omg -_- i heard -in the dark- yesterday and i rly think it sucks!!!

a lot... i also heard dance for life, and i also think it sucks.. a lot!


why??? why is tiesto doing this to me???

i'm a tiesto fan but this is dissapointing -_-

Id ont like In the Dark too, but like D4L...
Also I heard (very bad quality) sweet things (or how well) and looks good... but this one, ten second before sunrise is so so good )

That mix was horrible !!! From 10 seconds to Sunrise to Touch Me.

gotta say in the dark sounds pretty close to emo and im not a very big fan at all, i like the bell sounds and thats about it. 10 seconds before sunrise i really enjoy right now, not a huge fan of dance4life or the pirate track. Curious as to samples of other clips though ;p

Exactly what I was thinking about the emo-punk sound of In The Dark ... kind of an emo title lol.

In The Dark is utter pish!!!

Nevertheless the comming shows in Holland and Belgium will be great, I will be there of course and it will be sold out within a minute.

tickets for the show in Belgium are already available for about a month, and the show isn't sold out at the moment. I even have my doubts it will get sold out completely

oh, and that 'In The Dark' track is rubbish, hopefully the remixes are ok. I have faith in you, Carl B.

I do like that "Ten second before sunrise" track

Can only put some of the lyrics out?

The whole album is already available in the stores that we all know (those where all is free) :P

It might require a second listen, but the first impression is not good... i'm not liking this album at all. But perhaps I'm still too fixed to the old dancing trance tunes...

Is this the trance of Tiesto in 2007? Well... meh:\

It's less quality than Just Be, but by no means horrible. It just seems so normal

yeah, same here. Carpe Noctum sort of reminds me of a slower paced version of traffic, too.

Elements of life is probably the only ok song of this whole album.The rest is just mellow and nothing new really,I cant stand the vocals at all in any of the tracks.

Bottom line: huge lack of energy in this album,no real climx whatsoever.


4/10 for me

How the fuck did you guys hear this album already?

And the groove totally sounds like Put Your Hands Up For Detroit.

That's the big weakness of this album, there are so many recycled ideas, both his own and others, and on top of that none of them are particularly exciting. All in all the album is decent, but for someone like Tiesto that's not good, it's just proof of how overrated he is. The music is technically and artistically weaker than In My Memory and his other "golden era" works.

There are some tracks i liked however, Ten Seconds Before Sunrise, Do You Feel Me, Break My Fall. And He's A Pirate is kinda catchy.
Others are absolutely horrible, In The Dark is a big load of cheese and Elements Of Life is a new adagio for strings with another melody, that i really don't like. Dance 4 Life needs no introduction.

I'm A Pirate (Tiesto Remix)

Im a Pirate In My PM (Tiesto Remix) ?

Exactly, an album with no energy at all, no nothing...

I just like He's a pirate, but that song has been passing on sets since the last summer....

hes a pirate is actually done well but it was such a shit tune to begin with it just sounds childish and cheesy.

I'd have to disagree and say the exact opposite, good source material + decent work from Tiesto = a nice tune. I mean, i can be nothing but happy hearing that melody and thinking of Jack Sparrow swingin his sword, and the original score cue from POTC is great.

1. ten seconds before sunrise
lovely.. not much else i can add, beautiful uplifting trance. simple but effective

2. everything
absolutey shameless ripoff of the melody from the lucid remix of bt - dreaming (used on isos2), and quite a poppy commercial feel overall, but it's pleasant enough background music. some nice pads in there

3. do you feel me
this sounds like something else again.. maybe oxia - domino? wasn't too impressed by it, seemed to come & go without much happening. forgettable

4. carpe noctem
this was a bit shit lol.. really basic & the traffic influences were pretty obvious. would work in a club i guess, but not really album material

5. driving to heaven
much nicer.. quite floaty & euphoric. shame about the length.. hopefully there'll be extended mixes of these tracks put out, as with just be. 12" mix of this would be awesome

6. sweet things
i'd put this alongside 'everything'.. commercial & fairly straightforward, but easy enough on the ears

7. bright morningstar
the first half of this was really promising, awesome atmosphere & a kind of edgy feel to it. the second half was a bit of a letdown though.. sounded alright but lost its edge & descended into familiar territory

8. break my fall
didn't like the vocals on this, think a dub would suit it better. the backing track was decent

