76 is awesome. what do you expect from these people anyway? PvD and Armin are both trying to please a crowd of hundreds of thousands.. they have to put something in for everyone or risk losing fans.. appreciate it for the sheer massiveness of the attempt.. can you imagine trying to cater to that many people while keeping the record companies and your own personal taste in music satiated? It's impossible. What they are able to put out is a mish-mash of all these expectations. Dont expect something everyone will like. that's not possible. And remember these are still PEOPLE. They have no supernatural powers. If you think you can do better, youre welcome to try.

sorry but this is lame...why should i congratulate an artist with years of experience on "attempting" to make an artist album. There are no "best effort" awards in the music scene, it either blows or doesnt. Armin has really poor production skills as of recent, in my opinion. He just makes this cookie cutter trance that is all too familiar and lacking in ingenuity and creativity...songs like astronaut are just typical re hashed tunes. i know many people will disagree, but i think armin should stick to djing and working with other artists on songs instead of going solo, he lost all of his creativity since communication and blue fear. cant he come up with a new sound already?

My personal favorite artist album:

Hybrid - Wide Angle

I generally don't listen to breaks that much, but this CD to me truly represents electronic MUSIC, not a collection of Anthems that are looped over and over and have pre-progrmmed percussion build-ups. Any of BT's albums and Sasha's Airdranwdagger are both fantastic as well.

I've only heard some of the tracks from 76, I"m sure the cd is much greater in it's entirety. I'll be sure to give it a listen.

mhmm wide andgle and morning sci-fi are both amazing. morning sci-fi took a little getting used to but once you listen to it a couple times its easy to see where hybrid went with it and why its so blindingly awesome

and airdrawndagger, well not much is needed to be said about that its goood

76 isnt all that bad ive listend to it a couple times. id give it a 6.5/10 maybe

Sorry, but 76 is more commerical than Reflections, by a mile. Just my opinion.
