The thing is, most of the 'haters' were some of Armin's biggest fans back when he was actually making a go at being a bit innovative.

And most of the lovers weren't even listening.

What do you mean pull what off? I didn't mean cooking or pottery, obviously.

His ideas recently are hardly worth celebrating, I say it'd actually be a good thing if he had someone else in the studio with him, maybe they would give back that spark to his tracks that they used to have a couple of years ago. I mean he's already remixing other people's work and taking all credit for it so it wouldn't really be a big step.

...and for someone who dislikes him I sure seem to have quite a few of his records...

I just think he is simply out of ideas. His latest tracks work in a club, sure... but he plays tracks in his sets that completely blow them away. His older stuff like Blue Fear and Sunburn are great though. I still think that he has and still does always make great remixes though.

i like Armin vs. M.I.K.E. - Intruder

very true. this works with almost any artist who has gone off the path of what their biggest fans thought was good music. same thing with airwave. some of the biggest haters of his new stuff used to be the biggest fans. i used to be big fans of both these guys, but now when something new comes out, i take a listen, hoping it will be good but usually i am disappointed

The obvious question is, you may disagree with his choice in ideas, or perhaps even I, but who is to say that the idea is less valid just becuase someone else doesn't agree with it? They are his tracks, he makes the music he likes.

I would hardly say he has to make tracks to 'fit into the trend', he doesn't need tracks for recognition any longer. He's a name in his own right. So while people are so quick to jump the gun and call him a 'trend follower', have these people considered the fact that maybe and just MAYBE he likes the work he makes? I mean does that count for anything? Or should he make tracks so he can please people such as yourself? Why should someone have to sacrifice his own artistic integrity just so he can please a crowd.

For you to say that maybe perhaps he should work with someone else so he can 'bring life' into his tracks again is simply ridiculous and totally undermines him as an artist.

I said it before, you may like or dislike his recent work but atleast he is 100% behind it.
