a lot of rip offs

elements of life = adagio for strings
break my fall = junk
everything = aria - willow (tiesto remix)
carpe noctum = traffic

2/10

and just because ten seconds before sunrise it's the only rescueable

I wouldn't say rip-off is the right word. Sure, Driving To Heaven is a pure rip-off. Original tune was by another artist + there is not much difference. Not many people have heard this tune though, so seems to have gotten away with this.
Break My Fall. Not a tune I listen to regulary, but I actually really like it. Most people don't seem to. Do you mean junk as in crap or rip-off from the tune Junk? Don't know what would be worse tbh.
Carpe Noctum. I don't like this track at all. Traffic is much better.
Elements Of Life. Surely exactly the same style as Adagio For Strings. Actually the melody is very similar to Olympic Flame. It's a shame. I really like the buildup of this tune. It sounds so promising. But then the synth in the break drops and it's a little too predictable.
But I really love the mood of this tune. The melody kind of tells a long story. Sad too.
Do You Feel Me is a sweet little track. Obviously based on Oxia - Domino.
Sweet Things also seems to be another misliked track. I like it a lot. That melody is very "Ti�sto" like.
In The Dark, rox!
Everything. Surely has parts from Willow and Dreaming.
Now what do we get? The strongest track on the album!

It's pretty obvious he's used elements from other tracks, if you didn't notice that before you started listening to the tracks then I suggest you get a (new) pair of glasses.
It doesn't have to be a bad thing as you can see on my reviews above.

Long live Tijs!

Ehh, some people base their entire career on that.

I just heard the whole album and it sucks except for 'Ten Seconds Before Sunrise', but even that track sounds like there's something missing. It needs a remix.

I haven't liked any of his other artist albums, so this one was a pleasant surprise. Although there are some songs that stand out more than others, most of the tracks are consistently good

(no comment on the pirate song...)

I agree that many of the tracks are remenicent of other tracks from the past, but perhaps he's done that on purpose? I thought it was kind of nice, being vaguely reminded of some wicked track from years ago.
