Idk what it is, I'm typically right there with you with preferring more music, but OO5's mix is probably in my top 5 favorite mixes of all time. But, they are probably the only team that I would like a mix like that for, it just fits them.I don't know... lately I've notice something when it comes to music, but maybe its just me... I've noticed that music is becoming less about music for some teams and more about the voice overs and sound effects... I think its also taking away from the routines... not all teams but some... for example I adore, ADORE, love, LOVE, TopGun but I can't stand 005's music!!! Its not music... its just snipit after snipit of youtube videos/clips/ vines/ memes... its literally voice over after voice over... yet Top Gun LC coed 2013-2014 I can sing the entire 2:30 by heart, just like WC 2013-2014, Smoed 2013-2014... this year there's only been a few I actually liked like WC Shooting Stars (really enjoy the retro feel)...
I know as a coach it is hard to find music to fit the routine that you have in mind etc... but I think the right music can make a drab routine fabulous and unfortunately a great or wonderful routine can look like crap with the music... TopGun 005 can perform with no music playing and I might enjoy it more... I love the difficulty and love that when people are screaming so much u can't hear the music that great... but when you go to youtube or soundcloud to hear it, its honestly like BLAH... I'm the Linda they're talking about btw... Linda Linda Listen!!!
Anyway thats my opinion... I think that music is being taken for granted and coaches should work a bit harder to find actual songs to use even if its just 2 8 counts and switch to another song, voice over for transitions and such... I think its just gotten to that point where DJ's (no offense to any) are being paid to just do voice overs and add background sounds... and the sound effects... some are just too much... Cheer extreme ssx I did like the routine but I think their music is not all that and there is one section that it is overpowered by sound effects completely you can't even hear the music playing in the back...
Sorry
