Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites EP

Previously the frontman for L.A. post-hardcore outfit From First to Last, Sonny Moore continues to develop his unforeseen dubstep tendencies with the second EP under his Skrillex alias, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. This surprising electro reinvention still throws a few bones to his previous metalhead crowd, with the virtually demonic basslines of "Scatta," a blisteringly dirty 140-bpm anthem featuring the suitably breakneck-speed MC skills of U.K. grime collective Foreign Beggars, and the sinister lyrics of the Daft Punk-esque robotic rave of "Kill EVERYBODY" ("I want to kill everybody in the world") just as unsettling as anything the two albums recorded with his former band had to offer. But perhaps inspired by the move to Deadmau5's Mau5trap label, its nine tracks present a more chilled-out, melodic, and even playful side to the eclectic producer. "With You, Friends" (an ambient reworking of the closing track to his My Name Is Skrillex EP) is a slow-burning epic that displays his penchant for chopped-up vocal samples amidst some lilting piano chords, swirling proggy electro riffs, and hypnotic house beats; "All I Ask of You" echoes the lush techno of his new boss, with its warm layered synths, ethereal vocals (courtesy of Penny), and Euro-trance hooks; while even the heavier moments are interspersed with lighter touches, such as the ingenious sample of YouTube sensation speedstackinggirl ("Yes! Oh My Gosh") on the towering beats and distorted bass of the title track and the Space Invaders-style bleeps, helium vocals, and stadium rock handclaps on the chaotic electro-clash of "Rock n' Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)." The three remixes from Noisia, Bare Noize, and Zedd are solid if unspectacular, with only the latter's chilled-out version of the title track providing anything wildly different from the originals. But the invention showcased on the first six bass-heavy anthems is more than enough to suggest that the U.S. has found someone who is capable of selling the dubstep sound back to its South London homeland.

这张专辑一出我就关注他了。。现在5年了

我是出来半年多，到现在一直称为我的神级人物，虽然只去过两次他的live 但还是感觉像梦，今年上海他也好多经典曲目。同行伙伴也开始沦陷于他的电子，我也真正地叫出了那句 call 911 now，

喜欢以前的大神，现在sk都变了[哀伤]

这张专辑让全世界听电音的人认识了dubstep

曾经的Skrillex只有一个词能形容，那就是天才。

这ep得过格莱美，6的一批

五年之后又五年。。。。

大神就是不被常理束缚，听众却被过去给束缚了

9周年[多多耍酷][多多耍酷][多多耍酷]

是不是所有喜欢sk的都经历了喜欢早期的Skrillex，然后在15-20年间不喜欢sk，以为他要大搞商业准备养老。最后在23年释出Quest for fire后再度发觉，他其实一直都是那个大神[多多捂脸]

√，很多人就认为Brostep=Dubstep

从小学开始听Skrillex现在都快大学毕业了

现在sk是玩的差不多了简单的做一点东西满足一下自己再顺便填饱肚子

最怕前一秒还能听 下一秒已经成了会员专享。。。是我不配。。。

我又想起一句话，别人说的:真想杀了地菠萝，完全把大神带偏了

你听一下他早期作品和近期的对比一下就知道了

只记得当年一出到超火，格莱美力捧，只是没想到我现在才听。

这个专辑开创一个新时代

电子音乐也在进步，不应该局限于时间....

现在Skrillex是不是江郎才尽[惶恐]
