Genre: Electro House

You know what Canadia is great for? Nothing. I mean, sure, they gave us Cryptopsy (look how that turned out), they gave us Venetian Snares (except, Aaron Funk hates Canadia too), and apparently they gave us Deadmau5. You also have to remember, though, that they gave us Celine Dion, and that outweighs anything good they'll ever do for anyone, ever. That, and they can't even think of a good way to name themselves (come on, if you're from Canada, you're Canadan, or you're a Canadian from Canadia).

However, Deadmau5 is pretty awesome, despite that whole ear-shreddingly bad pop fiasco that was mentioned. Crisp production and smooth beats produce a strong backbone for the band's long song times. Personally, I think the first song is the absolute weakest on the album; all of the others are incredibly solid, and some of them dabble in Aphex Twin atmospheres and ambiance. In fact, why Deadmau5 chose to include the first song at all slightly baffles me. Definitely worth checking out if you like dancing or if you just want a cool album to chill to.

Also, Canadians are awesome.
