Album Title Goes Here (stylized as > album title goes here <) is the sixth studio album by Canadian producer deadmau5. It was released on September 21, 2012 by Ultra Records.
The album is more experimental than deadmau5's previous albums, and he has stated in an interview with Fuse that he has considered producing music similar to his 2005 album Get Scraped again.[3]

Singles
The album has spawned five singles to date: "Maths", "The Veldt", "Professional Griefers", "Channel 42", and "Telemiscommunications". A music video directed by Paul Boyd was released for "Professional Griefers", which featured both deadmau5 and Way, and was promoted by Ultimate Fighting Championship. A fully animated music video by Qudos Animations was released on June 25, 2012. In a live stream on Ustream, deadmau5 confirmed the track "Sleepless" on the album was supposed to contain the vocals he had recorded, but he claimed to have accidentally submitted the wrong file without the vocals. This mistake got the vocal-less version placed on the final copy of the album.[4]
