4.0 out of 5 stars
WOW. So much more than "happy.", September 25, 2005
This review is from: That's What I Call Hardcore (Audio CD)
This album is downright serious. When I bought it, I knew it was Happy Hardcore by genre, but the songs on disc one are so much more than the joyous garbage of years past. The buildups, the breakdowns... a constant uplift of emotion and energy that extends beyond the limiting realm of "Happy" Hardcore. "Hand Of God," "Heaven Knows," and "The Angel" are my favorites.
now for disc two... I'm listening to it now... and it's not nearly as good. For those that are WAY into the Happy sound, this will be right up your alley, but not quite my style. "Oblivion" is probably my favorite, and it's a big favorite.
The 4 out of five stars is due to this second CD, inferior to the first.
I mean, come on, "SWEETHEART"?? Let's leave that in the hands of Britney Spears circa '98.
So there you have it, nice uplift, great tempo, and a bit of Drum n' Bass and straight Hardcore mixed into the middle of some tracks, make this album awesome, and more than I expected.
But disc two is undeniably IRRITATING until "Oblivion" is mixed in... whew. I love that one.
"Darkness... welcome to oblivion"
