Ranking Monstercat 003 - Momentum

lots of difference in opinions this time compared to 2022!
Monstercat’s 3rd compilation ‘Momentum’ released shortly after ‘Early Stage’, on October 4, 2011. Another 15 old-style tracks, featuring a few new names such as Hellberg and Mr FijiWiji. leave a comment if you’re excited for the rest of this series!
OVERALL COMP RANKING (/10):
1. 003 - 4.77
2. 002 - 4.67
3. 001 - 4.21
this is all my opinion, and i don’t tolerate blatant disrespect towards artists in my comments. by all means you’re allowed to have a least favourite but be respectful about it! don’t be bashing me about the ranking either, it’s not gospel truth and you should enjoy what you want without being judged :D
if you do end up enjoying the music, go check it out wherever you get it! each song title is shown in the video :) it helps the artist(s) a ton so why not stream/buy/download? :D

0:40 3:25 ‘Tearout’ and ‘Tearout Dubstep’ are, for the record, NOT the same: Tearout: popularised by the likes of MARAUDA, this heavy style of modern dubstep blends heavy elements of sound design such as machine gun basses and powerful drums. Tearout Dubstep: Tearout dubstep is an early style of dubstep with an emphasis on aggressive midrange sound wobbles. Its main features are more simplistic / minimalistic, with very distorted basses created from basic waveforms. It later evolved into Brostep.

@@eddierankings i take all genres from an external source, none of its done myself i’ve taken them from the site and done reading based off of them, making this comment to discern the difference to people who may have been confused

[@dankmanbeingapan]

At this point this is 2011 best compilation, and the compilation followed up is the worst

[@Wolfhound_Bass]

This one doesn’t exactly hold up the best 😅

[@zadinx]

not really, but better than the last two imo!

Alright ill play along... #15: Atlas's ugly little brother. I despise the rawrs and screechiness (1/10) #14: I can follow the melody a bit but it's mid af (3/10) #13: Boring but still listenable (3/10) #12: It is funny lmao ill give it that but it just feels too repetetive (2.75/10) #11: Dubstep sound design is decent if used correctly, thats what this song nails at (5/10) #10: Guilty pleasure here, I remember how much I was addicted to this song in 2020 (6.75/10) #9: Agreed. I like the chillness of it but it's forgettable (5.5/10) #8: Unfortunately that is all the song offers which is kinda disappointing (4/10) #7: Catchy sound but it gets boring real quick (6/10) #6: I do not find it interesting... thats all im gonna say (3/10) #5: It is a bop but I like the vocals better than the sound (6.25/10) #4: I gave this song a relisten and I pretty much enjoyed the drops. (6.5/10) #3: The well flowed random sounds do not make it any catchier in my opinion (4.75/10) #2: It is cookie cutter, but at least for its time, it was well made (5.75/10) #1: My hot take with trance songs is that they're repetetive but this has a good type of repetetiveness (6/10) Good luck with that ❤️🙏 (005, 007, and 008 are the ones ive enjoyed out of the first ten albums) I usually don't find most of the songs worth my time up until 011 and I start loving them at 016 (and beyond), but 022 and beyond is where I feel that Monstercat has got its stuff together and became more consistent.
