Originally posted by djallure I think the reason these artists are so hard to get a hold of is because they've heard Shivvers. The album is not fit to put on any medium. It's absolute rubbish and Armin is not an artist by any definition of the word. He's a run of the mill DJ who can make a crowd jump up and down. His sets lack imagination and technicality... which he knows since he rather amusingly talked about hitting the Key E, as if to try make it seem as though he has a musical motive. hahaha. As to if he wins the number 1 spot... it really doesn't matter to me because that list, like any chart speaks nothing of real talent. And as to evolving... I think those of us who liked him in his day are the ones who've evolved where as Armin along with the only big name Trance DJ's should be handed a newspaper to inform them it is almost 2006... and 2001 was 5 years ago... time to move on.

You're an idiot. Yes, Armin got where he is today because he has no skill.
