Do you like it?

Browse Saiko Sounds listen to their 4 minute samples, see what you like & start a collection of those. It's a better collection if you like the music

I wouldn't mind the deadline being extended as there are plenty of 2007 releases I haven't listened to yet.

Do you like badly played guitars in trance? Do you like the same tired basslines? Do you like cheesy euro pop samples? Would you buy an album with where the last track was a 24 minute mix of old tracks and even one from earlier on the album? if not then yes it really is that bad. if you do then *points and laughs*

That doesn't even come close. As bland & uninspired as that was, at least the guy seemed like he tried. 1200 Mic's - Magic Numbers was just an insult, a big shit in to the faces of their fans.

Why?

Well I like all that and that! So I guess I have broader taste than you I like every musical genre. There is always good music that I enjoy in every genre. For a while I thought I didn't like country but I heard some that I like eventually. Can't remember the name though. Psy, like every other genre, has many sub genres all that can produce good music that I will like. Some I think produce music I like more regularly than others but that means my artist taste is not so broad. My genre taste is as broad as possible as it encompasses everything.

Sweet!

Seriously?

Marijuana is on there 1st album. The albums progressively get worse culminating in this awful piece of rectal sputum. What really pushes it as the worst though is the stupid mix track at the end which is a real waste of anyone's cash. I almost want to urge people to steal this & then delete it. So they can feel like they are screwing 1200 Mic's how they have screwed us with this album. Of course I wouldn't recommend actually listening to it.

Well peruse this thread and get an idea what to steer clear of

Well the year is up! 2007 is now history. People are thinking about what were the best releases & I'm sure there will be an official best of 2007 thread & poll etc but what about the flip side. What were the most pathetic excuses of music you were unfortunate to hear from 2007? Which were the laziest, devoid of anything other than cut & paste whatever else was popular? In short what were the worst albums of 2007? Note 1 This is not just pure negativity, don't come in here with your hippy bullshit about only focusing on the good aspects of everything & threads like this bringing the mood down. There are crap albums out there that people need to be made aware of. The biggest danger is when an artist that once was good has started releasing pure generic garbage. Just if you are saying something is bad at least try to say why you don't like it. Likewise if you disagree with someone who hates an album instead of having a go at them why don't you just explain why you like it. Note 2 I know there was a similar thread around october last year but it was premature & had a poll with not enough choices in, including my choice. So with that said here's mine 1200 Mic's - Magic Numbers Here's my full review clicky here's my summing up

