judging from the samples:
CD1
01 Lost My Way (5,5/10)
average track, vocals are nice, i just think he could do better with this song. Good point on this track is that it gets better as it progresses.
02 For Always In My Heart (3,5/10)
my god what is this?? really not feeling this track, way too poppy synths.
03 Hollow Dream (4/10)
title is a good description for the song, but i wouldn't say it's playable in a club environment, just too boring.
04 Salvation (4,5/10)
i recognize these synths from somewhere, dunno exactly what track :/
another pretty boring track imho.
05 Time Is Running Out (5/10)
percussion in this track is well done, but the track misses a certain 'hook', like the previous tracks.
06 Swoon (ft Lux Lisbon) (6/10)
overall a nice track, although the vocals aren't my cup of tea.
07 Perfect Blend (7/10)
the title track. opening synths are nice, percussion is very good. very anticipating bassline, perfect for the synths that come in later.
best track so far.
08 Innerlife (7/10)
loving the bassline, nice and unique build-up, vocals are the worst element of the track here.
09 Voices From The Inside (8,5/10)
We knew this one already, a very good track, enough said 
10 Believe In Miracles (6/10)
Well, what do we have here? An ambient track from M.I.K.E.
nice addition, but does nothing for me
CD2
01 Totally Fascinated (7,5/10)
Nice track, enjoyable synths and melodies
02 One Night In N.Y. (7/10)
Another nice track, a bit more techy and repetitive, but nice anyways
03 Massive Motion (9,5/10)
Pure bliss, one of the best M.I.K.E. tracks ever.
04 Fuego Caliente (8/10)
We knew this one too, nice track, superb synths. Although the Dimitri Andreas Remix is better, it deserves an 8.
05 Intruder (M.I.K.E.'s Rework) (8/10)
Enjoyable techtrance, very similar to the original.
06 Pound (Original Mix) (8/10)
Nice track too
07 Strange World (M.I.K.E.'s Rework) (3,5/10)
Man this track blows. Horrible bassline, what's with the acid bleeps during the break? they suck. 2000 Remake over this anytime.
08 Turn Out The Lights and Outro (9/10)
Another famous track by M.I.K.E., a real classic. Outro is OK.
A very average album by M.I.K.E., i really think he could do better than this. Look at the tracks on CD2, and compare em with CD1, and say yourself, this is not an outstanding album.

) alongside a few techy bangers that don't really work for me (Salvation, Time Is Running Out, The Perfect Blend). They are part of Mike's new style though, so I expected a few of such tracks on the album. And let's face it, in a club they'd tear the roof off! 
... It's very catchy. At first I didn't like it that much, but now... damn 
....m.i.k.e. has a good radio voice!haha
SWOON!The sounds are incredible...! And a few others so far to mention:
