Can't believe you didn't mention that Porter Robinson is on the last track. To me, that added so much more to the song considering how far back Skrillex and Porter go. It felt like things were coming full circle since Porter used to be on Skrillex's OWSLA label back in his early career with his Spitfire EP. I just thought it was really nice to see them working on something together after so long. Like they really are still here with the ones that they came with :')

I love the fact Skrillex got hated endlessly for making "brostep" and not adhering to the classic dubstep sound, now like 10 years later he releases this, full of songs heavily influenced by early dubstep. It really brings his career full circle. Also plenty of reggae influences which again harken back to dubstep's origins. Reading Soundcloud comments hating on the minimal atmospheric more simple dubstep sound now is really some sweet irony from the old comments I used to read about how "Mehh this isn't dubstep" now it's "Mehh this isn't Skrillex" Also not sure you mentioned A Street I Know but I am a sucker for Skrillex vocal chops and that song fills me with joy, even if it's not that ambitious

I love how both QFF and DGTC are sister albums. They are interconnected with many vocal samples and motifs. It’s the first I’ve heard something like this.

any producer or someone who can appreciate quality sound design should listen to the track tears on that album. sleepnet is also so underrated and definitely looking forward to seeing him grow from noisia

Ngl I kinda appreciate that you uploaded this after the more negative review to leave it on a high note. Idk why, I just feel that's pretty cool. Kudos for that.

I'm a massive Skrillex fan, and started producing electronic music in 2011 when I was 15 because of him, which at this point is almost a trope of edm producers but it honestly demonstrates how innovative and impactful Skrillex was. I actually very closely agree with your criticisms on both albums, I actually agreed with virtually everything you noted. I think given the context of his hiatus (which he stated was from depression and introspection after years of neglecting his mental health) QFF is actually pretty solid. A ton of the records on that album have been projects from many years ago, and in a sense we're actually listening to a Skrillex from 3-4 years in the past. This does lead me to think of how a more developed Skrillex track after he regularly produces more consistently will sound, if that happens to be the case. In general I wish he was a little more adventurous with his sound design, which is the easiest way I can describe what feels lackluster to me. Beyond that I'm just happy to see him releasing again as well as being in a better state of mind. Edit: I just want to note that I'm happy he's doing his thing, but I actually cannot talk/listen/comment on the other album, it's either a) insanely bad, or b) not my cup of tea. It's more than likely some combination of the two, but o well not everything is gonna be good.

@A_Friendly_Robot

I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. QFF is good in terms of Skrillex releases and great in terms of current EDM releases, but part of me wishes it was a bit more 'wild', kind of like how SMNS was. Agreed though, it's great to see him still making music. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if QFF was already in the works around the end of Jack U. I like to think the DGTC album is more of a 'got to pay the bills' project than a passion project.

@@Twtching Shit youre right. That's pretty interesting. Such is the nature of electronic music, i guess. Fans of skrillex are coming to this album for his production, and I'm happy there's a lot of effort put on that rather than the vocals or lyrics (good thing skrillex didn't make an album where the production plays second-fiddle to not-very-good vocal performances. It would be a shame if he did that)

The new Skrillex album has two feelings in my first impression. The first is that this album feels like it was the first time Sonny got a 12" bass or something because the sub on these songs is just perfect. The mix feels so clean. It has this minimalism to it that I find hard to fully describe. The second is how this makes me nostalgic for the early 2010s dubstep. I listened to Bangarang, Scary Noise, and Recess before listening to this album; and I found this to feel like similar music but without the hard edges of the previous albums. It goes hard, but it feels lost in the past, worn out by time, pessimism, and change. That's the kind of nostalgia I feel. It's what The Midnight feels like to me as well. All the harsh edges of the past have worn off on me, leaving me tired. 10/10 - Dubstep for Doomscrolling

This album slaps imo on repeat listens especially. The vocal for leave me like this has been living in my head rent free since the Fred Again.. boiler room set.

As someone who hasn't listen to basically any Skrillex music in the past, And only knows him from the "Brostep" that made him famous, Hearing "Still Here" off this album was honestly quite refreshing, As it actually sounded good, And reminded me of styles I like such as UK Garage or the original Dubstep.

