    Covering so much ground (‘Hydrate’ even bridges dubstep and reggae) means the album lacks a clear narrative or overarching theme.

    An eclectic grab-bag of ideas that achieve varying degrees of success. When it hits the mark, you can understand why pop stars and left-field figures alike have been drawn into Skrillex’s orbit. But taken in one dose, it’s alternately exhilarating, frustrating and a little exhausting.

    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.

    A very good album with a lot of experimental sounds, makes it feel like an old skrillex but with more knowledge about music

    It takes the meme out of dubstep while pushing the genre forward in an exciting direction.

    For me one of the best albums ever made. The pandemic may have impacted the launch plans... Skrillex is the real GOAT
