Looks like I'm not the only one who didn't do anything musical last 3 years. And my track also short and silly. Submit your wip Supercoolmike!

Oh no! That's a bummer! I'd encourage you to still turn something in please. Believe me, I'm right there with ya:  it's literally been 3 years since I've made any music so this round was a struggle for me too. My song isn't very long either, so even if you only submit a WIP, it's still better than nothing! 

8-15 songs. No time length priority. The only important thing for album is to be "album". Main idea or theme through all the tracks and overall sounding should stay in one mood.
Hope someone can understand, what I'm trying to say with my english.

I'm done..

Same..

You... I hope I'll pass all the rounds to face YOU! And when I'll beat you down you going to finish that SOR project

Screw it. Screw everything. This is never getting finished. We might as well call it quits and just drop the files somewhere.
Don't think I haven't thought that way.
But now...

My net connection broken till 15th. Count me as a bumper too
 

I just realized something: BA is OCRA-30, BA2 is OCRA-43, and BA3 is OCRA-56. There's exactly 13 albums between the BA ones ^^

To hype myself for BadAss Volume 3, I revisited the first two volumes and thought I'd give them both a "small" review 

And now for the second: BadAss Volume 2: Electric BadAss

The BadAss takes its second form, and its stronger, more intimidating, and more….um….BadAss than the previous form. Seriously, the quality of tracks increased, the sources used combined both popular games and lesser known/underrated games. This may very well be, currently, the best compilation of boss battle arrangements you will find. The one thing I will criticize, and this is a tiny one, is that this album might intimidate those who don’t like hard rock as much. But, there seems to be slightly more representation of other genres than just hard rock in this album.

Before I go to my personal favorites, I want to make an honorable mention to the track “Broken Dreams.” The main body of the track struck me as repetitive and generic, but I absolutely loved how it sampled the best of the 90s Sonic cartoons.

Personal Favorites:

Track 1: Baby Bowser (Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island) - Bowzilla [Lashmush]

God damn does Baby Bowser need a diaper change. This track is very angry, and very intense. The intro is outstanding, and I loved how the synth work in this track didn’t take away from the VERYANGRYANDINTENSEGOINGTOKILLYOU riffs. And way to make Baby Bowser seem more intimidating with those roars.

Track 2: Robot Bosses (Sonic & Knuckles) - Hedgehog Fodder [Devastus]

This track tricks you into thinking you’ll get a nice sounding track (just like Gilgamesh did in volume 1), and then BAM. The sirens go off, and the robots are out to kill you with more intense riffs. I love the liberal risks taken in this track as well. The original riffs really added to the track. And the subtle choirs and chanting really made it seem like this theme was fit for an army, rather than a single entity.

Track 3: Teddy Bear (Splatterhouse 3) - Hunger [Mak Eightman]

*From my original review of the track*

I like how the distortion blends with the music. It makes Genesis music, or Genesis inspired music sound that much more hardcore than it already was. It’s very intense, insane, and those build ups are so solid.

Track 4: The Combine (Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 - Episode Two) - Mister Freeman [Justin Lassen]

I mostly appreciate this track for how different it sounds compared to most of the other, rock heavy tracks. It’s slower, more synth reliant, with a dash of a haunting orchestra bridge. Reminds me of something Trent Reznor would do.

Track 8: Dr. Wily (Mega Man 1, 3) - Top This [Flexstyle]

*From my original review of the track*

I can just see a DJ coming out to stage making a grand entrance at the very start of this track, and then saying into a mic “top this” right at the 0:29 mark. The percussion and bass work is outstanding. I want to dance to this, I want to jam to this, I want to rock out to this. The production here is……ahem…..top notch.

Track 12: Ultimate Phalanx (Demon's Crest) - Red Retaliation [Torzelan]

I love Demon’s Crest, and its soundtrack. I would have loved the final battle theme, if it didn’t last 16 seconds before looping again. That’s what makes this track so brilliant. These guys found a way to take a 16 second track, make it their own, add awesome lyrics to it, and stretch it out into 4 and a half amazing minutes. Whether you like this genre or not, anyone who aspires to arrange video game tracks should listen to this. Mainly to see that yes, it IS possible to make creative arrangements from original sources, no matter how short the source material is.

Track 13: The Great Mighty Poo (Conker's Bad Fur Day) - Poop [Brandon Strader]

Man, I don’t even know if anything I could say about this track would do it justice. The Great Mighty Poo theme was already an excellent track, and Brandon Strader somehow made it even better by making it a dark comedic rock opera.

Track 14: Dr. Robotnik (Sonic the Hedgehog 2) - Egg-Shaped Prison [David L. Puga]

At first I thought this album should have ended with the previous track, but by the end of the track, I was content with this being a good track to end the album on. It’s a nice take on the Sonic 2 battle theme, and whether intentional or not, the distorted ending does a good job making you think “is the BadAss onslaught REALLY over with?”

Spoiler alert: It’s not

Someone posted this shit on my facebook and I decided to wander here to see what was going on lol.
I am too busy to do this i'm afraid, but its probably a good thing, I'd crush you all anyway >:D

Maybe next time!

We're not doing this for every artist's approval. We're just doing this for the ones who're concerned and available. PMs to everyone here, emails if we have them. And they have whatever time it takes to get the other things in order, minus whatever Usa needs for any revisions.

So, small in text, but large in importance update! I have received a PM from the project board (is that the right term?), and well,
igNoring thE craSh is now an official OCR Album Project!
Well, almost. There's a few things that need to be taken care of, but within the next week or so, it'll become officially official, to quote Gario.
What does this change? Not much. The final deadline is still set for August 10th. However, the album judges did give some critiques on individual tracks, which I'll be PMing out tomorrow to their respective holders. As for those who haven't turned in a final track, perhaps this will be a good motivator, no?
We're past a major hurdle, guys - now let's get ITC to a release!
(It's fitting too - when I write this, it's ITC's 3rd year in dev! Its almost like a present!)

Let's keep it for 2018. 10 years project! Yay!
 
dat's a joke

Thanks to everyone for this project!! Not the best track of mine here, but others made a SUPER great job!
