Feb 2, 2017Fans will appreciate the new directions and there's enough on W:/2016ALBUM/ to introduce curious new listeners to the mutable world of the mau5.

Dec 8, 2016An album free from the shackles of a major label and its consequential rampant commercialism was always going to produce something that didn’t immediately pander to its keg fuelled audience. The surprise is just how well deadmau5 pulls it off.
-
Dec 6, 2016Tracks ebb and flow from style to style; they end abruptly, rather than pretending to blend seamlessly. This is an album, proper, and most definitely not a mix--and it's definitely not made just for a big-room dance floor.

Dec 12, 2016When it’s good, it’s usually something that sounds like the luscious, clinical opener 4ware, or cow-brained stomper Three Pound Chicken Wing. Otherwise there are too many generic pompous 70s-prog synths grafted on to basic beats.

Dec 6, 2016This might be far from a perfect album, but it’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

Dec 6, 2016While the album is far from his best work (the disjointed opening track is a strong first clue), it still merits a listen.

Dec 16, 2016Even on some of the stronger tracks, Zimmerman seems to be going through the motions.
-
Dec 6, 2016Nothing goes anywhere, and yet every song is so long. It’s painful.
