This is still Skrillex, just with lots of constructive self-remixing. Love him or show your age: He's making some of the most forward-thinking pop around

There are some downright mundane moments. Still for the teens though

Recess seems to indicate that he isn’t satisfied with the plateau he has placed himself at with his sound, and he doesn’t really know where to go with it

While the album will most likely not be considered a classic, it will undoubtedly satiate the Skrillex diehards

Recess is the final nail in the coffin for any sort of chance at critical acclaim Skrillex had at this point in his career

Pretty Much Amazing
Overstuffed songs that can’t focus long enough to even fully land one of his own trademark stomach-gurgle bass drops and don’t offer any other kind of thrill as compensation
