Re: deadmau5 Book Club: Volume 11 - 4x4=12 (2010)

This is, from what I understand, widely considered to be deadmau5's "sellout album", which i'm not entirely sure I can fully agree with (for one, Kx5 is a thing). It's not a bad album in my opinion. "Some Chords" rules. That guitar sound is genuinely one of the greatest sounding things Joel's ever ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 10 - Quest For Fire (2023)

I remember being super hyped for QFF to come out. Even though I wasn't a huge fan of most of Skrillex's output during the drought, this was his first album in nearly a decade, so maybe he was saving the true bangers for an album. Turns out, this was kinda true (for the most part).

The album opens ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 9 - The Great Skrillex Drought (2016-2021)

Gonna just give some quick thoughts on these tracks since I don't have much to say about most of these:

Purple Lamborghini - Lowkey goes hard. Don't think its that controversial to say that this song is probably the best thing to come out of the suicide squad movie. Shoutout to the music video ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 8 - Jack Ü (2015)

According to legend, sometime in the first half of the 2010s, Sonny Moore was approached by a mysterious being. This being was none other than a demon from the ninth circle of hell whose true name sends chills down the spines of all mortals who hear it. This demon's name was Diplo, and he offered ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 7 - Recess Remixes EP & Ease My Mind v Ragga Bomb Remixes (2014)

As I stated in a previous installment of the Skrillex Book Club, many official remixes of Skrillex tunes pale in comparison to the originals. This is, of course, not typically the case when the remixer in question happens to be Sonny Moore himself. For these two remix EPs, that mostly holds true ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 6 - Recess (2014)


This has got to be one of the most 2014 albums to ever exist.


Wholeheartedly agree with this description. To add to that, there used to be a tie-in app for this that would tease songs from this album before it came out. Remember when everybody was jumping on the app bandwagon? Now thats a 2014 ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 6 - Recess (2014)

Finding out about this album's release was a huge deal for me. It was essentially shadow-dropped with little warning, and was Skrillex's debut album. In hindsight it was insane that Sonny was able to cause such a massive paradigm shift in the realms of both electronic and popular music years before ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 5 - Leaving EP (2013)

I remember when I first read the title of this EP and went "Why is it called Leaving? Is Skrillex quitting?!" and being genuinely worried for a little while (Spoilers: He didn't). Okay anecdote time's over lets talk about this thing.

"The Reason" is such a banger. The second drop and the buildup to ...

First became aware of Space Laces after he was featured on F*CK U SKRILLEX and he definitely makes the kind of music that my dubstep loving younger self would have been super into. In fact, this ...

Re: Skrillex Book Club: Volume 4 - Bangarang (2011)

This is the best Skrillex EP. I don't even have to put "so far" at the end of that because I know without a shadow of a doubt that this is one of his finest works ever. I first became aware of this EP when I heard the title track come up on his Pandora radio. Remember Pandora? Me neither. Anyways ...
