I use to big a fan of atb when i first got into trance..with combining of guitars and punchy basslines and vocals. But since Believe in Me came out i couldn't make myself like it. Then i heard the songs from his new album 'Seven Years' like Humanity i confirmed to myself that it wasn't going to get any better.

i never even knew atb was still about

Don't worry, ATB's gone down hill after his second album. He's not trance but just euro dance trying to be trance ala DJ Sammy. That's probably his biggest competition. ATB's first album was really great because it was quality cheese, it was just really melodic and was one of those albums that you wont get sick of, no matter how corny it might be. But after that he tried going all serious and emotional and it turned out to be really fake. His DJing is pretty poor as well. His mixing is worst than Tiesto's, and he plays a mixture of "the best trance hits of the moment" with "cheesy, bang bang" shit. I really don't think he should be taken that seriously....as much as he takes himself. He seems to churn out so many albums it's silly...when a producer releases something every year and a half that makes me wonder what kind of quality his stuff is...to be releasing stuff that soon, unless he spends all of his time doing it. It's quality over quantity, and I think ATB goes for quantity.

i wouldn't say im bored.. i just am a person who wants to be a dj and really like trance in a town where no one's a dj or likes techno or any type of electronic genre and i just have a lot to say. And it's nice to talk to other people that like the same music.

i agree with you. i liked his first album and even the one with long way home..that song is probably my favorite by him.

not 9pm

when did this guy start going uphill???

ATB is so far down the hill he's on the bottom of the other side.

The guy has lost it although I do like, Ecstasy, The Summer and Marrakech

Yeah but look back at his first album, Movin' Melodies, those melodies were quite "Movin" hehe. Cheesey as hell but still quite fun. No one can deny that, even the elitists of elists (okay maybe they will absolutely hate it, but whats wrong with listening to some "cheese" ever once in a while??). It's an album you can't take seriously, but it's like a little kid's show or a game you played on the playground as a kid, or a silly video game, you might absolutely hate it, but you can't deny it's not fun!

^ oh I completely agree.

I own Movin' Melodies, Two Worlds, and a few other older ATB albums.

I still enjoy them.

But like the others I feel like the direction he has gone in since then hasn't been true to his original style that made him famous in the first place.
