Bad remixes.

[Glorious Maniac]

Don't you hate it when you play a remix of a song you like and it's nowhere near as good as the original?

Case in point: Drop the Bomb System S.F. Mix: This song doesn't sound much like the original and isn't very good. For all the playing I did, I didn't think it was halfway decent!!!

Another letdown was Drop Out (from nonstop megamix). This is a good song, but the steps are complete weaksauce compared to the original's.

What other remixes weren't as good?

I actually thought that the System S.F. Mix of Drop the Bomb was much better than the original. The remix to Drop Out was slightly better than the original. Some remixes I didn't like were the remixes to My Summer Love and Wild Rush.

I think the drop the bomb remix is much better, its got that trancy element to it that I like.

[Mini-Afro-Joe]

wild rush remix was pretty horrid as if id say... Everytime i think of this song it reminds me of Mossimo doing a freestyle and using the bar to act as if it were a stripper pole... God that was funny

Wild Rush Remix is okay, but it's not my favorite remix. The steps are way too easy to pass on Heavy Singles or Doubles.

Drop The Bomb System SF is a song that requires time for you to tune your ears to. It sounded horrid the first time I heard it too (and this is the last unlock after 200 songs?!), but then after playing it enough times I got used to it more than the original, even though I still think the ending makes no sense whatsoever (not that the original had a satisfactory ending to begin with).

I miss all the tempo changes in the Wild Rush remix. Besides Sakura, I don't think there had ever been a DDR song that makes as much tempo changes as Wild Rush, and yet they didn't take advantage of that special aspect about Wild Rush in Max2, and made a blend and uninteresting remix instead.

But for the most part, remixes usually do sound better than the original...

I think the remix of Ecstasy is cool, but i like the steps for the regular one better (mainly the 16 beat pause of happiness )

Burnin' The Floor (Momo Mix): Doesn't really add much for an already played out song.

Paranoia Survivor: Very challenging, but sounds virtually the same as the rest of the Paranoia's

Trip Machine Survivor: Somebody in another thread suggested that Trip Machine should be named "Noise Machine". Trip Machine Survivor doesn't improve on it's predeceser's problem.

Dynamite Rave (Down Bird Sota Mix): The most played out song gets a remix that doesn't even compare to the original, yay!

Tsugaru (Apple Mix): Basically the original Tsugaru with missing instruments. Basically has all the life sucked out of it.

Maxx Unlimited & Legend of Max: The Paranoia serie's problem is that they all sound pretty much the same. The problem with the Max 300 remixes is that Maxx Unlimited is incredibly bland. And that Legend of Max is somewhat bland, but just isn't as well paced and doesn't have much rhythm.

Cutie Chaser (Morning Mix): Pretty much the same as the original, only not quite as good.

Drop The Bomb (System S.F. Mix): A remix of a fast paced and exciting song turned into a trancey song. The problem is that the trance elements don't have any inspiration and just comes off as a bland version of the original.

Healing Vision (Angelic Mix): I really wanted to like this song. The idea for an even more fast paced Healing Vision is pretty cool. However it is too repetitive for it's own good.

Orion .78 (Civilization Mix): I can hardly consider this music, it's just a simple beat with somebody pretty much singing to themself. The original was awesome, this remix gives it a very bad name.

Dynamite rave b4 za beat mix > all other dynamite raves

Oh my god, the orginal orion .78 is SOOOOOOO bad, the remix isnt much better, but its an improvement nonetheless.

[Captain-Invincible]

I have to agree with what seems to be the running discussion in this thread.

Drop The Bomb: Excellent, powerful song, really gets you going.

Drop The Bomb S.F. mix: Poor. Others have claimed it's not poor, just trancey. The thing is, trance music is also, in general, very poor.

Luv 2 Me Disco Mix. I -hate- it. I also hate Healing Vision Angelic Mix. The song gives me a head ache, and the steps are too shuffly to be fun.

I'm glad no one has said Higher -next morning mix- because that song is awsome and really fun to play.

[Glorious Maniac]

BTF Momo Mix is awesome! Listen to it, they even redid the lyrics or something!

Pssst...according to the DDR Max BPM-O-Meter, HVAM is the same speed as HV...196 bpm. I liked Healing Vision because of the vocals and the general way that this song was really fast, but was still very calm and somewhat deep. Angelic Mix ruins that with the blasting drum beats (the original had that soft synthbass and snare thing) and the obnoxious "Beep! Beep!"

I kinda liked Trip Machine Luv Mix, but Trip Machine Climax was just an out-of-tune soundfest.

Wild Rush remix has no tempo changes? That song's nothing without the tempo changes!

What I said was, in terms of difficulty and overall "Look at me, I'm doing Drop Out!"-ness, the remix doesn't compare to the original. There's nothing hard in that song except the reenactment of the 8th note quads, and with all the life bar I had I probably didn't have to do them. I missed 4 steps sightreading it. I wouldn't have a problem at all with doing so good on an easy cata if the original hadn't been so much cooler. Anyone remember those jumps? Man those looked cool when you did them backwards in front of a crowd!

Hm... I actually enjoy all the remixes of the originals.. except Orion.78 Civilization, of course. The Ameruo Mix was good, I still like it, but the Civ. mix? Uh-uh. No way. Gross.

If anyone says ANYTHING negative about Still In My Heart -Momo Mix-, I will be severely mad. Same with the Ecstacy midnight blue remix.

Dynamite Rave(Down Bird Sota) is lame..
Afronova(FNM) is dull, takes away the song's energy..
Do It Right(Harmonized 2-Step) isn't very good, and Do It Right didn't need a remix in the first place..
