I have pre-ordered Joel Zimmerman aka Deadmau5's' new album directly, because I have the 1st now handled already in his previous two albums so and the pre-orders have never proven to be a mistake and 2. Deadmau5 his new album "While (1
After initial Through listening to the album I have to say that the album is quite different than expected. After the two pre-releases "Phantoms Can not Hang" and "Avaritia" I personally have not counted on so many experimental things so not the classic Deadmau5 sound of "Random Album Title", "For Lack Of A Better Name ", etc correspond.

"Pets" and "My Pet Coelacanth", and "Phantoms Can not Hang" remember already more like the old Deadmau5 sound of "4x4 = 12" or "For Lack Of A Better Name".

Whether he creates the latter entirely to be seen, because this album is really a matter of taste ... and type-dependent. Anyway, I find it extremely courageous and totally sympathetic that he did not use the "EDM-hype-train" pops open like any other simple-minded house producers today.
