© 2013 CD Review (Review #1,282) reviewed on 5.12.2013 by FrankieThaLuckyDog.
01.
Daft Punk Feat. Pharrell Williams “Get Lucky”
Signed
with major label Columbia Records (I promised I’d list tha labels). However, no
need to play it ‘cause it’s pathetic, belongs on MCE & Pharrell belongs
back in tha rap world, producing and doin’ choruses for others, like he did in
tha early 2000s!!! My Current Rating: 2.0
02.
Kelly Clarkson “People Like Us (Baggi Begovic Radio Mix)”
A
KC song with a content warning, lol? What, does she say, “Damn,” or somethin’,
lol? As always with her songs, signed with 19 Recordings / RCA Records.
>>> Actually, it sounds like a nice start, and I think I like it
better than her previous song (“Catch My Breath”), since I ignored that. Beat
sounds Benny Benassi-like; nice! Oh, I was right about tha “damn”—“damned” to
be exact, lol. Nice chorus and hot beat!! My
Rating: 4.3
03.
David Guetta Feat. Ne-Yo “Play Hard (R3hab Remix)”
Like
his stuff since “When Love Takes Over”, it’s signed with Astralwerks Records /
Capitol Records. I really like R3hab, but this song gets on my nerves, so this
remix might be a skip; let’s see… >>> Though it’s a DvD thing, it’s,
like, DvD sampling, but I still
consider it DvD. Guess it’s just house with just a chorus? Washing away all tha
Akon verses, lol! Ehh, I’d say this iz better than tha original version! Really,
this was 4:00 long? Sounded real short with only two parts + no Akon, lol! My Rating: 3.6
04.
The Aston Shuffle vs. Tommy Trash “Sunrise
(Won’t Get Lost) (Tommy Trash Radio Edit)”
Signed with Casablanca Records, which has been signin’ dance songs recently (such as “I Could Be The One” with Universal Republic Records). A new MCD song, but lemme do tha review now. >>> This one of those ‘typical’-soundin’ songs for me (male vocals and beats after tha chorus). I wanna hear a ‘typical’-soundin’ one with female vocals, though it might just be just decent for me. There’s plenty of male-vocal songs that are on tha ignore level for me; this doesn’t stand out too much for me, at tha moment… My Rating: 3.1

05.
Style Of Eye & Tom Staar “After Dark”
Spinnin’
Records song (e.g., “Cannonball”, “Molly”, “Amnesia”). Seems like a big dance
song, but it’s one of those typical songs for me. Might get tha ignore, or
barely played, especially since it’s gettin’ played more than I can attempt to
show it luv. My Rating: 2.8
06.
Raw Silk “Do It To The Music (Fedrico Scavo Radio Edit)”
NHI;
Ultra Music on tha signing… >>> Female vocals this time; let’s see how
it goes… Oh, I know this from mixshows or somethin’ (tha “so get down” line)…
Wow, really dry music for me. :( If it’s tryna be house with this chorus
repeating, it’s gotta do way better, like, “Out Of Touch” better!! Okay, added
instruments at 1:17, but that doesn’t stop tha boring music in tha background…
Prolly gon ignore it, but if it gets lucky to get in rotation with me, it
sounds like one of those late-nighters/songs played not that much… My Current Rating: 2.6
07.
Showtek & Bassjackers “Hey!”
Robbins
song. Follow up to “Cannonball” it looks like! MCD got it fast, so if
“Cannonball” was on here, they prolly would’ve gotten it, too! Lemme re-hear it
for tha review… Real nice beginning, but tha music dies after tha “Hey!” part.
However, it picks up a lil’ at 1:00, but not really on a “Cannonball” level for
me. Sounds like a peak at 2:00; nice lil’ IDS (Instrumental Dance Song) to go with tha collection! My Current Rating: 4.3
08.
Tommie Sunshine & Disco Fries Feat. Kid Sister “Cool Without You”
Somewhat
AL with TS
& KS; Vicious iz tha label (NSI—never seen it)… >>> Ick, what iz
this singin’? Used to her rappin’, and these vocals are just average for me…
Chorus iz on tha repetitive side, and tha music ain’t really all there… Pretty
short, lol. My Rating: 2.5
09.
