i've been a fan of hardcore tano*C for nearly a decade and a half, and over those years i feel like i've wavered on how much i enjoy their annual compilations as they've progressed. it could be nostalgia talking, but i still consider some of the earliest SYNDROME albums to be the most solid. i was thrilled to listen to this one and find that there were no skippable tracks, and many that go hard while being amazingly mastered. picking a best track was hard, but i could listen to ISOLATOR all day. 2Bhere4U
Lakad Mataag! is such a rhythmically attention grabbing song. i only wish the bass drop on it were harder... i've always liked the J-Neration series although some albums are better than others. i usually find that each compilation has a few songs that sound fairly generic, which isn't to say they sound bad (they are enjoyable if you like jcore). these are usually made up for the tracks that i find more interesting or a little more iteratively creative, like the one mentioned. 2Bhere4U
