A fine artist for what he is. Has a couple of great songs and good albums. There is no where else for his career to go to at this point. I don't understand the hate some have for him. There are far more offensive acts out there, I feel. All in all, he makes for a good introduction in electronic music. Just know when to find someone that is better if you're not feeling it...

Quoting the poster below "Animusvox" this guy thinks Deamau5 is the best producer alive today, his skills are beyond the scope of any other producer!!!
You are speaking utter shit, if Deamau5 is the best then dance music is in very bad shape indeed, you really need expand your listening as i get the feeling you only own Deamau5 tracks, otehrwise why would you be so ignorant and your genral naivety is astounding.
Deadmau5 would have to be one of the most unimaginative uninspiring producers alive today making the blandest copy and paste music out there!!!

The first thing that you should note is that I am NOT a house lover ( I rather Prefer Breakbeat and Breakcore ) so don't take this comment as 100% unbiased.
I bought two of his albums ( 4x4=12, while(1<2)) and I have got to say, they are not that bad. Probably my biggest complaint about this guy is that some of the tracks (especially on the 'while(1<2)' album) are just a bit too repetitive, but other than that, it is all good. my favorite tracks by him are Animal Rights and Ghosts 'n' Stuff.

This kid is a mindless, jumped-up little moron, and the fact that he's managed to sustain his popularity for so long is truly depressing. The level of his ideas should be apparent from titles as inspired as "Random Album Title", "For Lack Of A Better Name" and "Album Title Goes Here", and from the fact that he named himself after a website login. Worthless, generic music topped-off with a sub-Disney visual gimmick that makes Daft Punk's abysmal headgear look almost credible. "The *reward* is cheese"? More like punishment.

Oh the irony. Why does it say he's a trance producer in the description? He has been bashing mainstream trance on Twitter lately like a little attention wh0re. He just stated that Binary Finary killed trance with 1998 and that comes from the sync button mastermind and a person who's latest album is nothing but pure piss.
Also he's bashing on his fellow artists like Avicii and Martin Garrix while still playing at the same festivals and sharing same decks. So why's that? That's right - because of a big paycheck. Deadtw4t has been a sell out for years and playing in the mainstream bandwagon for some time now and he dares to bash entire trance scene stating that it's dead, meanwhile most of the Top10 DJs plays trance...
I agree Trance scene is not the same as it used to be, I don't listen to ASOT myself its too commercial, but bashing it in such low way, ranting on Twitter makes you look like a tw4t Joel.
Also speaking of music styles and genres, where do you belong yourself Deadmau5? Not house scene for sure, because none of actual real house big players ever plays your sh1t, Sasha, Digweed, Carl Cox and etc. Seems like you belong in the same commercial pop bandwagon with Avicii and others that you mock from time to time without realizing you've been with them in the same (big)room since day one.
I'm not bashing his productions, it used to be good back in a day when he came in to the scene and when he wasn't such a little kunt like he is now. Crying like a baby on Twitter, so professional, makes it hard to understand why millions follows him. Nobody likes crybabies, just stay where you are and calm your tits Deadschnitzel.

I will be defending Deadmau5 since I've been a fan of him since when he had a much smaller fanbase than he does now. As a fan of him for a long time, I must say that his style of music hasn't changed at all. Sure he may be trying out other styles of music such as electro and dubstep, but when he will make a progressive or tech-house production as he has done in the past, he will sound like the same Deadmau5 that I discovered a while back. It's hard to say as to whether he has gone mainstream or not, since he hasn't made crap for the talentless elite that rule today's airwaves; as was the case unfortunately for David Guetta. Regardless, I still see him as the same person that I began to appreciate when I first listened to Random Album Title and will continue to do so for a while.

Don't really fancy this dude. But he has millions of fans, so why should you care of my opinion?
