The Most Misleading/disappointing Beatport Samples

What are some tracks you've purchased which sounded great from the sample, but ended up horribly failing expectations upon listening to the entire thing?

You'd do well to ask Kismet, I hear he's a big fan of Beatport samples.

One more reason why DJ Download is better than Beatport!

I cant think of specific tracks of the top of my head but what I find annoying a lot of the time, is that you cant hear the intro or outro. I have bought many tracks from Beatport that sound great from the short sample but the intros/outros are an absolute mess.

I'll take sweet easy 1:30 intros any day
