I was actually going into this one with an open mind. I wanted it to be good. because after ISOS 4 I didnt know what to think. Maybe the pressure got to him and he didnt know how to follow up something so big as the ISOS series that he stumbled a bit. no biggie, we all make mistakes. but not only did he carry over his shit mixing, he has actually gotten worse at it.
Yet the worse he becomes, the more popular he becomes
Go figure
When I see gangs of chavs on street corners and silly little schoolgirls shouting about how much they love Tiesto, the No. 1 DJ in the world , I'm ashamed to call myself a fan anymore

Well, it's not like they're going for the music or anything. He could play Hungarian Accordian Folk music these days and you'd still be able to scalp tickets at $100-$200 profit.
(Disclaimer: This isn't meant to be a diss on fans of Hungarian Accordian Folk music. )

Does Tiesto do all of his production work on the CD? I'm not a DJ at all, so I have no idea, but I know that most artists have a production team...and you all shouldn't blame Tiesto for what you think of "bad mixing". It sounds great to me, what I've heard so far, so I don't know exactly what it is you all are talking about. But, I can tell you that I'm willing to bet if it were really as bad as you think, someone would have caught it.

I agree with most of what you've said, but take into account that 90% of Tiesto's audience know very little/nothing about DJing, mixing or track selection. He's become so popular, it doesn't matter if he pisses off his 'real' fans, he has hordes of people to buy his CD, make him rich and famous, and vote him into the top positions of popularity contests.
Quality doesn't seem to matter anymore. Frankly if my name was put on his recent mixes I'd be too embarrassed to show my face never mind dance around behind the decks like a god
this is spot on man. My feelings exactly.

The only transitions I thought her really just plain ol' shitty on Disc 1 were from #2 to #3 and from #10 to #11. The rest were Ok, nothing to get all fuzzy about but they were decent.
Haven't heard disc 2 yet...

is it so hard to read the replies I made after that? I deemed it harder in the sense that its far easier to tell if one is a shitty DJ through Mcprog. and thats pretty damn evident in this mix.
how is it that he used to mix fairly good when it came to pure trance and with mcprog he can bearly get through a transition?

Exactly - its easier to hear a trainwreck in mcprog because its a easier track to mix... thus far easier to hear when its out.
