I've skipped through all of the cd's checking out the tracks & I've only found a handfull of good sounding tracks so far.
The mix I'll give a proper listen ot first I'd say would be the Brown & Gammer mix, not to club sounding & not too free form sounding. The standout track for me is Adam Harris - Hyperspeed (Sy and Unknown Remix) so bouncy and full of energy.
I'll give the whole thing a proper listen later.

I've just bought it now.
I have to say the packaging looks very... girly. What with all the pink and sparkles.

My guess is a play on Red Bull style energy drinks (Maximum Hardcore energy!)

*moved from other topic*
After listening to the samples from Bonkers 16, I am dissapointed. 
Samples:
http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/226079-01.htm&highlight=bonkers
I mean, this is junk! Crappy cover and the music in it isn't much of a hurray...
This is a no-buy for my part.
*edit*
Okay, after first reaction, I'll write what I think.
CD1
Some good tunes there alright, but uhm the whole cd is just... no.
CD2
Sharkey has had much better cds than this one, IMO this one is of the worst on bonkers...
CD3
Some nice tunes, but I noticed that most of the tunes are about 1-2 minutes long.
(Worse than SB's B14)

With all this negative feedback will we see a Bonkers 17? I am fairly happy with it so far. Takes me time to get into Sharkey's CD, always does.
P.S. Re-Con - Report to the bass line, sounds like Re-Con is on a budget and using his pots and pans.

I love it. As per usual the first CD is the best. I'm pleased this one had less/no gabba on it :D

Listened to most of it now, only half way through Brown's & Gammer's mix.
Hixxy & Re-Con's mix seemed very much forgetable, with the odd exception of a few tunes it's all very "meh". As was said by a few people, Report To The Bass Line is goddam awfull.
I was suprised how much I liked Sharkey & CLSM's mix, not usually my thing. Sounded a bit weak & hard trance esq in places, other than that it's all good.
Brown's & Gammer's mix sounds good so far, Squad-E's mix of 24/7 is awfull, it doesn't deserve to be pressed as a release imo.
All in all 7/10
