    No one can say that Baauer doesn't evolve from the classic but formulaic bangers to an elaborate and eclectic music trip.

    One of the kings of the genre returning with a revitalized and forward thinking album, not stuck in the past with tired genre elements. Almost sounds like a mix of Jamie xx and TNGHT. Fresh bangers. Love it

    With Planet's Mad, Baauer charts a journey that elicits emotion through physical response, channeling rage and frustration through his songs in a cathartic release that plays like musical therapy for a galaxy's worth of ills.

    Planet’s Mad careens through its bungled cyber narrative, tingling and whirring, daring you not to take it seriously. The planet warms, the pop stars reel, and we’re still trying to dance.

    By taking dubstep’s ideas and expanding them, one of the icons of that half-beloved, half-derided era has made a kind of a time capsule; granting longevity to an era of music which had liberation at its heart.
