I am loving this, downloaded at the speed of light at work!
First pass at the tracks and there was nothing I thought was rubbish, couple of gems I will go back to straight away! Loading to my iPod to give it a proper listen on the train home.
Bonus tracks as well! Money well spent IMO. First hardcore of 2017 (for me) is sounding pretty good!

Sound. Yeah to be honest I thought I'd just get something out super quick and cash in on the extra plays/follows for being first

this might be me streaming the album to work (its a private server so no one can connect to it) at 56kb, but that kick sounds crappy if you ask me. I do like how unprocessed it sounded back in the 90's but with a "clean" sound and added dirt just to make it sound different? annoys my ears tbh. Makes the speaker sounds damaged.
And no, it's not my speakers at work, I felt the same when I listened to arp'z sample before I left for work at home.

My highlight was getting unmixed One & Only. Take that as you will.
I certainly didn't expect to hear tracks like "Let's Get This Started". Sounds like any generic modern hardcore tune to me.
When you're asking people to blind buy something so expensive, you generally have to deliver what they're expecting. Clearly, based on some of the comments on here, he did that. Not for me though.
I got to "Shutdown", heard the breakdown and thought "this is it: the late '00s Blatant Beats is coming out" and then nahhh. Pricktease. Still a decent track but I was hoping for more than decent.

I agree. The kick sounds awful on a few tracks. Literally spitting white noise all over the drop on Bounce 2 Dis Beat.

Just wanted to mention with regards to this tune that it's probably about as true to Ham's classic sound as I've heard on the album previews.
Ham was all about producing tracks for the dancefloor like Working Up A Sweat, Count Of Three and Detonate This Sound. Let's Get This Started is very true to that style. It's not your typical Hardcore track at all. That's my opinion, but I feel it's an important distinction.

Jesus ****in Christ, on hearing that I'm glad I spent that last 1 er I had knocking around on a bag of coke and some rum. Nothing even mildly amazing here, obviously everyone that's brought it is going to say it's mind blowing for obvious reasons.

All he's done is taken a generic vocal sample, put it over a generic track , then named the track whatever the vocal sample is.

I'm glad someone has uploaded something like this because it does give peace of mind to people who didn't want to miss out on something great and were not willing to throw money at basically a blind promise.
No doubt thumpa will be on saying anyone who doesn't like it are haters (his Facebook has been nausiating) He basically said a big f**k you to anyone not involved and I like thumpa but he can be a real dick sometimes.
I'm not saying the tracks are terrible (good mix btw arpz), one and only seems interesting but not worth ?100.
The album will be shared, maybe not on the net but someone will pass on something to a close mate etc and I honestly don't think I'd pay ?15 now I know how some of it sounds.
I will be honest, I wanted it to be terrible so no one contemplates this horrid model again as it can only be bad for the scene but it's not bad, it's average from what I've heard on that mix and average doesn't cut ?100. I don't think any ten songs is worth ?100.
