  1. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Fist-pumpy EDM cheese this most certainly is not. Instead, W:/2016ALBUM/ works equally in a field, car or headphones, the latest catalog entry from an artist who continues to delight in bucking expectations

  2. 7.0 |   Clash

    An album free from the shackles of a major label and its consequential rampant commercialism was always going to produce something that didn’t immediately pander to its keg fuelled audience.

  4. 6.0 |   The Observer

    There are too many generic pompous 70s-prog synths grafted on to basic beats. Compared to his tweets, this desperately lacks personality

  9. 6.0 |   The FT

    The electronic music producer pre-empts bad reviews for his latest album, saying it is a rushed job

  10. 6.0 |   Exclaim

    Love him or hate him, deadmau5 has played a big role in shaping the last decade of electronic dance music and he deserves our faith for at least a little while longer

  11. 5.9 |   Pitchfork

    On his latest, EDM titan deadmau5 continues to hint that he might have a better, richer album in him. Once more, he has not made it
