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
