Looks like the mouse has been caught. Monstercat took the cheese. He's been mousetrapped. Looks like the mouse died. The game of cat and mouse is over. He tried to Reach for number one on the charts, but when Deadmau5 heard that he was Too Late, his Frame of Mind became a Schism as he slowly began to realize that he was not the Hero that he thought he was, and he went Haywyre, turned Inside Out, and upside down. If he only had the Eagle Eyes to see the Moonlight shining on this album... EDIT-Forgot this one- The Cat got out of the bag.
But deadmau5's album isn't even released yet. It's just in pre-order. When it's fully released it will be on the front page of iTunes and be in the lead of everything for a couple days at least, lol..
I basically just finished 4 hours worth of homework in 45 minutes thanks to this song. The quality of my work may not be as good but the amount of time i saved shows how simply amazing music is, this mix in particular
the transition from Quantum to Reach is absolutely amazing. Those two songs themselves are good but idk something about the blend of them together takes it to another level for me
Man, I introduced Monstercat to a friend of mine when he was asking for some good music. I told him about this channel. He has been listening to all of the songs on this channel for so long, and then I told him that this album came out on his birthday...

Fun fact monstercat 017 has 11 Vocalists in all the most in all albums in monstercat even Zenith mix alone has more than any other album with 7 vocalists
1-Hero 2-Quantum Virtual Riot Remix 3-Surface 4-Inside Out 5-One Night Only 6-Moonlight 7-Frame Of Mind 8-Reach 9-Do It 10-Too Late 11-The Schism 12-Wanna Know You 13-The Covenant 14-Don't Forget 15-Eagle Eyes
My opinions on each song. At least in this mix. I'd have to say, Hero is definitely something new seen from the Pegboard Nerds. The Stonebank remix is great for people who love that electro feel, as he really kicks it in. Stonebank's "Eagle Eyes" was so... distant and mysterious, and I would have to say those wubs found in the drop are something to look over. That Virtual Riot Remix though! This Remix alone made me listen to more of some Virtual Riot tracks, and if you like Old School, check him out. This remix has made it on to a lot of Dubstep mixes in the community, and I think VR really deserves it. So, you've just watched the 016 Remix, eager to know what was coming up next. If you're a Kuledud3 fna, then you've definitely heard of Superfun 3 from Grant Bowtie, which was plain amazing alone. But this, this was something new. GB killed it with a new vibe that was stunning. Probably my favorite song in this mix. Rootkit was one of the only new, featured artists in this album that I actually enjoyed. "Do It" was an extremely underrated song, which I find a little bit pitiful. I personally loved it. "Too Late" was like a nice, fast paced, almost quieter version of Do It, with the little voices in the background. Bustre brings another original with him with "Don't Forget", and I will never forget the elements of Bustre played in this song. His track Zero-G was freaking gold, and that will always be my favorite DnB song. But back to 017. Droptek was trying something new, people! A fast paced DnB track is all we need once in a while, y'know? A lot of people hate this track, but that just means they don't have a lot of creativity/variety that they want in an artist, especially from Monstercat. DotEXE comes back with a great Trap track. It's so new, yet so familiar. It kinda puts me in a trance of where everything is going, well, Inside Out. Surface, though, seems to be the better Trap song in my eyes. I mean, the feeling is perfect, and I even may have twerked once to it.... wat. Wanna Know You is another original by Direct, the same feel is mixed with a bit of romance in it. I find it to be pretty good. Dang, who DOESN'T love Moonlight. This collaboration seemed to be amazing, and if you don;t believe me, tell that to Going Quantum. Moonlight was a masterpiece. Great job to these two. I actually was getting worried that there was not going to be a Varien track in this album! One Night Only was ok, I found it to be a little too original and almost boring. Hopefully, we can look forward to "Believe". Frame of Mind... just, just... wow. I like it. We'll leave it at that. Everyone says that Flight was the better song of these two, and I have to be one to agree. However, if the track were a thing of it's own, it would be great. Oh, the Schism. Haywyre is one of my favorite artists of all time. He is literally changing the way we see Glitch Hop/Moombahton/Moombahcore and I simply love it. Amazing mix, just amazing.
At this point I know these songs "Inside Out" and I've been listening to them for "One Night Only." Is it not "Too Late" to say that the flawless transitions for this track may cause the next "Schism?" Many artists find it hard to scratch the "Surface" of Monstercat releases. After listening to this its hard for me to "Reach" a stable "Frame of Mind." Great job everybody! :)
No i think the best is Direct Parallax mixed with Aero Chord surface before the drop that would sound so boss with the soft cries from surface and the epic beat from parallax
Wow... I love how on every Monstercat video, even old stuff like Dubstep Killed Rock'n'Roll, they have the intro for the Monstercat Album being in stores now! It's weird seeing that on 001 too! (Though how they did it, I'm confused, but it's still awesome! :D)
Such a great album mix right there (after playing through it), the song by Grant Bowtie, and also Haywyre were the best. :) Also the part of the album mix at 30:28 gave me a pure DJ mix feeling into me too (even though I never had a DJ set before, but I'm not complaining about that either) but I like it a lot anyways. :)

