Picked this up a while ago - actually, picked this up on launch, got part way through to Closer and then went off and picked up Disasterpeace's Fez soundtrack. It's taken me a while to get through the whole thing a few times, and digest it. First impressions were that there were few striking pieces - except obvious singles Veldt and Professional Griefers.
It takes a while for the album to start; it picks up with Veldt, and hits its stride with Professional Griefers. Mid-album, Maths, There Might Be Coffee, and Closer, are all good tracks that keep pace, keep it going. For me, the album closes with Sleepless - there is little wrong with Failbait and Telemiscommunications per se, but they aren't as memorable, and serve more as a denouement; which is actually kinda cool.
There is a lot of hype around Deadmau5, and not entirely undeserved, but unfortunately it tends to warp expectations. I think i was expecting something great, something that would blo me off my feet, and sure enough, I was setting myself up for disappointment. I wasn't blown away by "album title", but it's actually a good album.
If you're an eclectic music collector like myself it's worth the investment - Deadmau5 is always good to throw on.
