      My favourite one is Hydrate
      The album is 50/50 for me but the ones i like are soooo good especially Tears, Hydrate as mentioned, Inhale Exhale and A Street I Know

      Personally, it is not the Skrillex I like. His shows and music isn't what it used to be, not just in sound but in quality. I used to be a super fan of him and this just didn't impress me much

    How baffled you were in the first few tunes is my exact reaction as well. Although Hydrate is probably my favorite on the LP as a whole, with Inhale 2nd. In the time it's taken him to make a new album, I've gone on a classic dubstep journey, collecting dubplates, going to Coki and Rusko throwback shows, and enjoying the 2000-2006 sound. My girlfriend said I must have manifested this album with sheer will because who would have thought skrillex laying down some of that deep dark and dangerous

    • @xBunjee
      @xBunjee Рік тому +12

      @@RadzHexz As someone who really enjoys Skrillex's heavy/darker styled tracks, Supersonic feels the heaviest and also lends itself to the darker/mysterious vibes of Skrillex's older style. Especially with the lyrics and the tone of the vocals and their processing, almost sounds like a dream like state. The first drop is simple but with that simple structure we get a constantly evolving lead bass that has a phaser like quality to it that for me sounds incredible, almost euphoric and instantly gives me goosebumps. (That same sort of feeling you get when you listen to something like Eruption by Van Halen at the main tapping solo section). The second drop takes everything I liked about the first drop, and makes it faster/more aggressive and instantly gets me feeling hype and doing hand motions to the pattern. None of the other tracks on the album evoke anything close to that for me. This track is the one that feels closest to the Skrillex sound that I have grown to know and love over time compared to the others. You dont always need to be making something new and boundary pushing, sometimes its nice to have some familiarity, and this one (to me) feels like Skrillex's old style, but maxxed out to its full potential with how much cleaner his production quality has become over the years.

At this point he should change his name for people who enjoy this type of music, house, trap, rap. however, if his name were not there, almost no one would be interested in these songs. seeing the number of views one realizes.

    Leave me like this and ratatata are just too weak of an opener man. The album is just filled with previously released singles like existence and butterflies and kliptown epyrean and too bizarre. He should have switched those tracks with some other ID'S. Kinda disappointment. Seems rushed imo.

      Not really sure how it could be rushed. But I do understand the frustration with the previously released singles being a good 1/3rd of the album
