The Outside Agency’s sophomore album, Scenocide 202, is a collection of virtually every track and collaboration The Outside Agency has released on their Genosha imprint since the release of Genosha #7 as well as full versions of their latest Genosha #19 vinyl release. Every track on this double CD was completely and meticulously re-mixed and remastered especially for the album.

As an added bonus there are three never-before-released VIP versions of some of TOA’s most popular tracks, a hidden track and a very hidden track. With this excellent continuation of their previous effort, Scenocide 101 (available in stores nowhere), The Outside Agency delivers yet another condemning piece of evidence that there is more to hardcore than we ever thought possible.

What Internet professionals are saying:
“Everything they made in the last years was complete shit that barely has anything to do with hardcore.”
“Sounds like hardstyle.”
“…[these] tracks aren't bad […] but every single one of them misses something...”
“This really bores me.”
“Every time I have played [music by TOA] I have literally forgotten it was playing and walked away.”
“…peopel says some tracks are awsome they dont sound awsome to me they sound the sameis to other tracks.” (sic)
“the outside agensy ken beter thuis blijven. flapdrol.” (sic)
“Can anyone please explain why Outside Agency is so popular?”

Its a good album - lots of nice tracks, I'll grab it to listen to on the way to Europe on the plane.

But, I've been asking that same question for years... and who are the internet professionals? keyboard warriors?

[wyzZ]

People at GHF and other fora, i guess.

The 'sounds like Hardstyle' is from GHF (?) and that Dutch sentence seems to be from Partyflock.

The reason they are so popular is because they are on GHF, they (used to) have an original style and they blend in various other genres(/subgenres) into Industrial which means that more listeners will like it.


About the album, it's a big improvement over the first album.

[Satyriasis]

Looks pretty good. I'll grab it either way.

[D-Nemacyst]

grabbing this along on holiday

[FOAME]

Sounds nice, think I'll have to grab it aswell.

They released it a couple of years ago on the second "Goes Noord"(GEN16).

Their style isn't original any more because everybody else copied it.

The hardstyle joke is definitely from Global hardcore, it was a comment posted on Unconquerable man remix.

Glad to see so much interest in this album

[wyzZ]

Their style definetly got worse though.

“the outside agensy ken beter thuis blijven. flapdrol.”

[D-Nemacyst]

Nothing got worse imo, i didnt like them at all before 2008 and now i like pretty much 3 quarters of what they make and im not on GHF so it's not that i like them because of that.

[Derelict]

their style did change, got more dnbish and aggressive but the new release on genosha is their old style. neither is worse than the other. every release is something new and fresh, nobody else in hardcore can claim that.

[menace 2 society]

i disagree anth, but just comes to personal opinions. i much prefer their older more industrial style as opposed to the dnbish stuff they released of late. i just find it a bit too slow for wat i like

Life Runs Red and Razor Edge make innovative stuff.

[Derelict]

yeah they do, but whats your point? toa invented the dnb hardcore cross over ffs!

[Infiltrator]

HAHAHAHA no they didn't Anth. The Bloody Fist guys did back in the 90's.

My point is that TOA aren't the only people who make fresh stuff!

[Derelict]

who cares if they arent. this is a topic about their album...

[wyzZ]

I care.

[Infiltrator]

Come on Anth don't be like that. In your post you said "no one else in hardcore can claim that", which isn't correct.
