Why do you apologize. I almost think it's some sort of a crime to like something that's generally being disliked these days. BTW I absolutely agree with you.
Agreed. Its okay to have a different opinion, everyone is an individual no need to hate something just because X person hated it. That being said, I listened to the track in the second post of this thread and to be honest It was crap. That singing was god awful and while I don't mind rap, for god sakes do it right. What the hell happened to OC remix?! I mean Project Chaos is to this day one of the best Video Game remixes of all time. Maybe the talent pool shrunk or something.
It's been said before in the thread, but Project Chaos was not only OCR at its prime, when everyone on the site did more than just trance, but it had a TON of outside talent working on it as well. Much like how most of the FF albums they have are crap, except the FF6 one, again because of experimentation and outside talent.
It seems like it. A community always need fresh blood so things don't get stagnant and end being one huge circlejerk. It seems OCR is the victim of that.
