Review
"Welcome Reality" will inevitably soundtrack thousands of summer and fall blowouts....Nero understand how to make things burn. -- Los Angeles Times
Glorious, splinter-thin moments when a sound is both free to do whatever it wants and still functioning as a new power source... -- The New Yorker
Nero's Joe Ray and Dan Stephens ache to bestow post-dubstep with its can-you-believe-this-sh*t? flash of stadium-size euphoria, enhancing (or defiling, depending on your perspective) the genre's bass-heavy payload with trancey synths and wailing vocals." -- SPIN Magazine

Nero has been releasing hit after hit for the past few months, and it's made a lot of fans wonder when they would actually release their own full-length album. Well, the album has finally been released, and there is no disappointment whilst listening to it. It opens beautifully with the track 2808, and through the course of listening, you will hear their hits "Guilt," "Innocence," and "Promises." There is also a remixed cover of the track "Stress" by French Electro duo Justice titled "Angst," and it is a wonderful musical piece to listen to. This album is just absolutely killer, and I would say that it is, without a doubt, the best dubstep/drum and bass album to drop this year. It's not just filled with gratuitous amounts of deep, rolling bass like many other producers in the genre. This is a masterpiece, and I believe that anyone who likes electronic music will absolutely love this album. It is most definitely a "must-hear" album of 2011.

The music arcs from atmospheric staging to dramatic build so well and, of course, delivers the massive drop that--by the time it comes--you are about ready to explode for. Takes me back to some really good memories, yet has a very modern sound. For me, it was a very lucky find!

Less straight "dubstep" and more electronica along the lines of some of Ferry Corsten's work. Doomsday is the recent single getting the word about Nero further out, but it's only an opener for an overall fantastic album. Definitely pick this one up if you're fan of the genre.

seductively electric organized chaos
Intense and deep-diving into the electro-dubstep tidal wave. seductive vocals and intense beat structures. Very dance driven but there is also plenty of down-tempo darker vibes. Read more

A wonderful and fun album
Works great as a full album and some of the most fun singles of late. If you consider yourself a fan of any sorts of electronic music this is a must have album.

Concept albums still exist
I bought this because there were a few songs I had heard on Pandora and it was just cheaper to buy a used CD than the digital format. Read more

First few tracks are wonderful
After the first few tracks it descends into mediocrity through boring remixes of songs you've heard dozens of times (and probably better) from other artists.

One of the best techno albums
I really don't like all that much electronic music. I really hate nearly all dub step but this album is so much different than anything else. Read more
