\n\tIn the words of an iconic 2010 Skrillex <\/a>track, yes, on my god.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Tuesday (April 1), the producer released his fourth studio album<\/a>, the astoundingly titled F*CK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!!\u00a0<3<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tSkrillex Releases Dubstep-Heavy Fourth Studio Album \u2018F*CK U SKRILLEX\u2019: Stream\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tConsider this name a tone-setter for the tongue-in-cheek, often abrasive, occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, self-deprecating, self-aware, loving and ultimately quite moving project. Made up of 34 tracks, some as short as 29 seconds, the project is, as the opening track \u201cSKRILLEX IS DEAD\u201d requests, best listened to from start to finish, as it plays as a 46-minute continuous mix that compounds upon itself as it barrels along to a soaring finish.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf the project sounds like Skrillex having fun with his friends, that\u2019s because he\u2019s got more than 25 collaborators on the project, with this list including Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs, Boys Noize (the other half of Skrillex\u2019s longtime Dog Blood project), previous collaborator Bibi Bourelly, bass masters Wuki and G Jones and many, many others (with even more pals, including Fred again.. and ISOxo, also listed in the production credits).<\/p>\n

\n\tSo too do all the friends on this album not only indicate just how revered this guy is, but how he\u2019s an excellent curator with an ear for greatness both established and up and coming, with everyone seeming to use their turn on the project to flex as hard as humanly possible in terms of singing, production, sound design, complexity and general heaviness. <\/p>\n

\n\tSkrillex himself has said little about the project, beyond that it would be his last for Atlantic Records<\/a>, thanking \u201call my friends who took part in creating this moment\u201d and reiterating it\u2019s meant to be listened to from start to finish. <\/p>\n

\n\tSo, with a lot left open for interpretation, one can see the album as bridging two sides of the artist born Sonny Moore\u2019s long trajectory, with many moments evoking the hardest, most absurdly heavy moments that defined his earliest output as Skrillex, an era when his work came to define American style dubstep and evolve ideas of what music itself might be. <\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, the several in which he himself sings both nod to his early days as the vocalist for emo band From First to Last<\/a> while \u2014 in finally using his own voice on his electronic productions \u2014 indicate evolution, with Skrillex hereby putting himself out there in an arguably more vulnerable way than on much of his previous output. (And the moments in which he sings are some of the album\u2019s best.) <\/p>\n

\n\tThe album is MC\u2019d by a unidentified booming radio voice, who often drops in jokes that might in passing seem like just goofing around, but, in their frequent allusions to Skrillex being \u201cdead,\u201d Skrillex being \u201clocked in a basement,\u201d being about Atlantic Records, etc. seem to also perhaps indicate the artist\u2019s feelings about this being his final project for his longtime label. (The project, like all of his work, is a jouint release from Atlantic and Skrillex\u2019s own OWSLA label, with no announcement yet about what the future of OWSLA is now that his contract with Atlantic is complete.)<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile there were nine years between Skrillex\u2019s first and second albums, F*CK U SKRILLEX <\/em>is the relatively lightning-speed follow-up to 2023\u2019s Quest for Fire <\/em>and Don\u2019t Get Too Close.<\/em> In comparison, these albums feel absolutely contained and also traditional, containing 15 and 12 songs, respectively. To put 34 tracks on an album some might call batsh\u2013 (and we mean that as a compliment) suggests a punching through of boundaries, with the project altogether giving a feel of evolution and untethered creativity.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile it\u2019s perhaps a fool\u2019s errand to rank tracks on an album that\u2019s meant to be listened to from start to finish, there are certainly standout moments. These are the album\u2019s 34 tracks, ranked.<\/p>\n
