which 10-footer sounds the best?

Well, i make a DDR CD about once every month, and i have not once put a ten-footer on one. If there were a few more, I would make one with all ten-footer, maybe. Interesting idea, actually...... (I made a pretty good one with mostly challenge songs that was pretty good)

Anywhore, of the maxes, I think MaxX is kinda a ripoff of three hundred. When you think about it, the freeze gallops are basically just the opening of 300. And as far as the slowdown gallops and tricky runs, you basically get those in LoM. All in all, Unlimited is just too hard to get a AA (like I can almost do with 300) but too easy for me to be worried about passing it (like LoM).

But this is about music. MaxX is also kinda harsh to my ears, same with Max(.). Max 300 also just seems like it was kinda made to be fast.

Legend of Max does sound awesome, though. Sleek, and, dare I say sexy? Whatever that guy is saying in the background, something like "boo-swhy" with the 6th note air notes sounds unique in the max series.

Paranoia Survivors. Are you kidding? Is their any song that deserves to be on the Matrix soundtracks any more than these two? Really, for the longest time I have wanted to choreograph a fight while doing one of these.

Bag, after playing some of the really really slow stepmania songs, the challenge is gone for me and the fun is gone with it. Sounds very abusive.

I don't consider anything that just has a 10 foot difficulty on doubles really a ten-footer, so Genom Screams (which is an excellent song) and Gradiusic Cyber (on Ultramix, bad song) don't count with me.

And finally, sweet, dearest Sakura. Sakura is my favorite ten-footer of all, I think. I especially love the slow down that's so refreshing by having a ten footer take an easy turn for a few seconds. This is what Tsugaru Apple mix was meant to sound like.

MaxX a rip-off of 300? it was made by the same company you coon, so how can it be a "rip-off"? Anyway, rip-offs are usually inferior to the original. MaxX improves on 300 in every conceivable way.

Not to mention that all paranoias and maxes sound like poo and do not deserve to be on a soundtrack. You cannot honestly call this shit true music.

From top to bottom (of ones I've heard):
Maxx Unlimited: Pure awesomeness. I agree with the person who said it sounded epic. The trance-ish section is awesome! It almost makes me cry... and gotta love all the jumps in Light and Standard!
Legend of Max: Close to above. REALLY cool sound, and the slowdown is nice, too. Love the syncopation in the Light steps!
Sakura: The tempo changes really add the extra effect. And, of course, it's Tsugaru-ish with a flute... nice combo. Relatively close to LOM.
Outer Limits: Really cool from what I've heard. Can't remember enough to describe it, though. Close to Sakura.
Bag: Gotta love bagpipes! Not to mention the 12/8 feel of the song (at 130 bpm). Close to Outer Limits.
Paranoia Survivor Max: Slowdowns add extra effect. The extra section of the song (added to the original Paranoia Survivor) is also cool. Kinda close to Bag.
Max 300: Cool drumbeat, with eerie background voices and whatnot. Close to PSM.
Paranoia Survivor: The slowdowns are still cool, but without that extra section (in PSM), it just isn't that good. Not that close to Max 300.

1. PARANOiA -RESPECT- Just pure sexiness
2. MaxX Unlimited - Really sounds awesome, and actually invokes just a little emotion from me.
3. Sakura - Very cool feudal sounding song, reminds of some song I'd see on an anime >.>
4. Outer Limits - Cool, but gets kind of annoying.
5. Legend of Max - It's ok, but it's just a little too calm and inactive for me. I hate the ending.
6. PARANOiA SURVIVOR/Max - Uggh, just annoying, they're ok, but annoying.
7. Max 300 - Hardly any melody, sounds like a bunch of noise, the drumming section in the beginning and middle is the only thing that makes it ok.
8. Max. (Period) - absolutely terrible. Really, it's just awful. It's like a noisy, even more dissonant version of Max 300.
