Sep 26, 2012Flying in the face of his public persona, this is a sprawling (could be tighter) and humble (could be more persuasive) Deadmau5 album and one best suited for established fans.
-
Sep 26, 2012Right now, for all its impressive fireworks, it feels hollow as its title.
-
Sep 27, 2012His house-derived grooves don't have a lot of the swing and soul that older heads crave, but they're also not nearly as heavy-handed and macho as his haters claim.
-
Oct 10, 2012Though it doesn't strike me as having the longevity of Random Album Title or 4x4=12, it's nonetheless worth the price of admission.

Q MagazineOct 23, 2012To a saucer-eyed teenager with a head full of pills stood amidst Deadmau5's immersive, impressive son-ET-lumiere experience, watching everything "going right off," it'll probably sound amazing. Maybe the rest of us should just wait outside in the car until the show's over. [Nov 2012, p.105]

Sep 26, 2012Deadmau5 brings a love of spectacle--and the humor of a natural ham--to his strobe-lit club anthems.

Oct 10, 2012At his best - "The Veldt," "Closer," and "Channel 42," which has a nice, Cameo-like wah-funk wiggle - Deadmau5 is a topflight roots-of-EDM mimic. At his worst, he's a troll.

Oct 2, 2012Album Title Goes Here is simply, and honestly, a pointless release, a record designed for two very different crowds, yet lacking the ammunition to even moderately please anyone.
-
Sep 26, 2012It's derivative, cliched and gives the impression of having been made by someone who's never danced in their life, but in a purely technical sense, it's extremely well produced, punchy, powerful, with a strong grasp of dynamics and occasional flashes of a deft melodic touch.
