has anyone noticed how loud the mastering on this album is ?
I think it's much too "bassy" and distorted. |

Tiësto @ Coachella & North American Tour Dates Announced
Taking to the main stage at Coachella '07 with a crowd of over 30,000 in the audience to close out Saturday's schedule following the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tiësto played an epic set that encompassed only his productions. Thinking of the 'Elements of Life' show as more of a concert, the Holland born DJ knew it had to be something incredible, and that it was. Both pleasing his fans, and opening the door of new experience for the entire Coachella audience, Tiësto was on point musically, and the stunning stage backdrop synched the audio event with the theme of the album. Large screens and LED curtains provided the visual aspect with captivating images of fire, water, air and earth, each essential element intertwined with the human form. At the end of the performance, the entire audience that reached far back onto the polo grounds, paid homage to Tiësto, with hands in the air, chanting his name.
Since its release on Ultra Records on April 10th, Tiësto's third artist album, 'Elements of Life', has been on the charts. Opening at #1 on Billboard's Electronic Album chart on week of release, it remains firmly in the same spot, and hit #71 for its debut on the Top 200, and is currently at #9 in the Top Independent Album category. In addition, Elements of Life also posted another huge success for dance music in Billboard, ranking at #8 for the most digital albums sold in the US. Charting at #1 on iTunes US for the dance album category, and #2 on iTunes Canada for largest selling album overall, this release has sold well over 15,000 in the first 2 weeks. The meteoric success of 'Elements of Life' is a first for Tiësto's career, and the album has become one of the largest in 2007 for dance music!!
Coachella '07 was the first stop on the North American leg of this world wide tour for the album. Tiësto is now scheduled to do the complete 'Elements of Life' concert for 19 dates in North America, with more dates to be added.

I thought the song was very original. I believe it was the best vocal on the album. Her accent made the tune very appealing. I enjoyed it.

I didn't quite get the accent thing. Was she trying to sound Brittish? She is American. Love the track though, but it's nothing compared to "Everything". It's absolutely gorgeous.
As someone already said, it is a hit-or-miss, but the hits are refreshing and do the job. The record is definitely worthy of purchase at a discounted price, but I'd hate to have to explain to my friends why I own an album with atrocities such as "Dance4Life" and "He's A Pirate".
Also, is it a coincidence that the sound of "Bright Morningstar" reminds of some of BT's work on "This Binary Universe", considering he was involved in the making of this album?

Carpe Noctum-Good track, with great potential. Build ups are great. I'm actually waiting to see if anyone will remix this. |
Sorry, but this kind of invalidates your entire review. The track is absolute crap. This would also explain why my favorites are your least favorites, and vice versa. Either that, or we just have very different tastes.:p
Nice to see a review in a review thread either way. |

i just listened to the album and all i have to say is: crap :whip:
a lot of rip offs
elements of life = adagio for strings
break my fall = junk
everything = aria - willow (tiesto remix)
carpe noctum = traffic
2/10
and just because ten seconds before sunrise it's the only rescueable |

| i think what he's getting at is the lack of originality. Pretty much rehashing of stuff he's done before. |

I wouldn't say rip-off is the right word. Sure, Driving To Heaven is a pure rip-off. Original tune was by another artist + there is not much difference. Not many people have heard this tune though, so seems to have gotten away with this.
Break My Fall. Not a tune I listen to regulary, but I actually really like it. Most people don't seem to. Do you mean junk as in crap or rip-off from the tune Junk? Don't know what would be worse tbh.
Carpe Noctum. I don't like this track at all. Traffic is much better.
Elements Of Life. Surely exactly the same style as Adagio For Strings. Actually the melody is very similar to Olympic Flame. It's a shame. I really like the buildup of this tune. It sounds so promising. But then the synth in the break drops and it's a little too predictable.
But I really love the mood of this tune. The melody kind of tells a long story. Sad too.
Do You Feel Me is a sweet little track. Obviously based on Oxia - Domino.
Sweet Things also seems to be another misliked track. I like it a lot. That melody is very "Tiësto" like.
In The Dark, rox!
Everything. Surely has parts from Willow and Dreaming.
Now what do we get? The strongest track on the album!
It's pretty obvious he's used elements from other tracks, if you didn't notice that before you started listening to the tracks then I suggest you get a (new) pair of glasses.
It doesn't have to be a bad thing as you can see on my reviews above.
Long live Tijs! ;) |