Congrats man! But number 2 was Talamasca

Oh yes! So bad Read my review here

1200 Mic's Magic Numbers TIP.World 2007 Tracklist 1 The Magic Numbers Theme (4:07) 2 Numberstruck (6:07) 3 Let's Get This Party Started (6:32) 4 God Of Rock (6:40) 5 This Is A Joint (6:56) 6 Double Helix (6:19) 7 Numbers Are Alive (24:51) Well, the master of cheese are back again. In my opinion their cheese started off really well with their drug themed album 1200 Micrograms but got progressively worse over their next to albums with their sound sounding lazier with more predictable sounds & the cheese got from fun to a little bit shit. In 2006 though they released a track called Dances Between Worlds on Raja Ram presents Evolution of Expanded Consciousness which made me think that these guys actually had some talent and were capable of making a good album again. So when this was released with only 7 tracks, my interest peaked. I thought there might be some lengthy intricate tracks. When I got the CD I found that the last track was a near 25 minute monster I really thought it might be great. One. The Magic Numbers Theme We start of with quite a funky beat & some cheesy sample about magic numbers. Following that sample are some twisted vocals saying Magic Numbers & then some guy just saying numbers. Not a bad track but it's boring, gets a little better towards the end with some nice melody & some flute but as it's so short it never develops into anything. Two. NumberStruck Starting off with guitar chords & sounds of a crowd is never the best start in my book. The beats are full throttle & the bassline extremely familiar. It moves a little bit but not in a particularly interesting direction. This is basically your typical thought free fullon that has plagued the scene for a few years. Trance by numbers. It has energy, may sound okay on the dancefloor but not for home listening. It would have been nice if they had kept with the beats they use on the breakdown instead of coming back in with the heavy beats & had not used the sample This is our tribe, our time is now, dropped the awful guitar cords & the crowd noises & the lalalala. Basically this would sound a whole lot better if it was 6 minutes of silence. Pure shite! This cheese could easily be in your 8 year old sisters pop collection in it's lack of anything interesting or innovative. Three. Lets Get This Party Started This actually starts with some pretty cool sounds. Slow flute & some nice dripping sounds. Then the beat kicks in & there are some fun sub beats but the bassline is another retrodden & dominating piece of crap. To be fair it's different from the awful NumberStruck with nice synth work & I'm sure this would sound pretty good live. The bassline manages to have a little bit of energy & the trance rolls probaly make crowds go wild. An OK fullon track ruined by more guitar cords & a cheesy cheesy sample repeating the track title. Drop those it would be OK but they are just too much for me to take. With 2 and a half minutes to got they introduce some kind of Hawaiian part melody that just takes the cheese to whole new levels. This one didn't start off to badly but it descends into god awful cheesy pop shite. It's horrible by the end. Four. God Of Rock I guessed by the track title that this would have guitars in it. I was not though expecting lyrics. The guitars amazingly don't appear in the first two minutes but that plus point is nowhere near making up for the terrible vocals. Usually when I hear female vocals, I don't like them but think the woman can sing. This one can't, well not very well. The slight mysticism that can be obtained is completely lost here. Around 2 minutes in the obvious guitars come in dragging this nightmare down a little further & then a comedy (stand up) sample including the laughter drags it passed rock bottom, through several layers of shit & into a realm of pure crap. Amazingly the God of Rock manages to drag this down even lower than I thought was humanly possible. I am at this point wanting to have my ears plugged up forever in case I ever accidentally have to listen to this again. Five. This is a Joint Points must go to this track for the worst track title of the year. This is a Joint. Well thanks for telling us. Well, track in itself starts of quite well with some alright acoustic guitar, flute that sounds mystically eastern & some pretty cool beats. When the fullon stuff kicks in it doesn't completely ruin it either. The foot is off the pedal a little & there are a lot more cool & interesting sounds used. The bassline moves in a fun way but the we don't need no control & This is a joint samples which are repeated are pretty shit. The sort of stuff that appeals to young teens just getting into Weed. These guys probably think, Awww awesome dude, they talk about drugs & taking drugs, they are so cool & rebellious. This stuff is awesome! They push the boat & sample stuff our parents would find offensive What you little kids don't understand is that your parents were probably into much more drug related music in their time. Ever heard Bob Dylan's lyrics? Now there is some drug references with music that is way more trippy than this could ever be. Just putting cheesy as drug shit in a track does not make it cool or anti establishment, it just makes it cheesy & shit. Six. Double Helix This track actually starts with nice melody & a really nice beat. The bassline kicking in doesn't ruin it & actually adds some decent energy. Nice enough synths drive it. Nothing special, nothing great or even good but after all that has preceded it, it's a joy to behold. There are no guitars, there are no terrible samples, there is just music. And nice bland uninspired music that wont be etched on my brain as the worst thing ever. Such a shame that this bland boring track is by far the best on the album. Seven. Number Are Alive Now this is the track that really really pissed me off. This is the track that proves that 1200 Mic's are lacking in ideas & just want to release an album & make some quick cash. The near 25 minute monster is nothing more than a mini mix of their older tracks played live. Incorporate some sounds of the crowd & you have the laziest damn piece of music to have been released in a long time. This is the reason I will never buy a 1200 Mic's album again. This is the eppitomy of pointless crap. If you don't have enough new material to release on an album then why the fuck did you bother releasing an album? Could you have waited until you had enough new material to fill a CD. Do people really want to hear the same track that appear on your previous albums mixed together with crowd noise? Well looking at TIP.World's website, yes they do. But I don't think much of these people's musical taste if they are blown away by this laziness. I would guess if they are not the teenagers I spoke about earlier then they are the 20 somethings that take too many e's wear short sleeve shirts 6 go to trendy club/pubs where they'll turn you away at the door for wearing Trainers. None of this is about the music. It's about a scene, about drugs, about money & shit but it's not about the music. If it was, then this megamix wouldn't be here. Obviously this music is not my cup of tea & people will tell me I'm bitter because I'm just not into it. But I know here that I am right. Releasing an album where almost half of it is just your old material show no respect for the fans. The music as it is there old stuff is actually not too bad but for fuck's sake I've already got it!!!!! The worst part, yes it gets fucking worse is that they actually at the end of this mix include NumberStruck! Yes track Two from this album. We just heard it you stupid mother fuckers! Did you think we had forgotten than cheesy ass bassline & horrible sample that makes me want to rip out my eyes & pour lemon juice into the wounds just to distract me from the pain of having to listen to it. To include it twice on the same album is pitiful. Pitiful! Well, this whole album was just a cheap marketing ploy designed to ensnare weak minds like myself with their competition to solve their magic number puzzles & win an Ipod with the whole TIP back catalogue on it. I didn't play. I have an Ipod & I have the good TIP releases anyway. I just hope that whoever won the Ipod was able to delete this piece of shit album from it. The opening track has potential that it never reaches, the next four tracks are god awful guitar & sample ridden nightmares, the sixth track is a pleasant enough bland fullon track with nice melodies but it's the last track that is the worst thing 1200 Mic's have ever done. Just adding 25 minute live mix is lazy & disrespectful to anyone stupid enough to buy this CD. I truly wish i hadn't spent my hard earned money on this. CDs are expensive in Japan & all I got was a short track, a bland track, 4 terrible tracks & a mix of music I already own. Thanks for nothing 1200 Mic's I will never part with money on your lazy half baked crap ever again. Do us a favour & stop making this crap. If I hear this at a party you were not advertised as being at or it comes on the radio I will consider suing you for emotional distress. My advice to anyone who wants to buy this album is DON'T!!!!!! Don't even bother downloading. It's the worst album of the year by far. Worse even that Bamboo Forest's Revival album released in 2005. At least that was an album in a style someone might enjoy. This is just lazy shit that should never have been released. This is the lowest TIP have ever gone. I had hope after Raja Ram presents Evolution of Expanded Consciousness but this has made me lose all hope with the way TIP are going.
