Mark Foster - Kiss Me Divine
HM: Leo River - Runaway(don't care for for the autotuned vocals)

Bottom 5:
Annalise - Fantasy World(at least they scored two hits with ABeatC this time, but this one is just a waste of space)
Cherry - Got To Be Certain(lazy cover)
Jay Lehr - Wildlife
Daniel - My Gasoline
Go2 - Purple Emotion
Overall: Quite a letdown after the 180s. ABeatC is making a comeback in quality, GGM has a greater presence, but Delta and SCP suck now, at least on this album, after blazing through the 180s, are they burned out? And one of the filler tracks could have been a Dima track like 1 Week instead.

The lack of any sign of A Neverending Night in wolf's list makes me cry. That was the best song on the album!

Easily top 3 from the album - it surprised me too. The more I listen to this album, the more I enjoy even the tracks that I gave lower grades to (Kiss Me Divine and Fantasy World). Hopefully it's the shape of things to come in the 190's :)

He probably refers to the Antares Autotune, which was used massively in Cher - Believe and you can hear that effect in Arena 69 songs as well.

I don't know why he is so sure that the autotune was used for this song. I personally doubt it.

Actually Autotuners are very dominantly used in pop music now, and it wouldn't surprise me if they were employed in Eurobeat as well. Much as everyone likes to believe their favourite artists have perfect voices, this isn't always the case - certainly it's nicer to be able to 'perfect' the performance to keep your listeners happy.

Yeah true,

The moment I heard Neverending night, I knew it was definitely going to be a hit (For me at least), sure I may be mad and crazy over My Gasoline but Mickey B doesn't fall anywhere behind. :grin:

I can't see why Mickey B fans wouldn't like this song, seriously. 8)

What's with everybody orgasming over "Into The Game"? It's very much your typical Powerful T. production, similar to every track he sung since 171. I've read some people's reviews and they've compared it to the likes of "Original Sin", which most would agree is him at his best. I just can't see why it's so special. To me, this track is already one of my top contenders for most overrated production of the 190s and the decade has barely begun.

And just because Mickey B. has a new track out doesn't mean she's back. A-Beat C could be reusing old vocals with new soundworlds as they did with the latest Karen tracks. Of course, I'd love it if she returned just to curb Annerley Gordon's overexposure.

Typical yes, good song ? Still a yes, just because it's typical and overhyped doesn't exactly make it anywhere down. I don't like Original Sin, Thats me, You like Orginal Sin, Thats you. I am not you and you are not me either, no one sees eye to eye on every single music production.

I probably don't care if its reused or what, a good song is a good song is a good song, no matter reused, bashed or whatsoever. Purple emotion is old, we all know that, but I still like it because it is a good song.

Problem is that if a song is too generic or typical, that probably means it doesn't have anything particularly notable to stand out from other songs by the same artist. It can be effective enough if it does everything efficiently, but it's not gonna become too longlasting without something that really stands out; I like Runaway the most on this album because it's not only effective to the max, but it also has a lot of fresh, energetic substance that hasn't particularly been seen in many eurobeat tracks so far. That being said, I do like Into The Game, but I agree that it's definitely not Original Sin (Powerful T.'s best song imo, along with My Fire, his first track).

As for the comment made about Mickey B. though, that just sounds a bit negative imo. GP has been bringing back a lot of old titles recently. Mickey B. returning with a brand new song makes perfect enough sense to me and shouldn't be automatically distrusted as just a "re-invention" of old, leftover material.

Michaela Capurro's vocals sound fresh, so you may be right. But reusing old vocals is always a possibility.

I would think the mickey b track is new since it shares a new writer with Into The Game. So if there was a chance that A Neverending Night was an older reused track then Into The Game would have to fall in the same catergory more than likely.

Into The Game surley deverves the praises it¿s getteing. It has all the aspects that make a great Powerful T. song. Including the Marilyn Manson- Dope Show intro in the outro, which possibly none of you recognized? That alone makes it noticable. The only downfall is that Powerful T.'s vocals are a tad too mixed behind the music. Just a bit, but it's noticable. Original Sin was a good song, but didn't equal the power of Ace Of Spades or Glorious IMOP.
