clearly u have no fucking idea. these are just commercially viable tracks (they are probably shit anyway) like in just be and neither this or just be are introducing "new ideas" or new styles, your a fucking retard thats all. the prodigy's first album had new ideas, daft punk's homework had new ideas, booka shade's album last year had some new ideas, to say what your saying is to put this album amongst some of the most revolutionary edm albums ever made. This is just recycled commercial crap (i havent heard it all but u know im right lol). generally its not an amazing album, your just generally a fucking idiot.

Except if Oliver had made these tracks, he'd probably have hung himself in the shame by now.

What a useless post.

why does everybody bash Tiesto like this? even if you are not a Tiesto fan, you can here that this cd is better then Just Be, In My Memory and a lot of other DJ's their Albums. But on TA everybody has to bash Tiesto. Oh, wait, i seem to get it. This is the forum that choses Armin as number 1 DJ

in the last 7 years, how many of the top 10 djs (according to dj mags x-factor contest) have produced a really solid artists album?
to think of, maybe only tri-state for me comes close.
the likes of armin, pvd, tiesto (who admitibly ive never been a fan of since the 90s) etc etc... just dont seem to make an album thats really worth all the effort. why not stick to churning out mix compilations and get a regular monthly wedge off ministry of sound?
with these guys its more about quantity(of cash) than quality(of music).

it just seems the current fashion for EDM artists/djs to put out an artist album which in reality most barely deserve to be called an E.P

i dont think ill be checking this one out, the pirates mix especially, really doesnt make me feel like considering parting ways with Ģ14.99 and like anything in life, if it needs so much hype and corporate bullsh*te to promote it then 9 times out of 10 its crap.

Uhh and eden isn't ripped of something else
To make clear, I hate the track EOL, but its bullshit to compare it to Eden. Because thats is one of the biggest ripped of tracks in the last years.

I Like 10 Seconds Before Sunrise and Sweet Things, I love Everything (maybe its because it got old sounds in it, but yeah its used very wisely so what?), Do you feel me (alltho I liked the old version he was playing some months ago more, and yes this is inspired by the big minimal neo trance hype, so what? again used wisely and with some special style vocals that you dont hear normaly on top off tracks like that).
The tracks that have some potentional but just need some extra work, Carpe Noctum (this could have been such a cool track, not it sounds like a toned down tech house version of Traffic ), Break My Fall (I like the old style inspired trippy tech beat, but the whole picture of the track is just not finished). Bright Morningstar, was the freaking twinkle killer in Tijs his sets some time ago, now it seemed BT went over it with a dozen of his glitchy twinkle floating effects and it just doesn't sounds like it used to be, it feels to full and misses the groove it had before.. but still the melody is good!
Driving To Heaven is just a breath out moment on the album, nothing very special, but it's not bad either. Somehow I first hated In The Dark and I know like it, offcourse it's very poppy rock and the strings at the back are like from 100s of old trancers from a few years ago, but it just has something after more listens, I can't explain..
And yeah Elements Of Life, I really don't have a clue what he was doing there...the worst track he ever produced!

The album got 2 nice updates of the D4L and Pirates track, they sounds way better now, still no favourites but they are quite ok this way.

Ok, tell me that Carpe Noctum is a joke. It canīt be for real. Itīs just utterly horrendous, that attempt at melody after the breakdown made me laugh.

I quite liked the production on Do You Feel Me, although itīs Domino ripped off and the vocals are too poppy and cheesy.

Ten Seconds Before Sunrise is solid, probably the best original melodic effort on EOL. I donīt like the synths that are used in it (and in majority of the album), though. They sound like they donīt know if they want to be subtle or anthemic. The result is piss-poor.

Elements Of Life is just Adagio without Samuel Barber, tries so hard to be a huuuuge anthem but fails miserably.

Heīs A Pirate is listenable.

Overall, 3/10.

Of course it couldn't possibly be true that people don't actually like the album. That would just be impossible!

My favourite tracks (in order):

01 Do You Feel Me
02 Bright Morningstar
03 Ten Seconds Before Sunrise
04 Sweet Things


The rest is quite shit, ranging from cheesy to just plain boring.
I'm not impressed