Nervo “Hold On (Fred Falke Radio Edit)”
Likin’
tha original version, so let’s see if this song needed a remix… And, they’re
with tha same label as Guetta (Astralwerks/Capitol). >>> More like a
doozie from tha original version; sounds like deep house with tha music! Tha
original version has hot music parts for a near-soundin’ ‘typical’ sound.
Another disappointment for me, as I’ll just stay wit tha original version and
not even IC this version! My Rating: 2.3
10.
TJR “Ode To Oi”
No
AL here;
expectin’ some Pitbull-type shit since they were featured on his “Don’t Stop
The Party”. “I Could Be The One”’s label, here (Casablanca/Universal Republic).
>>> Disguised song/AL, lol? Some nice beats in tha beginning! Ehh, a
lil’ bit of a borer on tha chorus wit tha chanting. I was almost expectin’ a
“Cannonball” beat wit tha build up… :( A lil’ interesting, but really, 4:30 on
tha length? My Rating: 3.8
½time: I have to admit, though
this CD ain’t outstanding for me, I’m glad there’s, like, no HMs. Just tha
first 3 songs were HMs (well, DP should be MCE-like), but either way, lowest
½time rating for me, so far, on a PO review: 3.1
for tha CD rating…
11.
DJ Antoine Feat. Craig Smart & TomE “Bella Vita (DJ Antoine vs. Mad Mark
2K13 Radio Edit)”
Here’s someone with usually a low rating for me. Not sure what to expect; iz it gonna be a remake, based off tha 2K13 in tha ID? Of course, like his other songs, Ultra’s behind this one… >>> Liking tha beginning music, but tha vocals remind me of what I was expectin’ wit tha TJR song… Good chorus music here. Oh, even some rappin’; it ain’t that bad, but that chorus iz startin’ to catch onto me a lil’ more… Almost sounded like Pitbull before tha 2nd verse (like, a hidden “Whooooooooah,” or whateva he does before his verses). I liked tha 1st verse better; sounds like I’m hearin’ tha title a lot… My Rating: 3.9

EDIT: Tha uncredited features
are actually Craig Smart & TomE.
12.
Kosca “Love Will Find A Way
(Bastinado Radio Edit)”
An
Amathus Music song (label behind Rev-Players, Sophia Cruz); glad PO got another one of their signed songs! Never heard
this artist or tha remixer, so let’s see if some AL’ll pay off… >>> Wasn’t sure
about tha 1st 7 seconds, but I hear a hot female on tha vocals!
Almost sounds a lil’ like Dee Dee & tha music’s pretty nice, too! Finally,
somethin’ exciting, on tha NHI tip! Not sure if this song’s a lil’ long (3:48);
I’m tryin’ to stay interested, though it seems like tha chorus plays a lot… My Rating: 4.4
13.
Swanky Tunes & Peking Duk Feat. James McNally “You Are Like Nobody Else”
Another
Spinnin’ Records song, but a disappointment to me. P105 got it first, and I
ignored it ‘cause it’s on a typical level. Now, MCD got it ‘cause it’s on here,
and I’m just not into these repetitive vocals… Music ain’t bad, and there’s a
verse… No offense, but how many of these songs iz there? Some are good, but I
still think there should be at least one fast/Cascada/DJ Manian (yes!!) song on
here, to give tha people somethin’ different! Even if it’s just one; be
versatile, PO, and EDM world, lol! My Current Rating: 2.9
14.
Mat Zo & Porter Robinson “Easy”
Went
tha Guetta route with tha Astralwerks/Capitol label. P105 got it first and I’ve
been ignoring it ‘cause it was on a typical level, and even some MCD plays.
However, I do enjoy listenin’ to it on MCD and now that I keep gettin’ into
fights (smh), I might bring it into my playlist, finally, ‘cause I seem to just
keep listenin’ to my lower-rated songs than tha higher-rated ones. It seems
like life sucks, at tha moment, when I’m awaiting a job & sittin’ home all
day! Anyway, at least this iz quick and less-repetitive from MCD’s extended
mix. My Current Rating: 4.0
15.
