From a quick listen of course and some of these ok tracks could be growers i guess. Don't think there was any slow shit which is a big plus for HU.
Thanks for the list. I now know the ones you claim to be horrid are probably good and the ones you say are great are probably terrible:)

It's always fascinating how tastes differ even within a niche genre ;). Many of the tracks you like, I like too. But I also love some "bad" ones, even two of the "horrid" ones:
Jazakid - Dance Track
Getty & Noriken - Burnd out
The Grenzgaenger one is a really growing when just listened as single track. For one the original bpm fits the track more, on the other hand its 1995 gabber style sticks out in an odd way between all these more or less modern tracks.

Well it's personal opinion I'm expressing obviously. We don't always agree on what tickles our tummies.

*Review based on track selection, not dj skill*
Well, after grabbing the USB from Kevin Energy, so far, HU8 has been pretty underwhelming. Multiple 10/10 5 star tracks on the usb. I can't honestly say I found one 5 star or 10/10 track on saiyan or daniel seven's disk. You know. Tingles, goosebumbs, WOW, F**K me, etc.
Don't even try to pull the "nostalgia" card on my ass. Plenty of the tracks i rated highly on the USB I have never even heard. The vast majority of modern hardcore is just not up to par ( for me). No hate, just really different tastes i guess.
I would have liked to see some more kniteforce from saiyan, i'm buying 10/10 tracks from kniteforce all day. I also feel like Daniel seven's tracks were a bit more tame & less upbeat over all than I would expect.
I of course saved AOS for last, I know my boy do me solid ;) <3, will update after I go thru his.

If I ever put more than half a disc worth of Kniteforce-owned tracks on a compilation album like this, which is what I did, shoot me in the ****ing head.

Yea... Variety is dead if you keep playing tracks from the same label all the time...

Since it's a fun thread...
for starters, no Fracus & Darwin (shock! horror!!)
CD1. Transcend & Cyrax doing a remix disc of stuff like Castles in the Sky & the Faithless track they did! Would never clear licenses in real life but it would be awesome and draw in the mainstream listener.
CD2. DJ Sy's Killa Kutz - Like Hixxy on Bonkers 13, anthems except, mixed by somebody decent with some scratching
CD3. Brisk doing a 'digging deep' mix - Like those Bunter CDs but it would be good, like his radio shows on FB/Twitch with some rarely heard but bangingingly awesome choonage.
CD4. Cotts & Ravine - I missed them since Hardcore Addiction stopped, nice fun happy stuff mixed on 20 decks, not Virtual DJ.
Hey Graham
I'm back from travelling now and writing music again, I'm certain myself and Transcend will do another bootleg end of the year/beginning of January
Tremendous :D Will certainly keep an eye out for that!

Yeah I'm pretty bummed that we don't get a Fracus & Darwin mix. Quite a poor choice for the line-up if you ask me, Daniel Seven is good but a bigger name DJ is needed to supplement the other artists featured. Saiyan / Aos haven't made enough of a mark on the industry to yet warrant a place on HU of all things. In particular I've been impressed with Aos but he's still relatively to hardcore (at least to my knowledge). As others have mentioned some J-core would be really appreciated on future albums, Shimamura and Jakazid I'm always impressed with.

Shimamura mixed the previous volume alongside Al Storm, and when the first Hardcore Underground album was made back in 2006, no one was a "big name" back then.

I was going to say that...
'Can be a yay for a 4th in a roll mix by Fracus & Darwin, considering that they didn't stop to offer the Hardcore Heaven 6 and TSIHU2 mixes, excluding podcast'
But >personal preferences<
As I said (I don't remember if I wrote that but LOL), is okay HU8 does have some spotlight for the current masses. Already, Daniel Seven has done some awesome job during these years, but AoS and Saiyan is still new for me (I'll focus so soon guys).
Talking about >preferences<, JAKAZiD needs appear with 3 CD project, a mix with the best of his career, UK pure flavor and J-Core + UK style. It needs to be happen.

Hu Wholly own the HU album brand, so they can do whatever they want with it. And I doubt F&D would have had enough material to fill TWO whole albums so fairly close to each other...

I think we should all be thankful we got a mixed album in today's time of digital music, and all the tracks with the order. I think it's great to hear different DJs. Why would you want to hear F&D YET AGAIN on another disc, when there are 4 pretty recent releases (HH4, HH5, HH6, TSHU2), there needs to be room for new talent to be showcased. I'm sure they're well aware they won't please everyone, but we need to be a bit more thankful for what we do get. :)

I've just listened to each mix once from I got it, and I think I preferred aos disc, seems to be a few other peoples preferences as well, god knows when i'll listen to it again though
