Random Album Title is the third studio album by the Canadian record producer and DJ deadmau5, released by Ultra Records and mau5trap on 2 September 2008. It is deadmau5's breakthrough album as well as his first to utilize titles using the now-familiar Arial Black font. The album contains the singles "Faxing Berlin", "Not Exactly" and "I Remember". Following the success of "I Remember" in the UK, Random Album Title later entered the UK Top 75 Albums chart at #31 in May 2009.

The track "Slip" is named for its hook which intentionally falls out of time with the beat and melody of the song.

The original mix of "Faxing Berlin" is 8:37 compared to the mixed album version's length, which is only 2:36. Combined with its preceding acoustic piano intro on the continuous mix version it is 4:15. On the unmixed version, both these tracks are replaced by the original mix.

The track "Arguru" was written in memory of Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius nicknamed Arguru, a well-known audio software developer and musician. The composition of the 2010 song "I Said" by deadmau5 and Chris Lake (who also co-wrote "Arguru") would later be similar to the song.

All tracks written by Joel Zimmerman, except where noted.

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 single, "Happiness". It has also been used by Taio Cruz in his song "Touch the Sky". It was used as part of a remixed mash-up of it and Haley Gibby's 2010 song "Falling in Love" as "Falling in Love With Brazil." The first edit of "Brazil" has seen no official release but can be found online on sites such as YouTube.
