I think that the approach that RBC and AATW are taking with this is that this album is setting out to appeal to a wider audience to make them more aware of hardcore.
Yeh, I've had a pop about including 'pretty green eyes', 'Set u free' etc. etc. but thinking about it, there are going to be lots of clubbers that haven't heard the hardcore mixes. It doesn't matter if they were hardcore tracks initially, as far as they are concerned they are regular club tracks that have just been ramped up for hardcore. It's all about luring them in and generating interest.
The first one broke sales records for a hardcore album, so that approach worked and basically if it ain't broke then they ain't gonna fix it. If you don't like it then don't buy it!
Sure, it's not going to appeal to all the current hardcore heads but it will certainly generate more awareness - don't forget that Hardcore Classics did VERY well for itself, so who knows what will happen?

Anno i'm not the only one that thinks this way but does anyone else on here think last year was the year big raves became shit, but at the same time a lot of smaller ones opened up or took off really catering for the hardcore?
I don't think there shit still enjoy them myself but are def. not as good as they used to be! Although the people are generally still friendly there seems to be more judgemental people there (or im gettin more paranoid ;)) and people who seem less into it than there used to be. Still enjoy them but smaller parties do tend to be better.

If it's at a decent speed I'm pretty sure I will enjoy it. Aslong as 'I Will Be' and 'Save Me' are on it I'll be happy...

Thats the way i see it mate it's still an alrite night, but i think i've just been spoiled for events the last while dont want to waste my money on things i just think are alrite. Raves should be nights you wont forget, it's the less up for it people that piss me off the most dunno just doesnt feel right in a rave.
So aye i'll rephrase that there not shit just not worth the money it costs to go for me anymore.

Is should be called Clubland X-Treme 3, not Clubland X-Treme Hardcore 2.
Hardcore is officially is the shitter.
(The artwork is good though)

I can see your point with the Clubland X-Treme 3 and not Hardcore, but have you heard the tunes on the first two X-tremes. Extreme is hardly the word I would use, I prefer "chav-ed up"
The genre's are completely different hence the change in name. It would have been more sensible to call it Clubland Hardcore to avoid confusion maybe

Hixxy has personally contacted me regarding the 160BPM comment on the album, he said that is it NOT 160bpm (as my news post reports as well).
