This is one of the best CDs I've purchased in a long time. It's pretty solid all the way through. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would be. I can listen to every song without getting bored with any of them. My absolute favorite track so far is "Everything." Jes' voice is hypnotic -- I could listen to her sing all day. I did a little research and found that Jes has her own album coming out in May on Tiesto's label, it's called Disconnected. Definitely going to have to check it out.

spoken like a true trance fairy

1. Ten Seconds Before Sunrise - Nice and lovely opening tune 4/5.
2. Everything - Maybe my favorite on the album. Great tune! 5/5
3. Do You Feel Me - Actually not a bad tune. But doesn't catch me properly. 3.5/5.
4. Carpe Noctum - I don't like this tune at all. Garbage if you ask me. Maybe it works fine on the dancefloor. 1.5/5
5. Driving To Heaven - This is THE ripoff tune of the album. Everything is hardly a ripoff compared to this. Based on this I give this 0/5. It's simply just an edit of the original tune.
6. Sweet Things - Co-produced by BT. Heard much critic about this tune. I love it! 5/5
7. Bright Morningstar - Co-produced by BT. Great melody here, beautiful tune. Still waiting for a hard mix/remixes. 4/5
8. Break My Fall - I actually like this tune too. 4/5
9. In The Dark - A lot of people seemed to call this the worst tune at first. Probably because it was announced as a "rock trance" tune before people hardly heard it. In my ears a tune that is hard to hate in general. 4.5/5
10. Dance4Life - No comment
11. Elements Of Life - Written by Geert which you can obviously hear on the classical melody. Reminds a lot of Adagio For Strings and Euphoria. I'm in doubt with this tune. I like the idea a lot, but it's too "cheesy" Tiësto. The buildup and all is awesome and sounds promising, but when the climax kicks in... it sounds too obvious/standard. Beiking kind I'll give it a 3/5
12. He's A Pirate - No comment

My rough review.
Overall I'll give it a 4/5

There is only one track I really like (Ten Seconds Before Sunrise) and couple fairly good. But mostly I don't find it interesting. He's A Pirate, Carpe Noctum and D4L are awful IMO.

Ten Seconds Before Sunrise-For an opening track it gets the job done. Nice & smooth

Everything-Mostly everyone digging this album actually loves this track, but I on the other hand believe this is by far one of the worse tracks on the album. The build up isn't bad, but once Jes comes on, not really feeling it.

Do You Feel Me-Actually my favorite track of the album. It's got that nice up beat sound.

Carpe Noctum-Good track, with great potential. Build ups are great. I'm actually waiting to see if anyone will remix this.

Driving to Heaven-Doesn't stand out too much.

Sweet Things-This is by far the worse track of the album. The vocals are just horrible!!! Despite the numerous times I've heard this album I don't think I've been able to sit through it and listen to it once completely.

Bright Morningstar-Great track. Reminds me of the old tijs sound during the Nyana era.

Break My Fall-Don't appreciate BT's vocals that much. Not that impressing.

In the Dark-Great track!

Dance for Life-Track is not that impressing, however, the Sander van Doorn rmx kicks ass.

Elements of Life-Good track, a little too slow, but if remixed, it's got potential. Reminds me of Adagio for Strings, and Olympic Flame.

He's a Pirate-Enough said ;X

^^ pretty much gotta agree.

tracks 1, 3, 4, and 7 are really the only ones that i'll listen to more than once. carpe noctum being my fav. i just hope it gets some dope remixes. but with in the dark being the first single, i kinda doubt it.

the edit of D4L is God aweful... I mean REALLY!!! I don't mind the original that much but this edit just doesn't work for me at all...

I honestly enjoy the chill-out/ambient(esque) version of Everything. It's not bad.

YEESSSS

I have finally heard the album, i have to say, i think that everyone bashing it before it came out just got shut up hardcore. Even though i dont appreciate tiesto as a dj i think everyone knows the damage he can lay off on a studio. great album .period.

carpe noctum, best track of the album imo.

As I do appreciate your opinion I for one hate the thing. Pretty much all of it except that "new" chill mix of everything, so I don't think people got shut hardcore at all.

And I don't know if you know this or not but Tiesto doesn't produce pretty much anything nowadays.
