They didn't TriHard enough to overcome the over-awesomeness of Mr. Wesson And Mr. Smith. Afraid handing over their ass over to their Hi-NRG Attack overlords.

In one way, that's sad. BibleThump :(

As expected, this is a Worst of for me. Even though there are 13/26 songs I at least like, there are almost no songs on it I love. Also, avex is cheating. They chose the way of having only four SEBs for megamixing. What do they do now? They just take 231 in into the 2015's pool. Okay, Hey Chicken is a great song, though. But I think, it shouldn't be on a Best of 2015 when it was released in 2014.

Also, the Let It Go song is really great. I actually bought it over Japanese iTunes some time ago and I'm addicted to it. It's already in my top 5 of most listened songs this year. But I can't blame avex for this, it's a fantastic song and we finally get bonus songs again... If avex continous to do so.

Maybe the mixing will be good which could rescue the whole mix for me but I don't expect that.

I wonder how avex will manage it next year. There'll be the 240, the Non-Stop Megamix of Everlasting Same Trax. Will they use songs of 236 then?

From looking at the track listing, there is a significant tempo decrease between How Can I Feel It & Baby You'll Be My Lover...but after that, tracks 10-12 are all similar in tempo, then it speeds back up at track 13. Other those 2 choppy parts, the next weird section is Minimal Love to I Know, with I Know being a bit faster. The best, and most common sense solution will be to beat match tracks 13-25, but as stated in other threads, the DJs haven't sped anything up since Best of 2009.

I do care. The cover looks great. Why do the (probably) bad SEBs always have the nice covers? :D

Got my pre-order!

Cover reminds me of this UK Hardcore CD:

I'm liking the latest covers so far, this one is no different.
Yep, tracklist is not my cup of coffee, but whatever. If it sells, they should keep it going.

I agree with Bonkers!! It reminds me of other EDM covers too hahaha

Tbh, I don't like that logo tato-- um, I mean, photoshopped on the girl face. Doesn't fit Eurobeat at all. It's more like mainstream house, hard house and pop remixes that plays in clubs. It's not that I'm grassroot about this... I'm up for a new logo but not this. :\

Yes, it's very mainstream...hence the Clubland Hardcore album cover which is just hardcore remixes of club tracks (Not one of my favorite CDs for that reason).

I think for this cover alone, it's suiting because of the eye-shadow, but I hope the classic style stays! Shouldn't we be getting new covers soon with 241?

My best guess is: more sexyness, sunglasses, strong makeup, minimal backgrounds, very commercial appeal - I see these edm compilation's covers and can predict SEB going somewhere close to that style.

Or I might be wrong.

It's like extremely cheap right now anyway. I mean, the back of the booklet is a mirror of the front... FFS. You can't get cheaper than that!
