Infected Mushroom - Legend Of The Black Shawarma {Perfecto Rec,/Hommega Rec.}

But you are not Infected Mushroom. So making a hypothesis on what actions you would take, "if" being Infected is utterly useless

To me the intention behind the making of a particular track or album has no effect on my listening experience, or the consideration if it is art or not. To me the present experience is art, it's life, it's vital. Music is art in the essence, regardless for what underlying resons it has been produced. This is my humble opinion.

that was a hypothesis. I mean, talking in simply words, that remix is good because original song is strong. It is so strong that the rest of tracks can be percieved as weak.

but i hope you can imagine that somebody record a music to earn money, right? I easly can. Things you are talking about:it's life, it's vital, music is art in the essence etc don't apply on such state.

Personally I find this Infected Mushroom "slagging trend" pretty uncool, but it's also unavoidable I guess.

Every artist, whenever he or she make their art public, they basically give the public the rights to "lynch" them in case they have disappointed their followers.

I would, however, expect from the crowd to be a little more "grown up" ( am I crazy, it's the same crowd that prefers to drop "E" that lasts for 5 hours anytime, instead of spending the same exactly amount of money and buy their favorite artist album... ).. Yeah and as a "grown up" let your old idols, do what they want or decided to according to their personal interests and wishes... When Infected started making music, they never signed a contract that makes them liable to make just specific genre, and stay there. Where they go from that moment in time, is totally their choice...

And accordingly, if I must go there, then unlike all the bashing here, they fill up big clubs and play all over the planet.. Again, some may slag them again for making cheesy music and all, but the bottom line is simple and I guess this is what really annoying some of the people writing here.

I am not an Infected fan btw, I really admire their talent, unfortunately most of what they do is not my cup of tea ( Smashing The Opponent is killer pop song btw, anyway you turn it, I was personally singing it for couple of days after I heard it on the radio ), I just dislike all this "blind" hatred and slagging just cuz its cool and trendy to go down on someone.

Well this is the point exactly - better than what?

Sound production of this album is second to none. Please choose your favorite artist of today and he doesn't stand a chance, his level of production would sound totally amateur when you play his stuff versus this.

And the compositions inside? Well, Infected are not making psy trance for ages now, maybe its just the time to move on. For a trance head especially with underground orientation, this music might sound completely off and even annoying, but some ppl that are not from the "scene" might find it cool. And if I am not mistaken, THAT is where Infected heading. They are performing alot in the States, as you maybe know, the Trance scene in the US is almost non existant. So the play in front of the same crowd that likes Brittney and EMINEM, and I do believe that their goal goes out to those crowds rather than the Psy Trance underground.

At least those crowds buy the music they like!!
