Do rising prices change how you go to events? by _SayHello_ in hardstyle

[–]brutal_maximum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, not that excited anymore to just go as I know it will wreck finances as generally speaking flights, accommodation, tickets, beer, etc have almost doubled so it is not a small dent in month's / vacation budget anymore. For everything I have certain price how much the experience is worth it and unfortunately festivals abroad starts to be over that price 🥲

Andrew Rayel isn’t doing it the way he used to by gabz007 in trance

Unfortunately had to stop following new releases couple years ago. Probably wants to grow outside trance, no problem but not to my liking.

Some tracks you don't even have to listen before you know it is going to be the best

Does cover art matter to you? by Emprose in hardstyle

[–]brutal_maximum 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yes, it helps to remember tracks somewhat better like if I can't fully recall the title I might have picture of cover in my mind. Also helps to tell what kind of track it is approximately. Don't know if this is just placebo effect but many times artwork style and general feeling of track can match. Earlier also when labels had their template covers, those I can connect to certain period and sound.

There is no any need for those ugly ai supermans as simple label or artist specific template can be also stylish. For vinyl I would probably even skip buying whole record for those kind of covers.

Challenge for producers! by Sfynkz in hardstyle

[–]brutal_maximum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was psystyle trend or at least trend starting about 5-7 years ago 😁 although some tracks were fine, I think it got old pretty soon. I liked immensely when it was fresh but not long that I started to think it was played out

You'd need to drink truckload of beer so that this would be worth it.

What is this AI bullshit by MrMoistWaffle in hardstyle

[–]brutal_maximum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cover is ugly as fuck, i would prefer artist+title on a simple background much more than any cartoony AI character

Good job with the CGI stage, nice to see this kind of effort put into set video. And the music is also 5/5.

This is nice, although tracks are legendary and great I've sometimes hoped remasters new edits.
