mongrelism is an utter piece of shit. Refer back to Nega's singles dig and ill when I said that I don't understand why they need to include an instrumental track on a 3 track single? Well just double that here since it's basically the same, and if anything ScReW did it worse. It's an absolutely terrible introduction that does nothing to add from the album. Skip.
It's a no-brainer why the next track has a music video. KAIROS is the best track on the entire album hands down. It has catchy parts, a decent solo piece, a Byou that sings and doesn't mumble incoherent words, and musical composition. Compared to the rest of the single, I get the impression that this is the only track they spent time working on, which is quite sad because this track has the makings of a single in it and it's shoved in with all this shit. KAIROS has some flaws in it but overall it's good, and by the time you're done here you'll be wishing just decent was something this band could consistently achieve on this CD. A definite listen.
molder is underwhelming after KAIROS. It has some cool passages but it's marred by random noises issuing from Byou's voice, too much mumbling, and annoying noises from somewhere here and there. The piece after the second repeat of the chorus is nice so they really should have just cut there after the first time they sung the chorus and ended the song there. molder doesn't evolve at any time during the song and I get way too bored sometimes to finish it out, especially knowing what Byou's voice does at the end, which I think could have been done better but doesn't add any points to a just average track.
49 is worse than mongrelism. I have no idea why the title is the way it is and it's completely unnecessary. If I wanted drums blasting into my eardrum I could pick any other track on this CD and be accompanied with deafening music. This is just dull, and the sad part is these instrumentals are more listenable than some of the other tracks here. 49 is still shitty though.
self-injurious is perhaps a saving grace after 49, and it doesn't even mix with the previous track making 49's existence questionable. Perhaps the only other track worth a listen, if you're this far in you should listen just because the punishment is almost over. So much more could have been done with this track, but unlike half of this mini, it's listenable as is and doesn't feature unnecessary shit in the background. It also sports a killer riff and the chorus features some "ooo"s in the background that are slightly memorable.
HEEL is a great way to end a sub-par mini-album. It's absolute shit. Producing random noise without any melody is such a hard thing to do, and all the all the blabbering, yelling, whispering and talking made me want to cut off my balls and throw them at people. Byou should just stick to screaming the lyrics. Ironically, the best part of this track is when it stops halfway in, and so should you.
This mini-album really sucks, since they advertise six songs and only two are decent. I have not much more to say about this here. Just listen to the two songs I suggest and skip the rest and listen to something more pleasing. Two good tracks equals two earned out of five.

Yeah the only songs I really liked from Racial Mixture were KAIROS and Self-Injurious. I didn't mind molder though, but it's definitely not the first song I'd listen to. Good Reivew. :)
