    Man I thought Joel was pretty respected music wise until I read some of these comments, and joined sites like RYM. Personally, I love that his music is danceable yet also keeps a tinge of melancholy (ie. Strobe, Polaris, Monophobia). But I guess those who are into more traditional electronica wouldn't really vibe with the more modern EDM sound, it can get in your face at times.

    • @JunkBondTrader
      @JunkBondTrader 4 роки тому +3

      You expect people to name every influence? Everything is influenced, and Deadmau5 more than the vast majority of artists, took that influence and turned it into his own thing, which spawned other genres. Are you implying Joel stole music, or ripped off music, or doesn't pay respect tot his influences because he didn't mention some specific thing about his past?? Yeah there is some synth layering that he did similar to this track. Honestly, it's a given that every electronic artist today has taken from Aphex Twin.

    • @slavzy
      @slavzy 4 роки тому

      When people are influenced by another artist. Then it starts to blow up in popularity and royalties roll in like crazy. Imo, you should give credit to where it’s due at that point. Everything else you mentioned I’ll let you figure it out.

    Note: NO ONE listens their own music guys. You did it. It was good. And done.
    Because you are already listening it over 1000 times while making it, plus it's already perfect, you would not release it if you thought it's not good. So listening it again and reading the comments about it is totally meaningless for a music artist.

    Could never get into Tycho. He sounds like an overly polished BOC. It's too easy. Not enough tension, too much release. Boards will makes you simmer in the dissonance and pull you out just in time.

      Don't gotta like him, but to sat Deadmau5 doesn't have the skill is hilarious. His sound is actually incredibly unique, really distinct chord progressions and was super innovative when he first got big. He has some pretty good stuff any electronic fan should be able to appreciate. Listen to the album While (1>2) - Got a handful of really dope tracks unlike the rest of his discog IMO - Monday, Bleed, Errors in my Bread, Terrors in my Head remix, Rylehs Lament, Creep. It's these types of more melancholic tracks of his I was always able to appreciate. The majority of his stuff, I can't get into.

      Joel is probably the most accessible electronic artist of all time. There is something to be said about that. And he's definitely innovative. In terms of raw skills nah. You listen to BoC with some good headphones and there is just... so many layers of complexity that you never hear in Joel's music. But complexity doesnm't necessarily mean better... And the average music listener can't get into creepy 90s electronic based of sounds from old Canadian government PSAs lol. Another group with 10/10, top shelf mixing skillz, is Infected Mushroom. Those dudes know how to play a mean computer.
