No point being constructive here. The bloke won't change even if he does read what you say.
The mix is gash in every regard.

I'll give you that. I guess I refer more to people that could actually use the feedback.

I guess always searching for a positive changes your entire outlook on things. Like if I ever feel negative about something, I stop and search for the positive. I've studied NLP and listened to Tony Robbins a lot though...
EDIT - NLP is Neuro-Linguistic Programming

He he. That reminds me of something I said to a bouncer carrying a gate once... I said "Why the long fence?"

I also went up to a bloke in a wheelchair at a rave back in the early days once and said "Good on ya mate" and shook his hand. He looked at me like I'm a right prick! Sometimes it's best to keep silent, even if you have something positive to say LOL. *Grabs coat* TAXI

It seems absolutely ridiculous to try and offer 'the worlds best hardcore MC' any kind of advice on how it could be made better but since we're going down the route of 'being constructive' then my advice would be 'Re-record it, try to actually say the words in time with the music. Don't pretend to be jamaican, it sounds very silly. Maybe if you have trouble saying fitting the words into the beats/bars then perhaps use less of them'

It's complete toss, off beat for most of the time, can't fit in all the words without it sounding like a garbled mess. 21 minutes is the absolute worst thing I've heard in a very long time
I Tweeted Calvin Harris a review of every release he has made, since I started hounding him. I didn't review his new track though, as I couldn't find enough positive words to say about it.
You really should review it. Put him out his misery.
As for storms mixtape. I'm astounded that its so average. Whats even more astounding is the fact he let this go out. It just simply isn't good enough. Lyrically. Creatively. Musically.
Ive seen Storm a few times now & there's no doubt he does a good job of commanding the stage & hyping the crowd, but it seems thats where his talents stop as this mixtape clearly demonstrates.
I did read that his vocals were recorded separately from the mix which would explain the awful flow, but once again it begs the question. Why? Why did he let this go out?
Love or hate the new direction Styles, Gammer & co are taking Hardcore, there's one thing you cant fault, & that's their never ending desire to continually raise the bar. Clearly Storm lost his grip a long time ago & was thankful to be clung to their coattails.

I don't want to look like a dick criticising something I could only dream of making myself.
I think what the mixtape has done, is REALLY expose how MC Storm naturally MCs. Which sometimes is a lot of words in a passage. He gathers his pace back again and remains on time afterwards though. There's not a point where he loses his timing completely.

To echo my earlier sentiment, too much meanlingless praise has gave him a "this'll do" attitude. He could have purposely made it as bad as he possibly could and the same people would have been piling on the same sycophantic hollow compliments. And he knows better than to pay attention to bad-negative comments, he will simply write them off as "haters".
Do we know if the mix is available on its own, sans-Storm, so to speak?

I honestly believe the mixtape is MC Storm at his best. He wouldn't have released it otherwise. Just the clarity has truly exposed his sometimes complicated style of MCing.
I played the drums for 10 years, so I like to see myself as a master of timing. Storm bounces around like nobody's business and sometimes makes some very complicated timing hits through his words, all pretty much bang on time.

I'd not say he isn't good at what he does, hell I couldn't do it. But what he does belongs in a rave. I can even forgive the timing. It's not poetic rap or anything like that, it's MC lyrics for a rave. Laying these over a mix, with the vocals twice as loud as they should be, just doesn't belong anywhere, he doesn't have anything to prove to the people this is aimed at. Just listen to some sets he is on. Or at least make a point of recording this mix live.

You don't need to think like that, I can watch someone play football badly and objectively state that they're doing a bad job. I can't play football to save my life.
(I actually can't tell a bad footballer either because I don't know anything about football, but yeah :)

I see what you're saying. Maybe MC Storm felt pressure to make a mixtape demonstration, after seeing what his competition are doing. Putting the usual balance he enjoys out of whack. Even with all the negativity, I still feel it's a very good demonstration of his MCing abilities. The volume understandably raised on the mic, so he can show off his skills to the max.
