On the other hand, whenever we see a sale made of something we gave a high recommendation, it makes it all worth while!

Funny review, particularly liked

"most of the punters who aren't distracted by the aching urge to fuck another member of the dancefloor will yawn"

Just out of interest System J, did you think the opeening track was shit. I actually thought that particular track was quite good, bar the last 2 mins where it turns wank.

Other than that, yeah the whole album is as you described...

I found it literally painful to listen to because it was so over-compressed it was making my ears hurt. It wasn't that the tune was particularly bad, but that awful repetitive "vweeeerp vweeeerp vweeeerp" pad sound he used becomes disgusting when listened to on decent equipment. And then, when you've waited for the track to actually reach a destination, it turns into a crap anthem.

As amusing as this little rant was, calling it a "review" is just a sad joke from your side I presume. Choked up close-minded anger would be a better word.

I openly admit that, by all conventional criteria, this is the worst review I have ever written. It is a terrible piece of journalism that doesn't even attempt to be informative or lucid.

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, actually.

Tiesto deserves nothing more.

i didn't look at a track listing or anything before purchasing this. i really only bought it so i could know what to expect at his show that i'm going to in a few days.

in any case, i gave it a listen today; and only liked a few tracks, of which one was Fresh Fruit. was probably my favorite on here.

The only tracks, in my opinion, that are worth a listen on this new indietronica Tiesto album are "Here On Earth" (hopefully, there will be some great remixes for that one), "I Am Strong" and "Louder Than Boom". Everything else just made me go , and NOT in a good way. Farewell to yet another [formerly] great Trance DJ /Producer.
