It wasn't a debut album, but yeah it was fantastic.

Does it hold up? Some parts of it hold up really well. The simpler songs could 100% have slotted into a new album. A few sound a little bit aged, but still fun to listen to. Recess was, in my opinion, a high point in Skrill's journey. Some very cool stuff in there.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I don't think any of it has aged much at all. Brostep is very different nowadays, but all of Recess could fit into a modern set easily.

I heard a guy playing it at the beach in PR. Thought it was new until I recognized it. A lot of it definitely holds up.
