Can't make up my mind about the new Deadmau5 album

4 x 4 = 12 sounds like he just spent a day in the studio to do the whole thing. i know continuation is good in an album but for such a talented producer this just sounds like a standard set he made one day in the studio.

Don't get me wrong i like the dirty beats he's pounding out but i expected something different.

Anyone else?

I'm not getting this CD. I bought the last two, but this one seems so dull. nd you're right about the tracks...they do seem pretty rushed. His last two albums had much more variety.

I don't think you can really call it an album considering half of it has been out for over 6 months now. His track with Wolfgang was dissapointing as hell..

I think they're mostly fairly solid tracks, but very lacking in variety, which is disappointing. And even though I like the wubwubs, the dubstep isn't that great (though Raise Your Weapon has awesome vox). On the other hand, I'll probably still buy it - if for no other reason than I never bought the singles when they came out.

Dylan Klebold techno.

Everyone that opens up a topic about deadmau5 or Tiesto should be banned for life from trance forums.

I'd agree with you, but this thread is actually relevant. Though I doubt it'll stay that way for long.

It's called preemptively wanting to hate something so bad because it's popular that you fool yourself into thinking you actually do.

Deadmau5 is talented and anybody who denies that's an idiot. Even if you don't like his music saying he's "untalented" is a load of shit. It's like saying you think Jennifer Anniston is ugly because you think someone else is prettier.

Seandroid...

What makes a person an idiot for not liking deadmau5. Really, he's just another zitfaced pasty bedroom geek who happened to discover some unique fart bass sounds (which anyone can do these days) in fl studio and decided to market it all off with endless boredom in front of a few virtual synths and a ridiculous red helmet. Quit blowing smoke up his ass.

"It's called preemptively wanting to hate"

What?


Posted by xCTx on Dec-11-2010 06:59:

Right This Second is probably his best song on the album.

I didn't say you had to like him, I said you can't say he's untalented because that's just factually untrue.

And by preemptively wanting to hate something, I mean it's just like people who hate Apple products.

You can't "hate" them because they're good products, if you like Android phones it's impossible for you to HATE iPhones because they're way too similar. You can prefer one over the other but you can't hate it. The only reason people "hate" iPhones is the same reason people "hate" Deadmau5.

They want to hate them because they're popular, and they get some kind of personal satisfaction out of being the "cool indie kids who don't listen to popular music." It's no different than the hipsters that refuse to listen to anything on the radio because they're "sellouts."

If you don't like electro or progressive house then you won't like Deadmau5 and that's fine, but not liking a genre of music doesn't give you the right to act like the producer is horrible, untalented and rapes kittens, like some people on here do.

If you don't like him, that's your prerogative, but to ask people not to talk about him on a music discussion forum is ridiculous.

Sean is right. Deadmau5 is clearly talented at making shit music.

Similarily - just because you like him doesn't mean he's talented. What are these facts you speak of?

And let me just say I do not particularily like OR dislike him.

Hahaha. Somebody has to make shit so we can compare it to the good stuff.

He's obviously talented. And I don't like everything he makes, but I generally do like him. And he's awesome at sound design, he clearly understands music theory, his music is always extremely well mixed/mastered... Surely there are people that are more talented but that doesn't make him untalented, just like I said before, just because you think someone is prettier than Jennifer Anniston (Or whoever) doesn't make her ugly. That's factually UNTRUE.

He's TECHNICALLY talented. Regardless of whether you don't like his music or not calling him UNTALENTED is simply not true.

If someone doesn't like classical music and they think it's all shit does that make Bach untalented? HIM N HIS STUPID PLINKY PLONKY PIANO SOUNDS ITZ BULLSHAT

Again, just an opinion. Just like these so-called "haters" have. You were talking about facts.

How is that relevant in any way?

It's relevant because Bach is obviously talented and to call him untalented is factually untrue. Deadmau5 is obviously talented, listen to his music. Even if you don't like it it's well crafted, saying he's untalented is factually untrue...

And I already explained what I meant when I said obviously talented:

I know better than to enter deadmau5 threads. I really do.
