Originally posted by Woony Stylistically I don't like everything he's done but his sound design just sounds SO fucking good when played loud, incredibly clear, simple and punchy. I think he might have the best technical production in techno when it comes to club tracks. I very rarely pull the 'you'll have to hear it in the club!' card but a Dettmann track only fully makes sense when you've heard it on a system. With most tracks I don't really change my mind after hearing them on a system but with a Dettmann track it's like night and day.

And there's the problem. Clear sign of a shitty track if it has to be heard on a 50k+ system to sound good.

Nothing on Resident Advisor that was rated 4.5, album or single, deserved that rating.

Well, I wouldn't say they sound bad played at home, just not as fantastic as on a system.

Out of hundreds of reviews with a 4,5 score, a lot of stone cold classics, absolutely nothing is actually good? Unless you hate everything that RA covers (and even then) that's quite an absurd statement to make. A few years back I went through the RA review archives, focussing mostly on reviews with a 4,5-5 and I found a tremendous amount of great music.

No, it is all bad and Sasha is still amazing.

Nothing from 2013-2014 impressed me. I go on RA all the time and will continue to do so. I've always been more impressed with the tracks rated 3.5 to 4 than anything that was 4.5.

Please enlighten me and teach me on how wrong I am about my "absurd statement". Post some examples of these amazing classics rated 4.5 from RA.

Do it. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

Well, for starters here's a recent review.

http://www.residentadvisor.net/revi...w.aspx?id=15033

I'd say that album probably deserves about that rating (PERSONALLY LOL). I bet a lot of people would disagree, some even tend to disagree in the comments to the review on RA! That's generally how reviews work.

2013 - 2014 didn't impress you? Well it impressed a lot of people. Even if you don't generally enjoy the music RA spends time reviewing, who cares? Who are you to say "Nothing on Resident Advisor that was rated 4.5, album or single, deserved that rating."?

Why bother with this?

No idea. Why bother with posting here in any capacity, period?

Some discussions are enlightening and entertaining. And then there's Nostalgic, still moaning about RA after six years.

I knowwww, but I'm never really in on those enlightening and entertaining threads. This is way easier.

I hope Zharen isn't here to read this, but real progressive house died in 1995