for anybody revisiting this mix for nostalgia like I am I hope your day is going well :-D
Man, to think I was listening to this back in Middle school, and still remember the lyrics to these tracks. Time is an interesting thing.
Right? Man I love listening to the old stuff. Brings back memories and makes me wanna make more lol
This album became number 1 on iTunes dance charts, passing deadmau5's newer album!
Looks like the mouse has been caught.
Monstercat took the cheese.
He's been mousetrapped.
Looks like the mouse died.
The game of cat and mouse is over.
He tried to Reach for number one on the charts, but when Deadmau5 heard that he was Too Late, his Frame of Mind became a Schism as he slowly began to realize that he was not the Hero that he thought he was, and he went Haywyre, turned Inside Out, and upside down.

ToatsMcGoats never say never. (Btw I fucking hate JB, I never said that because of him.)
Sorry, what?? I never said never, and idk what this has to do with JB...
ToatsMcGoats never say never is a part from a JB's song
Monstercat should make a tour around the world with all of their artists! Dat wood beh ermerzing
There is too much :/ Maybe there main artists though like idk, Pegboard Nerds, Tristam etc.
And do Vlogs to it. ;D
One artist for as many countries as they (Monstercat) have artists. English OP...
I agree but Nitro Fun cant go, he is 15 or 16
Yeah he can't stay up past curfew. He's got school tomorrow haha
I basically just finished 4 hours worth of homework in 45 minutes thanks to this song. The quality of my work may not be as good but the amount of time i saved shows how simply amazing music is, this mix in particular
Frame of mind and moonlight are the two best tracks here!
Gotta admit... FoM is better than flight, but I almost prefer To The Stars to FoM. Haven't listened to moonlight yet.
Yep true.
***** I don't really like surface :/. I think its just cause I love vocals in edm.
forgot Hero :) ( the dubstep version is much better than this one)´
where's the Covenant love?
the transition from Quantum to Reach is absolutely amazing. Those two songs themselves are good but idk something about the blend of them together takes it to another level for me
This is getting better and better. I'm listening Monstercat since days, every single day and there is new material constantly. Oh, MAN!!!
017 is great to listen to while studying for Regents Algebra. Trust me.
wut even is that lol
SubSIL3NT Podcast Maths... I think XD
wuts a muth?
That transition between Do It and Inside Out was fantastic.
This just blew my mind. I went fullscreen and closed my eyes and went off to a wonderful land, this album is amazing! Good Work Monstercat!
Can we all just agree that this is perhaps the best mcat album ever?
i suppose you haven't heard the beauty that is UV4
It’s definitely not the best but it’s one of the best lol
Here's to Ascension. The highest supported album to date by Monstercat! :D
This hasn't even scratched the surface of what Monstercat will do and I can't wait to see even better but right now keep going so who's with me
I shivered when I saw the eyes in the far back of 017's cover. The story is coming together for 025 and now 026 :O
Ermhagod!
I'm so glad to be apart of this amazing family! :D
I dont get how some poeple could dislike this... best music.
AMAZING album from Monstercat...along with 016, 015, 014, 013, 012, 011, 010, 009, 008, 007, 006, 005, 004, 003, 002 and 001 of course. Can't forget those.
Man, I introduced Monstercat to a friend of mine when he was asking for some good music. I told him about this channel. He has been listening to all of the songs on this channel for so long, and then I told him that this album came out on his birthday...
Best thing about being subscribed is that I can listen to all Monstercat's videos while gaming while still giving them views. :)
Which bastard would EVER dislike this... Thanks to everybody working on this
36:54 track onward is the best line up I've ever heard in any electronic album so far an with schism as the closer! Bravo
Zenith made my day, my week, my month and my life.
39:54 Best song IMO.
Was released 10 minutes ago... Is already at 39:54.
CallzumG There are all the songs in the description and i've heard all of them..
I love the transition from the song before it, sounds awesome.
I second that!
CallzumG Must be a determined fan, eh?
This entire mix is just unreal :D
I swear you guys always manage to pick the most brilliant album names lol.
Thank you monstercat for giving us this awesome moment that we all are facing right now
What a mix! One of the best, keep it up, I will love whatever comes on Monday.
Trivecta- Beleive
Go Gabe I know, I went through the entire video and checked.
And Wednesday, abd Friday, and repeat and repeat and repeat :D
YinCreations Thank you. You didn't notice I spelled it wrong ;)
I still think that Monstercat's Solace album is still the best, but no matter, they keep making great music! Awesome album mix!
00:00 - 53:42, perfect Saturday morning ^_^

