Am I the only one who has this weird obsessive hate for bpm changes? If I'm listening to a track preview on beatport, and it's the best thing I've ever heard, but then there's a subtle 2-3 second BPM change, I won't even consider buying it, and I won't ever look at that track again.

I think what you mean is when people add in an element at a faster rate, such as moving from eighth notes to sixteenths. And if that pisses you off, well... get used to it. It's used a lot in trance as an alternative to the key change in an effort to give the song an "uplifting" feel.
Jam & Spoon - Follow Me has a ridiculous pitch change.

Moby - Thousand
It goes from slow, to hella fast, to slow, and back again. It's apparently in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest track ever recorded, although I don't know if it holds up to that standard nowadays or not.
the review
"144 - 228 beats per minute in one tune.
"Impossible!" I hear the cries; "It'll never work!" shouts the crowd. "Ahhh," I reply "it's by Andy Farley and BK. Then all I hear is silence because everybody knows whatever this pair attempts; it works. Not only does it work but also it turns out to be one of the biggest records of the year.
The tune itself starts with a tribal feel, layering lush percussion and building the foundations of something that you know is going to kick off in style. Add a Steven Hawking style vocal and things really start to pick up. The bass kicks in and the bpms start to pick up pace. The track keeps a modest and minimal approach still building further before reaching it 228 destination. Nukleuz's most successful production duo reintroduce the vocal and begin yet another tantalizing break that concludes in giving us the track in its full glory. Unfortunately from here on in the energy is all but spent and the track plods along with no real ambition. However, that should not deter you from getting this groundbreaking piece of Hard Dance."
Tbh Accelerate was a bit crap, aside from the novelty factor, and even after the huge breakdown (for hard house,) I don't feel it recovers from the slow down to 150 bpm or whatver again.
