Looking Back/Looking Forward: Deadmau5


Recently, Canadian DJ, Deadmau5, (Joel Zimmerman) has announced that he will be releasing another new album some time in 2011. This news comes just two months after the release of his 3rd studio album, 4x4=12. So, you have the new album to look forward to, but there is some bad news. Zimmerman has also said that he won't be releasing any singles between now and the time his new album drops. I guess were all just going to have to wait a little bit to hear some new Mau5.

I have decided that even though the album came out two months ago, and I'm sure most have you guys have heard it all at this point, I'm going to post all the songs with my personal ratings and comments. Overall, I don't personally like 4x4=12 as much as his previous 2 albums, but I do still like it, especially his experimentation with dubstep in a few of the tracks. I give the album an overall 4 stars...here are all of the tracks.

Some Chords - Deadmau5 - 5 stars - probably my favorite song on the album, all 7 minutes are insane

Sofi Needs a Ladder - Deadmau5 - 4 stars - good vocals, insane bass

City in Florida - Deadmau5 - 4 stars - sick bass, plays around with some dubstep

Bad Selection - Deadmau5 - 3 stars - kind of boring, nothing special

Animal Rights - Deadmaus & Wolfgang Gartner - 4 stars - love gartner, two djs styles work very well together

I Said (Michael Woods Remix) - Deadmau5 & Chris Lake - 4 stars - classic deadmau5 sound with some great woods stuff thrown in

Cthulhu Sleeps - Deadmau5 - 4 stars - very long into, captivating rhythm

Right This Second - Deadmau5 - 5 stars - want to see this track played live SO bad, reminds me of old deadmau5, ridiculous bass

Raise Your Weapon - Deadmau5 - 4 stars - dubstep, chilling vocals

One Trick Pony - Deadmau5 - 3 stars - dubstep, boring vocals

Everything Before - Deadmau5 - 2 stars - probably the worst song on the album, boring

cheers,
-Holden
