As such, deadmau5 became the sort of yin to my Skrillex yang, helping me appreciate the other end of the EDM spectrum. Intros longer than 50 seconds? Songs that build slowly over time, adding layers and layers of complexity? Basslines that aren’t just growls? This was a whole new world for me. This was my first introduction to progressive and electro house, opening up new doors and pathways for my musical tastes as a listener and producer.
BEST DEADMAU5 ALBUMS PLUS
Plus the transition to So There I Was is amazing.įLOABN is a bit overrated IMO, it's dragged down by its middle portion that sounds pretty filler until Soma kicks in.Over five installments of this Top 5, our music writer breaks down their top five albums of their grade nine year.Ĥ×4=12 comes in at a close second to my most formative albums ever. Also Arguru is in the top 3 deadmau5 songs for me. Progressive house at its finest, with songs like Brazil and Alone With You sounding like they haven't aged one bit. Home to several bangers like Mercedes and Terrors in My Head, and many lovely, pretty peaceful tracks like Pets and Silent Picture.īut RAT is obviously the king its continuous mix flows like water and even though I think by individual track, even 4x4=12 is better, the whole body of RAT just works so well.
If you can tell by my name, its opening track never fails to send chills down my spine. While(1<2) is phenomenal, and even if the second disk drags a touch bit too long, it never feels arduous despite its 25 track length. My favourite song here is Closer and it's not even that good. I like a decent number of songs there, but Sleepless and Take Care of the Proper Paperwork are mediocre and Failbait is perhaps one of the worst songs he's released.
Vexillology is last for the same reason that it’s last for everyone else here too many similar, long and repetitive tracks that, while mixed very well, don’t leave as much of an impression.Įven though I own the physical copy of ATGH it still feels like one of the most throwaway albums in Joel's discography. On one hand I love 4ware, Deus Ex Machina, Imaginary Friends, No Problem, Snowcone and Whelk Then, but on the other hand 2448, Cat Thruster and Let Go feel quite a bit underproduced. W:/2016ALBUM is the most polarizing for me.
Get Scraped, while I love the 90’s-infused hip hop and techno vibes and wish Joel would revisit them more, does feel significantly older and less polished than the majority of his newer stuff. Strobe makes up for the more forgettable ones like Word Problems and the always-skipped Nero Remix of Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff. FML, Bot, Soma, and The 16th Hour are fantastic, the last being my favorite on the Album. It’s a really nostalgic experience to go back 10 years in my life and listen to.įLoaBN is another one that I feel has lots of standout tracks that people seem to forget about. RAT was really close behind 4x4=12 because there really are no duds on this album. They make up for the two (obvious) tracks I don’t like as much. I don’t have quite as much of an emotional connection to 4x4=12, but it still has tons of standout tracks like Right This Second, I Said, Cthulhu Sleeps, and the more common ones are stellar as well. It’s the only one I’ll listen to straight through. While(1<2) I love throughout I love the second disk just as much as the first. I still love #8 quite a bit.Ītgh < came out at a really weird time in my life and it was almost exclusively the music I listened to, so for personal importance reasons, it’s first. That being said, the margin between these picks is incredibly small.
