deadmau5 truly is the "gatekeeper" of electronic music as Richie Hawtin said, 'cause his music is just the perfect inbetween for EDM kids and Underground lovers. He is not commercial but he takes a simple or mainstream idea and produces it within a 6-10 min progression with no Pop star vocals with a beautiful sense of melody and underground mixing that makes him such a genius and rarity in the industry given his popularity these days.

@John Damage Often the best and most revered things are the more simpler things. Just because it has simple components, it doesn't mean it can't be a masterwork. Besides, opinions differ, what you may view as 'alright' might be seen by another as 'godly', and vice-versa.

When this album came out, I was disappointed because it wasn't what I had expected, having gotten into house music through Daft Punk and Deadmau5 only a couple years before. I hadn't become familiar with underground or darker house yet and I was expecting everything to be a little more close to pop. Now that I have listened and enjoyed this album for about 5 years, I can say there was no true disappointment here, only growth and change. But that's the way it always goes. We become invested in an artist and learn everything about all of their most popular work, and even dig into some of their oldest stuff. Then when we hear they are putting out their first album since you started following them, we set all these strange expectations. I love that Joel breaks them all with every release. I loved while 1<2. A lot of people complained over that one too. They say some things are an acquired taste. I think it is more like an acquired emotion. I became completely infatuated with that white album while I was in a dark place personally and then I started to research the behind the scenes stuff and discovered that Joel was also struggling when he composed and produced that album. When you change from sympathy to empathy. THAT is when you acquire the taste. Not trying to type like a gatekeeping neckbeard here, I just wanted to share my experience because it touched me so much over the last few years. Thx for reading :)
Matthew Lee
Wow, nice mini essay! Very detailed and well worded!
Ferrichrome
I think this album has gotten better over time. at first, this was my least favorite mau5 album, I felt like this one was more of a collection of random tracks. compared to his earlier works which all had a similar style to them, this one spans many different moods which is nice. also all the songs on this album are bangers. i definitely think it's worth a spot in anyone's collection!
E. Abc
Yeah, the album was different at the first time. But after a couple weeks it actually was quite interesting. I only knew the basic tracks before(like Aural psynapse, strobe, some chords,...) I think "let go" was one of the most popular tracks of that album. I also remember when it came out.
Vhan Louie Bulanadi
What I don't understand: Deadmau5 is a great EDM artist with pure talent and yet he has never won a fucking Grammy, like holy fucking shit, why do the "bullcrap" made artists get to win and those who really have genuine talents (like deadmau5) and worked their asses off all day and all night just to come up with a fucking banger are always bummed and snubbed at for no reason. That pisses me off, like literally.
alex_mountainbiker_dude
winning a grammy doesn't say shit about how good your music is, don't know where you got that idea that it does.....
FX
Awards like that dont mean anything. World would be a different place if everything was fair
SinGfax
Not many understand music or feel it, they vibe on noise and can't apreciate real music that warm your heart and soul...
Kiekz369
A lot of his stuff was Nominated from like 2009-2014 but yeah i dunno he was really was snubbed. seems to me that so many tracks of his should of been winners. Strobe is just miles ahead of most producers best tracks still to this day yet no award yet Skrillex won in 2010 or 2011 soon as he appeared just seems like they award the more Popular

I'm gonna be 55 in a couple days. Just found Skrillex, Knife Party, and Deadmau5 it's really growing on Me as well. One thing I thank my parents for is the Love for all kinds of music. I can go from 50s music to Hair Metal, Rap Rock and to EDM music. I love this music cranked up with the huge house speakers thumping the walls, lol I can even fall asleep with it cranked. No matter what age or where we come from We can all agree Music is LIFE!!!
