Random Album Title is the third studio album by producer deadmau5. Released on the labels Mau5trap Recordings, Ministry of Sound and Ultra Records, it is deadmau5's breakthrough album and his first to stylize names and titles using the now-familiar "Arial Black" font. The album contains the singles "Faxing Berlin", "Not Exactly", and deadmau5's collaboration with Kaskade "I Remember". It was released physically in Ireland on October 3, 2008 and in the UK on October 6, 2008. In the United States, and Canada, there are two versions of the album, Unmixed (UL1905) and Mixed (UL1868). It was released September 2, 2008 digitally (beatport.com, iTunes, etc.), and was released physically worldwide on November 4.

Following the success of the single "I Remember" in the UK, Random Album Title entered the UK Top 75 Albums chart at #31 in May 2009. A video for "I Remember" was released in early 2009. "Faxing Berlin" appears in At Play, which is 6:17 longer compared to the mixed album version's length.

The track "Arguru" was written in memory of Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius, a well-known audio-software developer and musician.^[2] The song's composition is similar to that of "I Said", deadmau5's 2010 collaboration with Chris Lake, who also co-wrote the track.^[3]

The track "Slip" is named for its recurrent hook, which intentionally falls out of time with the song.

The track "Brazil (2nd Edit)" has been used numerous times by other artists. Kylie Minogue sampled the song in the sessions for her album Aphrodite in an unreleased song named "Change Your Mind". Alexis Jordan also used the song on her debut single, "Happiness". It has also been used by Taio Cruz in his song "Touch the Sky". It was used as a remixed mash-up for Haley Gibby's 2010 recording "Falling in Love," billed as "Falling in Love With Brazil." The first edit of "Brazil" has seen no official release but may be found online at sites such as YouTube.
