Interesting thread, good topic.

Lots of great points have been brought up. I believe that a lot of this backlash has come due to his exposure, I mean shit, the guys' gotta radio show thats aired once a week! I, and a lot of us wouldnt be able to hear Armin as often as we do, if it werent for ASOT. Furthermore, b/c of this once a week airing, we are able to sit here and scruitinize him. "He played that track last week" Or "He's played that a month straight" Or "Hey this is new, im likin this" etc.

Having said all that, I really do enjoy Armin and his sets. I believe that he has his own style thats his "niche." It won't appeal to everyone, but thats ok, b/c you can never appeal to everyone. Who knows maybe in time my opinion will change, but currently I like what Armin's doing, and I like most of his productions as well.

Thats my $0.02

It is dumb to hear 300 times a day that it was better 4 years ago but it was, people just like to restate the obvious sometimes and although it does get tedious it is true lol.

Lets get one thing straight
1. Don't ever associate DJs with god...I'm agnostic, but lets sack up and get off of Armin's, cuz he's a human just like you and I.
2. Read above.

I love Armin as an artist and producer and major player in the trance scene. His past masterpieces like Communication and his remix of Dido, Rapture and Viola are awesome. I've never seen him live, but I would love to. On the other hand....
I'm not gonna go off like I did last time, but all I can say is that I'm not one of the many hordes of Armin fan that worship him and treat him as a damn deity. His remixes of late are shit, his tracklists are repetitive, and artist send him promos for ASOT, so don't make ASOT more than it is. Or Armin for that matter. Because Armin is just another trance DJ who's hype is about to die down really quickly and horribly if you people keep this kinda "is Armin god" shit up.
Much love and respect to Armin and all trance fans out there.
Peace.

if ur referring to what i said bout ASOT....

my point is he cud play those records out...but he doesnt.

wasnt making him out to be sum up-front tune god, which he blatently isnt.

so....yeh...
