who else stoked for this?
also, your general thoughts on Joel's music, i'd like to read your opinions
>>69200998
>>69201344
typical Joel
>>69200998
look he's talented
yeah not that bad of a guy
but for years he's been saying how shitty edm is and how skrillex is but continue to releases garbage.
has million dollars worth of a equipment and have the kids making shit in pirated fl studio make better crap than him.
I was hoping he would go the aphex or autechre route but all we get is subpar releases.
I like him but i don't care for his music anymore
>>69201344
This is really pretentious and attention whorey. I feel like it's just a way to mentally shield himself from criticism.
If you don't like the album then don't fucking release it. No one's making you. Plus, you're already rich.
Every musician feels some insecurity about your work but either keep it to yourself or scrap/redo the project. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
>>69201401
Yeah same. I generally like him but he's run out of fresh ideas. Some of his """experimental""" stuff is better and more complex than hia old stuff, but it's still not good.
He's maxed out his mixing and "pristine production" skills and hasn't innovated in songwriting at all. He's a glorified engineer.
>>69201401
Fucking this
>>69200998
It's just techno innit
>>69201543
nope, one is hip-hop sorta beat (Snowcone), few prog house (2884, 4ware)
The techno you are speaking of is Deus Ex Machina
>>69201401
aw hell yeah
i think he uses all his modulars just to please himself, making tracks just for his own usage
releases stuff just to earn more money and get better equipment
>>69200998
is joel posting on /mu/ again?
He seriously needs to hit the reset button with his music. Its all starting to sound similar. Perhaps go back to his Get Scraped days, or even start using his own voice for vocals.. because for some reason i really liked when he did...

id love to hear get scrapped/RAT stuff. Its so damn good
>>69200998
edm is not music
Liked him back in high school. Hate most of his stuff now. I like a few singles and some of his pre-4x4=12 stuff, but I wouldn't call any of it amazing. Random Album Title is still wonderful however.
>Joel will never go back to stuff like Jaded and Faxing Berlin
I thought While(1<2) was meant to be his "artist album" anyway, even if it was "7" mixed with the usual annual collection of Soundcloud tracks.
>>69201402
>No one's making you
I'm pretty sure his label was pushing him to release something
>>69203782
It objectively is. You can't just say something isn't music because you don't like it. Sign of an immature cockbag
>>69203782
>>69204019
does he not run his own fucking label?
>>69203782
Educate yourself
>>69204093
He does own mau5trap but his own releases are through them and a major label, last time it was Astralwerks but I can't remember if it's still them.
>>69201402
>If you don't like the album then don't fucking release it. No one's making you.
He's already let the album leak out for free anyway and he doesn't even seem to care.
Snowcone is one of his best tracks ever imo. Some other good stuff on there from what ive heard so far.
He's acting pretty strange about it all though.
>>69204019
>pretty sure his label
He was in a huge legal battle for 2 years to get off the previous label.
This is his first self released album.
So I've been thinking about starting listening to this guy for a while now, glad this thread came a long.
What's a good album to start with? Or should I just listen to his whole discography chronologically ?
>>69201402
yeah joels entire behaviour is like this which is why he fell the fuck off, people still care because his initial following was so huge but it seems like all he's ever doing is getting angry at things that nobody cares about or defending himself
>>69204400
Get Scrapped, Random Album Title, Halcyon441 compilations
>>69204400
Random Album Title and Get Scraped.
>>69201401
jesus christ i wish i lived in the alternate timeline where deadmau5 took the aphex twin route
>>69204447
Yeah, ironically his bitching about this Marshmellow bloke using his mousehead for a joke has given him much more exposure than not even mentioning it.
>>69203782

>/mu/ discusses dance music
oh wow, i don't even know which of these posts is the worst
>>69200998
Go to bed Joel
I'm probably gonna be made fun of here, but I honestly consider him one of my favourite artists of all the time. It's something about his music that always makes me come back to it. I don't know anyone that has similar style to him. Anybody want to recommend me similar artists to deadmau5 that have this electro/progressive sound?
The Comments here really needs to be tweetted to Joel..
maybe he will consider
anybody?
>>69204648
Stephan Bodzin, Pryda by Eric Prydz, those Glenn Morrison tracks that Joel ghost-produced.
>>69204638
The important thing is that you made yourself feel superior to everyone else.
>>69204694
and posting "educate yourself" isn't?
snowcone is pretty good desu
stupid minnie mouse dead mow five
>>69204648
That's fine anon. Better you like what you like, instead of pretending to like /mu/core or something.
He was one of my favorites back in high school and had a huge influence on my music, so I'll always love his work for that.
grew up listening to him, still like him but don't listen to his music anywhere near as much
I'd say he contributed quite a lot to my taste
>>69204648
>similar artists to deadmau5
Some more prog house, some more techno:

Thoughts on the new Joel "banger" he debuted last month? It's called "Crampy Bitch".
