I be listening to Just Be and In My Memory when driving these days, and damn, it's a shame how this album cannot quiet compare, but I do still appreciate it, and it has a few tracks that do stand out and I do still listen to a lot at the moment.

Yeah,

The more I listen to this album, the less I seem to like it. Out of all of his production albums In My Memory was probably the best.

BTs older stuff like godspeed and mercury and solace was georgeous.

This is the new tiesto sound, face it or not, the ancient 'tiesto' sound will never return, cause it's done and produced far out in the past.. , like a milestone ahead, prehistorical.

If you like the new sound be happy with it, if you don't leave it, there is so much more EDM music to discover, you don't need Tiesto only for that.

Still I am convinced that he is a great (DJ) preformer, but as (solo) producer, with his supposed ('enginers') or (production) collabes with BT, he doesn't convinced me with it in a minute.

The songs are produced too simple and sounds too much like ("his") songs from the past, only the single in the Dark is quite listenable, but better it was to ('rock it') all the way.

Up to the next Album Tiesto, next time better luck with it

lol i personaly think tiesto is only good in the studio, love the agenda btw im definately seen pvd in cp, might go both nights, it was soooooo great last year. only gis i can get into anyway, (too young).

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

Huh.

But it did return. To some extent, in this album but also in Parade of the Athletes.

2 tracks stick out for me on this one, unfortunately I'm one of the "stuck" people that love the genre's heyday in 98/99.
Elements of Life really took me back to those days, very Gouryella-esque - in fact having heard this in a club a couple of weeks previous to getting the album land on my doormat, I swore blind it was a Gouryella/Vimana track and spent a fair while looking it up. Bugger me, it's been a long time since a track made me feel like this one. There just isn't the talent any more.
Hang on, the last one was a mix of Ligaya (yoji biomehanika remix iirc).
All in all, it just makes me go "ooooooooooooh".

He's a Pirate I also love too - I can't say why, just love the way it's done. I guess it just says a lot for my particular tastes

I've only just listened to this album recently (yes, a year later than everyone else), but I throughly enjoyed it. It has some sense of progression and direction which many artist albums seem to be lacking these days.

'Break My Fall' has really grown on me, and there are some great tracks in the EOL tour.

Not an amazing CD but not at all poor either imo.

Anyway, going to see him in concert on 12th at AgeHa. Should be a good 'un.

Originally posted by sandstorm03 i don't think there is a solid track on the album

Agreed.

Went to see him last march. Wasn't what i had hoped for but was still real good. Not too fond of his recent tracks at all though. In my memory still serves as his best release
