01. Frequencerz - A Muse - decent tune, glad they also decided to make some more listening orientated tracks than pure party tunes :) 7/10
02. Frequencerz & Tartaros Feat. MC Jeff - Wolfpack- i just cant get myself to like that cheesy vocal somehow... 5/10
03. Frequencerz & Da Tweekaz – Full Control 6/10
04. Frequencerz - 12FU - absolute killer, exactly what i expect from these guys, probably the best track on the album _O_ 10/10
05. Frequencerz & Zany - Embrace - too bad the melo is kinda random, could be awesome tune 6/10
06. B-Freqz - In The Club - there are better B-Freqz tunes for sure but its not bad :) 7/10
07. Frequencerz Feat. MC Jeff - Shotgun - when Scooter does it, everyone goes apeshit. when hardstyle producers do it it's somehow okay for everyone....Nice Limp bizkit ripoff
08. Frequencerz & Hard Driver - Snap Ya Neck - 8/10
09. B-Freqz - Psycho (2016 Edit)
10. Frequencerz & Ran-D - Shut Up - i just love how all Ran-D tunes are properly made long tracks with more than just break and melody! Great collab, wish they would give away Music Makes Me Do It some day 9/10
11. Frequencerz - Open Your Mind - absolute banger again 10/10
12. Frequencerz & E-Force - Gods - that kick _O_ really great atmosphere too 9/10
13. Frequencerz - Rockstar (Sub Zero Project Remix) - adds absolutely nothing to original, dont get why these guys get so much attention.... 3/10
14. Frequencerz & Warface - Elevate - not as good as Menace but still a solid banger! 8/10
15. Frequencerz - Nuclear - lovely tune with great atmosphere! wish there were more tematic tunes like this :) 9/10
16. Frequencerz - Bitch (B-Freqz Hardcore Remix) - ugh, i wish i didnt hear this 0/10
17. Frequencerz & Tartaros Feat. MC Jeff - Wolfpack (Qlimax Edit) 5/10

Overall a decent album, some absolute bangers, some really weak ones. Will definitely play tunes like 12FU, Gods, Open Your Mind, Shut Up or Nuclear for a long time. Overall a decent 7/10 :) Lets hope for quick sampler releases

Great review ceero! Do you not think Ran-D's vocals are immature and downright annoying though? The track itself is ok, but those horrible vocals ruin it for me.

Nuclear is so good! It could be a Qlimax anthem for me!! You're spot on with the amazing atmosphere

I can somehow live with it. I like Ran-D's voice and its just a fun, party tune, nothing serious.

Hmm, somehow this album is much better than what I expected! I'd give my best points for these tracks:

- Wolfpack
- Full Control: unexpected combination and judging by the result, more of these are required in the genre!
- 12FU: absolute favourite over there. Gives me the feeling of the old beloved Frequencerz melodies. Only pity is for the vocal, I don't like it.
- In The Club: oh yeah, that simplistic melody gets me. The way of Overdose and Monsters Inside Me are surely well accepted to be followed at me!
- Gods: to be honest, I was afraid at the first time looking at this collab, because the raw ones lately didn't really catch my attention, but this track was a very big surprise. Emotional meets raw :fist:
- Elevate: now it's proved that these guys can make something very enjoyable.

The rest is either boring or just bad for me. Possible to be in my top 5 of hardstyle albums this year, but there are too much months left still :)

Edit: my bad, I missed Nuclear.

I don't want to be that self repeating little whiny bitch, but FFS I'm getting really tired and pissed of these trend of ~3 min track lengths, edits on dedicated releases. (6) It's an artist album in the digital age, where the hell are the proper 5min < tracks with intro/outro?!! o_O
/rant


On regard of the album: this has been a pleasant surprise for me. :) Frequencerz were never my "keep a look out for" project, and I spared myself from any teaser possible.

Full control, 12FU, Embrace, In the Club, Gods, and Nuclear are my favs, I hope to hear similar more of these in the future :listen:

12FU: it has a really good 2008-2010 feeling to it. the vocals are quite stupid but hell, it's still nice
Shut Up: i usually don't like Ran-D's vocals but this one is okay
Gods: i'm glad it's not a screechfest. heavy kicks, nice vocals.
Elevate: best track on the album. the kick is especially good (dat pitching is the climax)

I often do this. I'll listen to an album, have an opinion and then leave it alone and not listen to any of the songs for a couple of months.

I've done this with this album and i've just listened to it again and i've had to improve my opinion of it! The Warface collab sounds so much better as does In The Club, Open Your Mind, Rockstar remix and I can just about bear to listen to Ran-D stupid screaming in Shut Up.

I also, still absolutely love Nuclear :D :fist: :fist: :fist:

An album that gets better with time! Like a fine wine! Before I'd have rated this album at 4.5/10 and now I'm giving it a 7! Still not amazing, but it's above average!

I love his voice, it's over the top for sure but then so is much of his music. I actually would like to see an event hosted by Ran D as mc. Think he would do a better job than most
