Wait, you were already accepted and notified of it?

I haven't heard anything back yet.

This does not bode well for me.

Don't worry Callenby, he can't have meant that he's on the album. Nobody has been notified of whether or not they made it on the album ;)

Also don't worry Injustrial, we're not comparing tracks :P
You'll make it on if your track's good for AoP.

Seeing as BP had 44 tracks, and RnR had 54 tracks, will this have 64 tracks?

I'm sure you guys are super busy with the judging and logistics, but how is it going? Did you guys get what you were looking for? And the question that's on everyone's minds: when will we know if we made the cut? Keep up the good work, guys!

Don't worry 7Ponies, he can't have meant that he's on the album. Nobody has been notified yet of whether or not they made it on the album ;)

And PlumCreek, you'll be informed of your inclusion on the album (or not) as soon as the judging is done (just so you know, we're close to being finished). It's going real well so far actually. We've gotten some seriously amaziing tracks!

Sooo, since the judging is over, I'm just going to assume I didn't make it since I haven't heard from you guys. Still looking forward to the album, though. I'm sure there's great music to be heard

Yay! Album's out! Congrats to everyone who got on! Here's my video that I just published:



A few questions though...

Will there be an after album, like OLS and After Party?
Is there a free download link?
If not, will the artists get a free link?
Colorkek that makes computer noises.

What's my main genre? All of them.

Congrats guys. Despite a few people talking negatively before its even out the initial buzz it's a solid album. Can't wait to check it out.

Just a reminder to anyone who's new, even BP1 was not exempt from criticism when it came out. Even if its not your cup of tea let's try not piss on anyone's parade who took part as you really need to question why they would do that. Peace, Love, and Harmony.

About that, I do know that the previous Balloon Parties have not been immune to criticism (the last one especially) but from what I've seen, it seems like Exo actually mismanaged the album MORE than Circuitfry and many former team members are especially ticked off about it. I'm still planning to buy it because still it's a solid selection, but I am curious about what went on behind the scenes this time.

Just so you know the biggest issues were with hand off of Balloon Party as there was a solid month or two where no one knew what cfry was doing with it before he finally he just abandoned it completely. Its easy to blame Exo for trying to fill in when he might not have the connections that others did or be the perfect man for the job. Those who critique the loudest (generally silva and lav) aren't always the ones who raise people's spirits, have anything positive to say, or will make it to a finished release. If the critics wanted to get involved they should have when BP was up for grabs and needed that help (and in some cases they somewhat did, depending on your view of that). I'd personally rather have something passionate and pony then something glossy and pino and sometimes that put me in the minority tbh. Either way better to make something then tear it down i feel....

Honestly, I did NOT expect to get on the album, but I am extremely happy I did. Must have improved if I got rejected from the last one with a "lol no," so that's a huge plus. c: It was a delight to listen to the entire thing on the stream, by the way... Save for some unneeded comments near the beginning, but oh well. If you want to see my video, check it out here.

I did feel as though there was very little a chance my track could've been considered, let alone appear on the album. It's a little surreal to me.
