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
I feel like the quality of the Hardcore Syndrome albums has been dropping steadily over the years, but that's probably just a matter of opinion as the artists' style has changed and all that. Still a fine album, but not quite what the series used to be. Aversal
are we sure this isn't a mislabeled Megaton Kick album? absolutely everyone is bringing thier hardest and pushing thier limits here, and i personally couldn't be more into it. even those who typically stay more bouncy are rocking some crazy high frequencies here, and several others are breaking explosive new styles and energy I've never heard from them before. 100% the best and most creative stuff from some of these guys, and undoubtedly the best Syndrome album to date.
