Enough Thunder is the fourth solo EP by English dubstep producer and singer-songwriter James Blake. The EP showcases more soul music than the experimental dubstep and electronic sounds of his self-titled debut album.
The EP contains a collaboration with Bon Iver and a Joni Mitchell cover.
The EP was bundled with the deluxe edition of Blake's self-titled debut album, as well as being a standalone release.
Reception
[edit]The EP received a 64/100 on Metacritic[2] indicating generally positive reviews. Entertainment Weekly's review stated that "The silky-voiced Brit's Bon Iver-assisted EP is lush enough to be played at a swanky restaurant, but it may be even better suited to an evening alone with a hard drink." Consequence of Sound's Mohammad Choudhery wrote of Blake, "he continues to grow into one of the most compelling musicians today." Pitchfork Media gave it a 6.4/10, commending Blake's "fighting [of] the good fight."