NovaFantom or friday afternoon
Ahhh, the feeling man. :D

017 Ascension might just be the best one Monstercat has put together, Solace was my second favorite
I love the visuals on Monstercat, especially the album cover ones!
So many incredible tracks are in this album! Definitely deserved 1st spot on on itunes dance chart!
Great music! I listen to this every night! None of your songs get old. Thanks for the entertainment!
I am utterly in love with Hero; both original and reprise c: favorite album so far
The Hero reprise part is awesome. That song is just too good.
Just posted on the other mix that I was looking forward to this one, the Monstercat gods are with me :P
Eagle Eyes is so beautiful.
This mix is great.

I may suck at a lot things, but one thing I'm glad for is my good taste in music
Hero is the best song in this album hands down
Old Monstercat era >
That Stonebank track at 3:36 actually fits really well with the art here in this mix. :)

Good job you copy and pasted the description.

the beginning a dream*-* thanks for this great sound:*
10 years after and I am still bangin on this 😂
At this point I know these songs "Inside Out" and I've been listening to them for "One Night Only." Is it not "Too Late" to say that the flawless transitions for this track may cause the next "Schism?" Many artists find it hard to scratch the "Surface" of Monstercat releases. After listening to this its hard for me to "Reach" a stable "Frame of Mind." Great job everybody! :)
The beginning of Hero with the razor sharp drop would start world war 4
Hmm...
so... I'm guessing I missed World War 3 then...
Respati, world war 3 happend when razor sharp was released
No i think the best is Direct Parallax mixed with Aero Chord surface before the drop that would sound so boss with the soft cries from surface and the epic beat from parallax
deepak narayan so do it. :)
35:36 - The goosebumps have returned.
this mix is better than the abyss mix
is just awesome :D
Missing this era
YES! Frame of Mind, now 017 is good! ;)
Then, my frame of mind surfaced, and I felt like a hero listening to another amazing track :)
Loved it. I liked how you guys put in mixed genres I think I heard a big room house Song in there! Beautiful mix
Well it's 10:45 P.M and I should be getting to sleep... Nah! I need to listen to this first. O.O
This mix has the majority of the songs I liked from 017 :D
Although Monstercat released a lots of good mixes and songs, I think it's still the best.
Yes! This is the album i was waiting for!
my favourite mix so far! Tristam
Wow... I love how on every Monstercat video, even old stuff like Dubstep Killed Rock'n'Roll, they have the intro for the Monstercat Album being in stores now! It's weird seeing that on 001 too! (Though how they did it, I'm confused, but it's still awesome! :D)

Best album by far. Very well done.
Am I the only one who appreciates the little animations in the BG?
Hello Trivecta again!
I love your name :)
This was beautiful

Nick New I noticed the eyes too
Gotta love Monstercat
I just happen to check Monstercat 46 seconds after this was uploaded. xD
Frame of Mind is my favourite.

Loved it! Remix Monstercat best of all! Congratulations!

LOL.... RUclips stops views at 301 to see if they are real or not..

Ethan4Games For how long does it stop?
Fireguy103 I get the 301 views on my video quit a bit, it stops after 3-10 hours for me.
BEST MIX EVER!
17 is easily the best album no contest
