Album Title Goes Here is the sixth studio album by deadmau5, released in September 2012 on Mau5trap / Ultra Records and self-produced by deadmau5. The album continued his tradition of self-deprecating, placeholder-titled releases while showcasing a broader sonic palette that included electro house, progressive house, and more experimental directions. The single 'The Veldt,' based on the Ray Bradbury short story of the same name and featuring lyrics sung by Chris James, is among the most literary and culturally engaged pieces in electronic music. Collaborations with Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance on 'Professional Griefers' demonstrated deadmau5's willingness to work across genre boundaries. Album Title Goes Here is a rich and varied record that confirmed deadmau5's position as one of electronic music's most intellectually ambitious practitioners.
