    Holy. Damn. This album is AWESOME. Who knew that moombah and dubstep could fuse like this and create epic trap like this? One of the best tracks is Febreze, which, regardless of your opinion of 2 Chainz, will make you chuckle unintentionally due to the silly lyrics. Mind is also a gem, including a wonderfully strange duet between Kai and Skrillex accompanied by a bassy, pulsading drop.Holy. Damn. This album is AWESOME.

Just buy the whole thing and listen to it! You will not be disappointed.… Expand

    I owned the album from iTunes. Skrillex and Diplo well done. It deserves 7. It is not like the old skrillex but it is good. I liked Take Ü there, To Ü, Mind and Where Are Ü Now

    This album is amazing, just it. Skrillex and Diplo managed to unite their sounds and produce extremely welcoming and detail music.

    It isn't almost impossible to admit that songs like "Take Ü There", "To Ü", "Jungle Bae", "Mind" and "Where Are Ü Now" were perfectly unified and produced with so many attention, because they are great to hear.

    Bring Kiesza, 2 Chainz, Justin Bieber, AlunaGeorge and Missy Elliott in the same album was a great marketing play by the way. I just loved it too much.    … Expand

    Really great mix of different genres on this one: Trap, Dubstep, House, etc... The music just seems to make you want to get up and dance. If innovation and "avant-garde" EDM sounds is your thing, then yeah, go out and get this one.

    Good Songs: "Take Ü There (Missy Elliott Remix)", "To Ü", "Mind", "Holla Out", Where are Ü Now"
    Bad Songs: "Beats Knockin"

    With crazy beats, melodies this album would make you wonder the wisdom of Diplo, Skrillex and other co-venturers. At points it gets very very wonderful. The annoying production never gets annoying. The album can put you into the groove. I was surprised to listen the Kiesza sung "Take U There". How crazy it is!
    Favourite tracks - "Where Are U Now", "To U", "Take U There".

    Um divertido e breve passatempo para os amantes da música eletrônica. (B-)

    Jack U is a party-EDM-banger album, and it pulls up its job effectively. Dirty beats of Skrillex mastered by Diplo made the slightly overwhelming but catchy-to-dance-to Pop Trap album, making "Pop Trap" effectively mainstream where House-related genres were the only thing you used to expect in mainstages of EDM festivals such as Ultra.

    The combination of pop and EDM is nothing new, but rarely has it felt quite so enjoyable as it does here.

    Generally speaking, the Jack Ü project is fully functional party music that hedges its bets with collaborations and does little in the way of genuine innovation.

    Lesser guests are occasionally lost amid the restless drums and ricocheting synths. For listeners, though, getting lost in these tracks is half the fun.
