Editorial Reviews

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

Product Description

Debut album by UK dubstep act. Mercury. 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Finally Been Released! August 30, 2011
Format:Audio CD
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars These other guys aren't lying September 9, 2011
By Derek
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Album! March 7, 2012
By Gamefan
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting up into it all January 10, 2012
Format:Audio CD
Nero have undoubtedly been releasing hit after hit after hit after hit, but never before like this. Their evolution of taste, skill and sound has been released in a full force assault to the audience that will without a doubt unveil a brand new side the artist that'll get you excited as all get out.

My personal favorites for this album include "Doomsday", "Innocence", and "Scorpions".
But really, I recommend this to anyone; it is so beautiful and so surreal. This music will surely wipe you off the ground.

5.0 out of 5 stars From none to some September 21, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'll keep this fairly short. I really haven't listened to much electronic music at all, mainly because I used to dislike it. However I heard "Strobe" by Deadmau5 and decided to give some of the stuff another try. This was the first CD I got, and I have to say if you are interested in electronic at all this is an amazing CD to start with, it has a little bit of everything. I won't get into specifics because I wouldn't know the correct terms to elaborate, but in my book if all the songs on your CD are amazing and you only have one bad song on there in "Crush on you" which is just terrible you have done an amazing job as far as I am concerned.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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
