Oh great, another post on Trance Addict bashing Trance.
It's not even constructive criticism anymore. It's the same guys who have moved on to other genres who bash Trance.
So all your favorite Techno producers always produce good stuff? Cuz of lot of their stuff sounds redundant, boring, and uncreative.
All of your House producers always make top notch shit? Cuz what I've noticed with House music is someone releases a decent sound then everyone jumps on that bandwagon with the same vocals, or the same melodies, same BPMs, etc. Tribal, Tech House, Electro, Tektonik, etc. all come to mind.
Then you've got all those Diva House records that sound like an updated version of the Weather Girls. You ever wonder why some gay guys like to say things like "Honey, you are not goin out like that". It's b/c they love listening to 300 pound black divas that talk like that in their songs. Sorry, I know it's not politically correct.
All of your Psy-Trance producers make amazing music? Cuz half the Psy Trance tracks I've heard all start out exactly the same for the first 3 minutes, and half the time those songs either go nowhere, or or use the same exact beat.
And Progressive producers? Half the time you're wondering if you're gonna fall asleep midway through these semi-mellow tracks, or why they even bother calling it Progressive if there's nothing progressive about them.
Trance Producers? Take all of the above criticism and it may hold true for Trance at times, but you know what? As someone whose been listening to Trance and House for a very long time what I like about Trance is that you can always find some good melodies/hooks around, it can always give you that feel-good high energy sound, you can usually find some decent vocals that fit in with many of these tracks (without vocalists who sound sedated), and the production quality is high and consistent.
That's why Trance is still around, and still hooking new listeners everyday.
