Theres some 13-15 songs on there- His current "releases"
Crush
Nothing but You
Time of Our Lives
All good- yes- but the rest of the songs on there- sound NOTHING like those 3 songs- doesnt flow worth a - random and all over the place. I mean- first 3 songs- goes from bangin hell yea- to a breaks housey version of Time of our lives then into some chillout crap song that i think my dead grandmother would hate. 4th song is OK- Then Nothing but you comes on - then its just random the whole way through.
What was he? Too lazy to mix the ? |
It is very clear that PvD's target audience goes beyond the trance crowd. That's why you have a jazz tune (Like a Friend), a rock tune (the album version of Time of Our Lives), a hip-hop tune (Knowledge), and a number of chillout tunes (e.g., Buenaventura). If you are so limited in your musical taste as to want "banging tunes" only, no wonder you're disappointed.
Needless to say, mixing these genres into a continuous set is unnecessary. You want the tracks to stand out to accentuate the album's diversity.
P.S. By the way, there were two more tracks that were released previously: Connected, which was the B-side for Time of Our Lives, and Buenaventura, which was on the La Mano del Zurdo soundtrack. |

| Just got finished listening to the album and overall it's pretty good, nothing that blew me away, but it still seems like a great album to me. In a year where there have been dissapointing albums (i.e. 'bt - emotional technology', 'chicane - easy to assemble'), PvD's album held up close to the hype. The album is a bit more diverse than past PvD albums, but this is good...it shows that he can do other styles and do them well. While this is not PvD's best album to date, it certainly will be one of the year's best. |

My music taste isnt limited- Just because I dont like a ing song on the album doesnt mean I only like bangin .
The songs suck- Ok- So I really cant stand Jazz- Hip Hop is tolerable if I had enough to drink. I pretty much listen to everything-
He's just trying to go off and be all artsy and he should have stayed to form like Out there and Back. not all over the place- The only thing Reflections does for me is reflect on why I hate jazzy vocals :( |

LOL...some people just can't take having their favorite artist criticized in a bad way I guess. I personally like the diversity of the album, you wouldn't want it to be all the same...however if you think it doesn't flow, thats your opinion and whats the use in flaming you over it? People need to chill out sometime and not take it personally when someone says their favorite DJ sux or whatever. |

1. I'm posting in a forum not writing a novel.
2. You're being the n00b for flaming me, I was merely making a statement referring to Pauls quest for the $$$.
3. You have to realize that not the entire world worships PVD.
"Learn some music." << I'll stick with the grammar thanks. |

You have to realize that not the entire world appreciates metaphores about crapping on one's head. If you weren't a n00b, chances are you'd more careful with what you say.
I really hate it when these forums turn personal.

| Also not everyone appreciates being called a n00b, I'm sorry if my sense of humour offended you. |

My bad for calling you a n00b as well.
P.S. No more flaming in this thread! |
