| Nice album. Ultraviolet was probably my favourite, followed by Rabid... They seem to be poppier than ever now, without obviously looking for commercial success. It doesn't touch their first album, but it's still a solid effort. |

| Interesting factoid, "Ultraviolet" is the oldest tune of the bunch (originally done in 2007)...it's epic alright and is definitely vintage WOW but it is ultimately probably the least satisfying of all the tracks (to me). |

agreed. nothing special. a few nice tracks here and there (tales of the rabid monks, future perfect, only love) but it just feels like an average album to me overall |
exactly, it's quite ok and nothing more... comparing to previous works i would even say it's weak |

It's certainly more retro and chilled in some parts than prior work but it's at least unique to what came before. It's hard to constantly better your best.
SYSTEM-J, is your affiliated site (Trancecritic) doing a review (it's not right to have a Tiesto review with none for Wow after all ;))? |

| Yeah, I'll be covering it in the next few days. |

| Nice review mate. I agree 100%. Great, not brilliant, but definitely great. |

| Anybody have their hard copy yet? Probably going to take even more time for the international orders. |

My own copy arrived yesterday. So it reached Finland fairly quickly. |

Cool...perhaps next week will hold a surprise.
I agree with a lot of that review but can't list "Ultraviolet" as the best (indeed it falls short of previous classics you mentioned). It's epic for sure but is the most derivative WOW track-by-numbers on the album. Even the bonus, "Sparkle," holds my interest better as a whole. |