I would not call myself a Skrillex fan but I have been listening to bass music pretty heavily for a bit more than a decade and I think this album is fantastic. It's rare that an artist in any genre can balance technical proficiency with raw emotion as well as is on display here. I want to give a bit more love to supersonic as well. Listening to it on my studio monitors for the first time was one of the most jaw dropping experiences I have had with music in a long time.

Absolutely. I do feel that you missed the incredible details in the sound design, mixing and mastering of this project. Listening to this with a good subwoofer and a good room is out of this world!

from a musicians and producers perspective, these albums are incredible. They're prime examples of using the basic producing and mixing fundamentals to achieve what most struggle with, even with the help of vast libraries that provide shortcuts (copy paste workflow), skrillex has once again flexed his understanding of music production. My Supersonic being the perfect example of how to keep a track fresh from start to finish, most people don't know that almost every bar (every 4 beats) in the track is unique to its previous. from a listeners perspective I can understand the dislike as I originally didn't like either album but after a little bit more of an attentive ear this sh*t is setting the bar for producers right now. also with the features, just because this guy either doesn't know of or like them doesn't mean they're limp features' its refreshing to see new and different features that show love to the lesser known artists involved.

supersonic was my fav track of last year even though it dropped in 21. absolute killer

He changed his shirt real quick

I have waited this album for 5 years and Im glad that it came out like this

The Flowdan features on this album remind me of Say Nothing and its very cathartic.

I need to listen to this again, because I was disappointed with it not having the song don't get too close on it. I had no idea he was gonna release 2 albums.

I like how some people realized that Skrillex is a great producer. Like cmon he's produced almost all genres with his own spin to it.

People are just now coming around to Skrillex? I thought he was a great producer when I first heard him in 2010.

Whatever your thoughts are on him, he is one of the most influential edm artists of this generation and this album is just a reminder of that.

I cant believe you didnt mention that the last song transitions back to the first song very well.

i think Don't Get Too Close is meant to be listened after QFF, which gives it so much more context. At first I didn't know what to think about it after listening to DGTC, but it's a vibe, it's just music, inspiration, experiences, i don't know how to explain it but i think Painting Rainbows sums it all up. For me this was the best come back he could've done, just wait for what's next...

You should review Knock2’s latest EP Room 202. I love when you dive into EDM but remember we offer more than just Skrillex and Porter! ❤

technical skill shouldn’t merit a high score on its own but anyone thats ever produced EDM knows that this album has solidified Skrillex’s place as THE GREATEST sound designer in music right now. His mixing skills are unparalleled. Also this album is a strong 8 to light 9 in my book - i don’t see it being as influential as something like Homework by Daft Punk in its day but it’s imo the best music of its kind.

"strong 8 to light 9 in my book ",yup and with some edited that track list down, a 10/10 electronic album

Surprised he didn’t mentioned A Street I Know, it’s one of my favorites. The outro is pure bliss.

On one hand, thank you for pointing out that the album cut of Supersonic does sound a little different, but on the other, Skrillex was on the original single release, too? Far as I’ve known at least. I know X&G have been sitting on a different cut of it for a minute now. Is there a version out there that’s just Josh Pan?

Personally the VIP version of supersonic on the Noisia album from last year is the better version. The drum and bass section is way too good

Eh. It's okay.

A Skrillex x Corey Feldman project would kill. So disappointing that didn't happen here 😕

Quest for Fire, as a electronic fan was so clean, unique, fresh, and nostalgic that even it felt like Skrillex grew up the same way I grew up. Middle school dubstep turned into one of the best producers and DJs I can name with much more mature cuts in the mix.

the vocal chops on Good Space are **chef's kiss**

This album feels like a real return to form for skrillex while paying homage to classic UK dubstep. I haven’t been a big fan of his more pop edm work and this album really serves us fans who miss classic dubstep

oh man im starving for good old uk dubstep to be new again

DGTC didn't grew on me too but I love it how Skrillex kinda created his own world with these albums. some vocal samples are used on both albums almost as references and alternative version and when you listen one after another you feel like that DiCaprio meme poiting at the tv and this made DGTC better for me

You have GOT to talk about the BC,NR bush hall performance

Getting a 7 is basically like getting a 10 with Anthony.. the album has some fun songs 👍

why is no one talking about the Anthony appearance more??? His voice just appeared and I lost my shit on first listen

i clicked faster than the drop on RATATA

What’s the album on the top shelf?

Skrillex came back when the world needed him most