Bouvier & Barona Feat. Abigail “Surrender (Sted-E & Hybrid Heights
Radio Remix)”
Lookin’
like some AL
for an Abigail comeback, although I hope it ain’t stale with these remixers on
tha mix. With tha remixers bein’ on tha mix, of course, Carrillo Music on tha
signing (Julissa Veloz, Rod Carrillo). >>> Nice start wit tha vocals;
hope tha music ain’t dry like this for tha whole beginning… Sounds like a good
chorus wit some hot music sounds; good, glad there’s no obvious disappointment
here! Music changed up at 1:19; ehh, a lil’ bit of a dry feeling… I would’ve
rather it’ve been a Calvin Harris-type sound after tha chorus. Tha 2nd
verse ain’t too bad, though a dry 2nd chorus? My Rating: 3.9
16.
Feed Me & Crystal
Fighters “Love Is All I Got (Friction Remix)”
Again
wit this gay song from tha last PO (ending
song)? Tha BPM caught me off guard (87), but that could mean a DnB style, too.
Either way, not lookin’ forward for this Columbia Records song… >>>
Yea, I can detect tha BPM style, since I’ve always known my DnB songs were
supposed to be 174 BPM (which iz 87 doubled). And, tha DnB always catches my
attention, so I can feel it! Oh, not really a DnB, but a DS breakdown… Tha
beginning music has a 174 feel, but tha DS breakdown’s 87… Still sounds nice on
tha beat, but still icky wit tha vocals! My
Rating: 3.4
17.
Wildstylez Feat. Niels Geusebroek “Year Of Summer”
Next
Plateau Entertainment on tha signing. With tha DJ bein’ named Wildstylez and tha
BPM bein’ 150, I would assume it’s on some Basshunter-type shit, here? Oh, for
tha love of God, if this iz some fuck-up song, then I give up with tha fast
songs’ ALs… But, I believe I’m excited! >>> Well, kinda what I
expected a lil’, a weak vocal start, but let’s see how it progresses… Nice
beat, here, and tha chorus sounds nice! What? Where’s tha bass? A lil’ dry with
tha bass and fast kicks, but still sounds real nice! Glad it’s true fastness,
but it’s like Basslesshunter, lol. My Rating: 4.2
18.
Sander Van Doorn vs. DubVision & Mako Feat. Mariana Bell “Into The Light”
Another
Spinnin’ song. MCD got this, but I don’t think it’s SVD’s true style (e.g., AVB
and his “This Is What It Feels Like” song, where it’s not even on a trance
level and iz tryna be mainstream). Lemme do tha review and see what’s up…
>>> Typical style, but with female vocals this time. People know SVD
for bein’ a bit of a trance/faster DJ. Some nice beats, here, and a lil’ bit of
vocals. Ehh, I guess this iz an exception; it’s okay, and I think it’s better
than a good portion of tha shit on here. My
Rating: 3.6
19.
Katia Nicole “The Girl Can’t Help It”
Parimore Music on tha signing (NSI). Wonder who this “girl” iz wit this DS BPM of 73… >>> Sounds a lil’ interesting in tha beginning, but sounds funny for a mix of DS, vocals like this, and a title like this. LOL, dark-soundin’ DS feel after tha chorus! Even though it’s catchy, I kinda lost it toward tha end, lol. My Rating: 3.8

20.
Mischa Daniels “Intergalactic”
Final
song on here. Of course, wit him, it’s Ultra signing… Iz this gonna be some
sorta Beastie Boys sample, especially since it’s already been a year since they
lost one of their members (MCA)? Lemme see… >>> Got tha progressin’
beat in tha beginning; might just be an IDS song! LOL, I was so wrong wit my
preview; interestin’ for an IDS song; sounds a lil’ familiar, since I’ve been
hearin’ quite a lot of mixshows on MCD, lately… My Rating: 4.0
Overall: I have to admit, as much
as I didn’t have that high of ratings, I like tha fact that there were, like,
barely any HMs! I think there were NONE on tha 2nd ½, lol! I think
that’s a 1st; R.I.P. HMs, lol! I don’t mind HMs goin’ outta style,
lol! If this iz tha way PO has to be, fine,
but for me, I like catchier songs that grab my attention instantly.
