Deadmau5's new album, 4x4=12 leaked about a week ago and its all I've been listening to. Sorry, I didn't blog about it sooner but I wanted to be fair to the artist and write about it the day it gets released in the US.
It is of course unbelievably epic. He experiments with a lot of styles from electro-funkiness on Animal Rights with Wolfgang Gartner, to dubstep on a few tracks, to trance (I Said), and of course house and progessive. But, it still all has that distinctive Deadmau5 sound.There are so many moments on this album that make you think "How is this amazingness even possible?" it defies any sort of reason.
The angsty dubstep ballad, "Raise Your Weapon," is one of the most rawly emotional songs I've ever heard and it is completely breathtaking-- a definite must-hear. There are two raver-raps with female hip-hopper SOFI-- One Trick Pony and Sofi Needs a Ladder-- and they are great because SOFI's frustrated rants match perfectly with the Mau5's fat beats. Then, there are a seemingly endless number of dank beats in songs like Some Chords and Right This Second. Deadmau5 is just unreal.
In short, get this album one way or another and blast it all day. You can buy it here.
