Ofcourse i can take things personlly, first of all i feel offended on my own taste of music as i share myself in your so-called group of fuckwits who have all the tracks and also like armin van buuren as a dj.

And on the other hand i dont see any reason why you have to post your opinion in such a totally rude and unmannered way, its just pathetic.

And is my track on it? o wait, now i see it, didnt know.... something you would never accomplish

the cd is a load of balls. i mean why in the name of god why someone would want to mix trance that way is beyond me. trance fans like to feel the track build and breakdown and then feel that rush again.

listening to this would aggravate me as i hate when djs mix out too early. have to agree with the majority of people here. this cd is shit and the track selection isnt all that good. he could have made 2 18 track cds with quality tracks instead of squashing 40 odd average tracks in them.

I don't think anyone (yet) is talking shit about the taste of music or the dj, but rather the way the cd is mixed as being sort of counterproductive to the actual music that it contains...

Lol Armin's been doing big mixes like this for years now - I don't know why some of you are reacting as if this is his first or second time (maybe second time selling it but...). Personally, all I really want to know is what Armin's favorite tracks from 2007 were - like his personal top 20. Armin's mix cds are definitely NOT meant to sound like his live sets, but they are constructed well. Regardless of the track selection, it flows nicely. At least they have in the past (since ASOT 200 - very nice mix imo!).

Someone else said it on here, but sometimes it makes a nice listen to if you have a drive ahead of you. I'm still wondering how Armin picks these 85 or so tracks... maybe it's based on how the voting on www.arminvanbuuren.net is going or maybe he has his favorites (i.e - anthem). Oh well, who's ready for Armin Only '08 lol?

Don't bother man. I mean really, no one is going to change their opinion here...we've been down this road before. There will always be some excuse like "its good background/car music" or "you get to hear a nice summary of the best tracks of the year" or "its armin giving back to the fans"

The list could go on. Bottom line: some people are easy to please, others have "standards". I personally like listening to GOOD music and GOOD mixes regardless of whether they're in the background, in the car, on a plane or during an orgy.

well i can agree with that, there are different ways of listening to music, and different cd's are for different purposes i guess. Therefore i wouldnt see it as an excuse when people say its a nice cd for background and car listening... thats just what this cd is for and many many people just listen to music as background or as car music, not everyone is diehard trance/dance listener who wants tohear 4 minute build ups and all... try to place yourself in other people as well

Who said I need 4 minute buildups?

What I'm saying is, why do you lower your standards in a car or for background stuff? Thats like saying "I wouldn't normally listen to this, but in a car when I'm not paying attention it SOUNDS SO GOOD!" Obviously, you must enjoy this outside of this environment as well. Once again, you and anyone else are free to enjoy whatever the hell you want, I'm not gonna be in the passenger seat changing the CD (as I sometimes do with my closer friends lol).

Some of us just find the format and idea of this self-defeating and stupid. People slam music I like all the time, but it doesn't bother me, I'm confident in my taste, and most of all, the individuality of it. People are not going to agree all the time...accept it, and be content that even though someone thinks you're a fuckwit for liking something, it should have no bearing whatsoever of what you deem is good or bad, because that is an entirely individual area, and no one can tell you what you like/dislike but yourself.

I completely agree with this....
WHy WOULD you care if ppl bash u for liking something?? I mean geez, who cares?

I like diff forms of music, and i do like Armin, but i also love Sasha, Desyn, and Matthew Dekay among others...

Point is, i KNOW tons of ppl hate on me for enjoying Armin's music, but fuck, i'm 30 yrs old...
Like i care if someone hates on me or anyone who likes Armin.
FUck, as a HUGE fan of progressive and house i can even see why ppl would hate, but that doesnt affect me in ANY way...

Accept it as is and FUCK IT

Agree to disagree even, but don't whine and cry as u try to justify WHY u like any particular DJ...
