Absolutely baffling that people hold these opinions about his music. Absolutely baffling. They're totally off the mark. The guy makes great electronic music, some of the best out there, and well he's obviously doing something right, isn't he? Can't argue with results. In the simplicity lies the beauty.
Who says I am not a deadmau5 fan?
I'm just saying threads like this end up like how I posted, at least according to the first page. I wasn't aware there were 5 pages when I posted.

I'm reviving this thread, to basically reassert my opinion. Deadmau5 is a fucking boss. Show of hands: who here has listened to a continuous mix of Random Album Title? It's bliss. No one makes music like that. They never have, and they never will. If the quality of it escapes you, then that's unfortunate. But I'm going to go ahead and say it: best album I've ever listened to.

Is there really such a thing? It's all subjective anyways. We all hear music a little differently so what has significance for one might not for another. Has he had the biggest influence? Does he put on the best performances? Those questions are tricky enough but perhaps more tangible. The word greatest may be too blunt to really mean anything.

There should be. I'm a big tennis buff, and you should see the sort of arguing that goes on over at the Talk Tennis forums. Holy shit it's just nonstop "who's the greatest tennis player of all time" and Federer fanatics just arguing nonsensically with Nadal fans. But that's a bit different, because we can say objectively that Federer has the most weeks at world number one and the most major titles. With music it's much more difficult. I think the problem I have is that if I propose that Deadmau5 might be among the best/greatest it gets scoffed at. Should be able to throw his hat in the ring. It's like, if you combined trance, prog house, electro, and minimal tech, you have Deadmau5. And it's bloody brilliant. It just works. It's brazenly formulaic at times, and guess what? It's fantastic.

This may be an old thread, but I just have to say that I do not think he is the greatest or even close. I've tried to get into it. I really have. Anything that popular should have some merit, right? I can see why some people like his music I guess? but I don't see how anyone can love it. If he hadn't branded himself so well with that hat, He wouldn't be nearly as popular as he is. His music isn't the greatest. not even close. He seems like kind of a shitty dude too... but that's neither here nor there. I can easily think of 20+ producers off the top of my head that I consider better musicians. Anyway, I like my electronic music to be trippy. (and by trippy I don't mean psy trance, which doesn't seem very psychedelic to me either lol)Deadmau5 just doesn't stimulate my mind like I think good electronic music should do =/
