9mily and C7osure stand out, but not in the good way. Is this a rap EP or what? I get that's he's a young artist that is experimenting, but when even your EP has no direction, I can only hope he can be better at finding a direction for an album.

    Old Town Road (remix) 8/10 this is a fun track, beat is good and both lil nas x and Billy Ray Cyrus do an amazing job for a fun track.
    Panini
    Old Town Road (remix) 8/10 this is a fun track, beat is good and both lil nas x and Billy Ray Cyrus do an amazing job for a fun track.
    Panini 7.5/10 the beat is really weird but it works and nas x does a great job with it.
    F9mily (You & Me) 5/10 it has a nice beat but nothing interesting i just skipped after a minute.
    Kick It 5.5/10 the beat is great in some points but at most of the time it sucks and nas x autotune delivery doesn't work here.
    Rodeo 7/10 beat is good nas x does a good job and cardi does a good job too here but not as much as nas x.
    Bring U Down 4/10 not really interesting really made me want to skip.
    C7osure (You Like) 7/10 the beat is really good and nas x delivery is good.
    Old Town Road 7/10 this is almost good as the remix but Billy adds a lot.
    overall 6.4 a lot better then i expected and it is pretty good.
