    The entire album is trying to be carried by the features because the production is just so empty and lifeless, people like to call skrillex a production god but he is not showing it making all these tracks with empty trap beats and 0 passion in them. There are a couple good songs carried by the collaborators but that's it.

    This album is just soulless. Cramming as many features as possible might carry it. There's a couple good songs (Personally I like Hydrate, Rumble, Tears, and Ratatat). Sonny could've done so much better for someone so acclaimed in the EDM world. This album while it has a few outliers, is about as consistent as tap water

    The tracks on Quest for Fire go for instant dancefloor gratification, but they're far more refined and nuanced than the brostep ragers that made Skrillex a household name in the early 2010s.

    Listening to the album feels like opening a time capsule to the early and mid-10s, a period marked by a cheesy, over-the-top hedonism that might only be truly understood if you survived the Great Recession and saw Obama become president twice. ... It's easier to get behind Quest For Fire when Moore's dubstep influences are subtler.

    Perhaps some of this record suffers from thin songwriting but the drops, so clearly the main attraction here, are characterful, razor-sharp and banging.
