Parodies are supposed to give criticism, but this is entirely cynicism. It's thoroughly not funny, and Walker doesn't seem to understand the original work he's parodying at all. It earns 5/100 from me because the title "The Song After This One Is Really Good" is slightly funny to me, in a sort of meta/ironic way.

I think this album's biggest strengths comes from appreciating the complicated modular synthesis that deadmau5 uses, and the production value. Unfortunately, I feel that some songs don't stand the test of time after the 2010 electro house mainstream period.

Some Chords: 90
He introduces the album with a strong electro house song, a high bar that I don't think he reaches as the album goes on. It has enough movement throughout to stay exciting.

Speak to Me: 90
I imagine it took a lot of work to produce a track like this in 1973. This intro sets the tone very well in my opinion.

Breathe (In the Air): 90

On the Run: 70
Maybe these synths were a banger in 1973, but I don't really get it. It's redeemed at the ending with a pretty good build up (but to what?).

Then we get one of the best 35 minute runs of music in history.

Bombtrack: 95

Killing in the Name: 95
It would be 100/100 to me with the second verse changed to Zack's live version.

Take the Power Back: 95

Settle for Nothing: 90

Bullet in the Head: 100

Know Your Enemy: 95

Wake Up: 100

Fistful of Steel: 95

Township Rebellion: 90
The breakdown is obviously the highlight, as they've played it live without the rest of the song. I think this song has the weakest guitar solo on the album.