9. in the dark
am with the general concensus on this... probably the worst track on the album. alot of the tunes have a commercial feel but this one is the only one that really reeks of cheese. had to skip through it

10. dance4life
i still maintain that this would have been decent if it weren't for the awful lead synth stabs & maxi's voice being so intrusive. i swear the vocals are used loads more in this version too

11. elements of life
ok in all fairness, this was fucking horrible. infact actually its worse than 'in the dark', since that was shamelessly cheesy & not attempting to hide it, whereas this is trying to be all anthemic & euphoric and comes out sounding turgid & cringeworthy. i'd put this on a par with armin's 'serenity'

12. he's a pirate
now i love this, and am not ashamed to admit it i preferred the version without the orchestral stuff in the breakdown though. it has a much quirkier, more eccentric feel to it than say, 'elements of life', which gives it loads more appeal


in conclusion.. disappointed. i really liked 'ten seconds to sunrise' & 'driving to heaven', and was partial to 'sweet things', 'everything' & 'bright morningstar', but can't see me keeping any of the others (except 'he's a pirate', which i already have the superior 12" mix of). 'just be' may not have been groundbreaking but it showed a fair amount of progression when compared to 'in my memory'. compare this album to 'just be' & there's considerably less change.. he's playing it too safe & not pushing any boundaries

any1 no what the 1st song tiesto plays on this vid??

i am also very disapointed about in the dark

Carpe Noctum was the only song I liked. Generic but fairly danceable.

01. Ti�sto - Ten Seconds Before Sunrise
Very epic and atmospheric opener. Just wow... This is how trance should sound like.

02.Tiesto Feat Jes - Everything
Nice vocaltrack. Indeed a lot of similarities with Dreaming. The summerish-feel of this track is catchy and good. I like it and the vocals don't ruin the track.

03.Tiesto Feat Julie Thompson - Do You Feel Me
More housey... Cool bassline. Goes off well in a club.

04.Tiesto - Carpe Noctum
Yeah, some consider this a traffic pt. 2. But those synths don't put me off. It's a more mature version of traffic. Towards the end I like what's done with the synths. Dont forget these are album edits so the full version might sound even better.

05.Tiesto - Driving To Heaven
Didn't like this in particular. Sounds more like a filler track to me. Also this doesn't sound anything like Tiesto... Too happy and 'heavenly'

06.Tiesto Feat Charlotte Martin - Sweet Things
Every Tiesto album has it's own catchy vocal records. This time it's done pretty well... I Really like what's done here; only it sounds too slow in it's current state.

07.Tiesto - Bright Morningstar
Clearly coproduced by BT. You can hear some glitchy Binary Universe elements in here. Overall this track also had to be speed up. Goes off well and has a nice catchy drive to it.

08.Tiesto Feat BT - Break My Fall
Sounds more like a track for Emotional Technology or something... While the vocals aren't bad I'm not too big fan of it, altough the instrumental part really supports the vocals.

09.Tiesto Feat Christian Burns - In The Dark
Somehow I like this, lol

10.Tiesto Feat Maxi Jazz - Dance4life
Too overblown, cheesy synths. Too bad. This track actually could've become something cool because of the great atmospheric synths; but the 'tututu' part ruins almost everything.

11.Tiesto - Elements Of Life
Fuck, this must be the worst Tiesto production ever. I mean EVER! This doesn't sound like Tiesto... it's a failing attempt to sound cheesy and anthemic at the same time.
If I wouldn't know any better I'd say this track was produced by Armin Van Buuren... It's UTTER GASH.

12.Tiesto - He's A Pirate (Tiesto Remix)
Wow, this is like the ultimate version of he's a pirate. A nice mashup of orchestral and extended. Really feel this track... Also not ashamed to admit I friggin' love this and I dont care if others say this is commercial.


All in all not a bad album; but I expected some more groundbreaking tracks I guess... Some really nice efforts on there though.
General rating: 7/10

Still beats everything Avb & Pvd put out these days.

I would say,this album is very worse... i have heard in all tracks from this album and the "new sound" from Tiesto isn�t my sound at the Moment.

It hurts for me and it�s hard to say, because i would say i�m a "Tiesto Fan". I Like his older Productions and his Mix Albums,that were really Milestones for me. But that Innovation or you can say the word "quality" in his productions,i missed at the moment.

Its just friggin music, and I friggin like it!

where have u guys heard the album?
is it released yet?
where can i listen?
