The only thing I don't quite fancy about this album is some of the scratching / teasing / cutting on CD2. These are wicked in normal sets, but I usually prefer my albums mixed "clean".
That said... What a massive album! I'm loving the variety and the overall production quality. At 8-9 GBP it's an absolute bargain too. Literally everyone into UK/freeform hardcore should grab it immediately for 2 reasons: 1) the music is fresh, varied and amazing, 2) the people making said music need every bit of support we can give them.
Honourable mentions (tracks I haven't heard or haven't quite caught before that I think are amazing):
Karl Future - Someday Soon (Darwin's HU Indie Mix)
AB & Synthwulf - The Cleansing
Obie, Macca & Odyssey - Black Hole
Steven Davidson - Killa
Uplift & Sc@r - Your Destiny
Darwin & Ellie - Now It's Gone
Album anthem:
Yes, I know it's Come Home, an amazing track in itself. But for me it has to be System Overload.

Come home makes me wet my pants... I love the way they have used the cruising bassline as well, very cheeky..
cd2 is the best for me, can't be bothered rating each track specifically because they are pretty much all mint.. it would be easier to pick the tracks i didn't like..

What type of hardcore are these songs? What ever kind they are, this type of hardcore needs to die, in my opinion. They sound retarded and are a joke.
I don't like Terrorizin' but Break the Groove is a good track. Just because it doesn't have old skool piano's or trance riffs that doesn't make it retarded. This style of hardcore is far better than the other styles that are around at the moment. Some of the new tracks are the best hardcore I've heard for the best part of 5 years.

I'm sorry but it sounds like it's made for kids with gay ass beep boop sounds. I'm more into mature sounds. These two are not the only ones I did not like. Some songs had too sugary melodies for my taste and others had a nice part but mostly consisted of boring parts. I wish those songs that had too short good parts were more 50/50. And to add one positive thing at least, this release had some great tracks and variety.
