Thumbs down PVD - Reflections

Just wasted $24 on Reflections by PVD. How is it his live set at Warehouse was so good, yet, get given the choice between having my teeth drilled or listening a second time to reflections, I would have to choose the teeth drilling option.

Has PVD totally sold out or has he just lost the bigger picture?

This is why you should never buy an album that you don't know what it contains, duh.

PVD - reflections

Mr. Mystery: no shit, I have never been disappointed by PVD before, I made a bad assumption! I did download two tracks, and they happened to be decent, I didn't know that besides those 2, only one was halfway decent. Will sell on ebay.

Skip: I will post whatever the hell I want, i think the album is shite, and maintain that. F U.

that's where you're wrong buddy! it's pointless to post a new topic if there already is a proper one, i'm sure most people would agree as the mods would too i think! so stfu n00b!

PVD - reflections

Skip, I am not worried about what the "mods" think, they can always ban me, no skin off my back. You take me back about 25 years to grade 2, you must have been the stupid kid saying "Wait till the teacher hears about this." Reflections is shite, you are a ****...

aka the greatness of mp3





meanbastard, no mods who mod this forum are actually ever in here, and why the fuck would they ban you for reviewing a new release

this is probably a more appropriate thread than most of the shit created by the leet mp3 kiddies.

lol you bought a producers album expecting it to be in the form of a liveset? dumbass. You deserved to lose your $24. And I don't see how just because the music on it isn't quite to your taste means he has sold out or lost the "picture."

(waits for flames)

..... Reflections maybe "shite" (thats your personal opinion, i have bought it but havent got the chance to listen to it yet, it only cost me �7.50 so i thought why not) but you can hardly just start calling skip a "****"


Posted by SK3K on Nov-07-2003 13:14:

You shouldn't spend more than $15 on a single cd, unless it's a 2disc set.

I think Reflections is tite! First time i hear PvD do some different stuff other than trance on his albums.

dude you are a fcking rancid **** yourself. if you're so freaking surprised by the content of this album you must be completely idiotic considering everyone has heard nothing but you, connected, crush, buenaventura and most of us have heard more. now this makes up a good part of the album, at least 4 tracks so what the hell are you so stupidly surprised for. as for the rest of the tracks, two of them are very much pvd tracks and the others contain a newer sound.....so he did something different from what people expected, if you dont like it too bad.... but wtf does it have to do with selling out or losing the big picture.... especially when the big picture is that as many fans pvd has that follow him around the world, they are just people who have been into this scene....and most people aren't, and wouldnt event know who paul van dyk, where he's from or what he does. personally, i think pvd wanted to make danceable electronic music that would appeal to the ignorant ear, to make an impression on a much larger scale..... but we all know many people as soon as they hear a dance beat think to themselves "techno sucks" and wouldnt even give it a shot. well, its a sunday afternoon and im not happy so ive blabbed. but meanbastard, you truly are the ****


Posted by umes23 on Nov-09-2003 21:03:

and by the way you are an even bigger **** for making another thread. you don't even have an opinion so what the hell was the point. there are people who did a better job of explaining that they don't like it. you just said in a different set of words : "i am a ****"

It isn't one of his "dancier" albums but I guess the title doesn't mean anything does it?

Reflections seems like what he's trying to portray by trying. Unlike some other artists that seem to outright sell out to the genre Paul has his wits about himself. He seems to want to do new things but not shock us into some garbage tracks. Sure "Nothing but You" and "Time of our Lives" have been played at 99.99% of PvD's gigs but we all know that these tracks somehow speak to us just like other artists do with their tunes. Anthems they are and will be. We all know that an artist can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time. PvD can cut good studio albums just like his live sets.
