i think it's very good, not fair to judge by 40 sec samples though....

I don't like, that in this album there are so many tracks with vocal... 80% or more.... :(

i am dying to hear the whole thing, i dislike two tracks from their samples. but again we all need to hear it in full. it does have quite a bit of vocals. but he seems to have kept this his artist album with the mixes for the clubs and parties. eg. reflections, time of our lives.

here is what i responded to some lucky guy who has a press advance copy of the album in full on what i thought specifically:

i think crush is solid. time of our lives is great, even from the sample of the actual album version, i like it a lot. its pretty different and has a much more "rock" feel. its only a sample, but i'm not enjoying the little part i hear of "like a friend". home is great, i have heard this live, i love this song. "never forget" seems like a promising above average chill song. i am not a fan of "knowledge", though i don't know what the rest of the song offers. the vocal usage its just not for me. "that's life" is a solid production, though getting used to that voice is going to take me some getting used to. i would be interested in remixes of this. apparently its paul's voice!? "spellbound" is a fantastic one, up there with "home". "kaleidoscope" is quite nice as well. buenaventura seems the same in the sample, sounds just as good as it did before, but nothing particularly intreaguing or unique. from the sample of "connected", i am quite pleased as it doesnt have the whaling quality of the motorola mix. maybe i just can't tell from the quality. but i enjoy all versions of this song that he made -- i like the energy and feeling in it. the sample of "reflections" is so totally different from the anthem he has been banging that people have labelled reflections. i love what i'm hearing in this sample. im particularly looking forward to hearing this track in full!

all in all, its pretty solid if you ask me. i was just a little taken aback by "like a friend" and "knowledge" and "that's life" is "interesting", but like i said, production is nice on it and remixes would probably give it a nice twist.

hrm, I just listened to the samples and i'm getting a bit dissapointed somehow ... bleh. I'll buy the album anyway, it's true, it shouldn't be judged just by these samples.
