Considering that Tiesto's original moniker was 'Da Joker,' he seems to have come fittingly full-circle. |

DJMag wants to be taken seriously as a credible journalistic source for all things electronic music orientated, and if that means tearing down the commercial juggernauts of the scene, so be it. Frankly, if slamming a new Tiesto album is how they figure they'll earn underground cred', they're going about it in a sad, petulant way. They want to get all hip and snarky about these things, but lack any finesse in doing so (sorry, chaps, but you'll never be Muzik Magazine).
No one's ever going to take them seriously while they continue running their annual DJ popularity contest, no matter how many weak appeals to the underground like ripping on Tiesto they continue making. To be honest, I think they should just embrace it, become full-on purveyors of all things EDM cheddar, though in a slightly underhanded way if they must. |
I'm not sure if this is necessarily an example of DJ Mag attempting to earn underground cred inasmuch as they're just affording one particular reviewer with the creative space to express his honest feelings on the album. If you click the actual DJ Mag link, the article refers to this album's reception as a 'mixed review,' and spends more time asking if it's 'just ?' as opposed to accusing it as such.
Maybe they're simply attempting to appeal to a growing sentiment within the mainstream that's finally beginning to turn on Tiesto, rather than an underground scene that's always shunned him. |

| This album was...sad as . Yea I don't know what's happening to all the trance artists lately (except for a rarely select few), but they should start fixing it eventually (not like it's going to happen...seems it's going to trash nowadays x.x) |

Not sure how it is in Europe, but for all the PR suggesting otherwise, Tiesto's influence within the mainstream in the Americas never reached a point where it'd turn on him for a pandering LP. |

pretty much. i actually watched a few of his shows about him touring on his youtube channel. wow man the guy has just discontected with the music so much these days
his mentality is "hey let me show up to a gig, play a pre recorded top 40 set,get paid,get on the radio,have groupies in my booth"
you look at this intereview with him back in the day he is much more humble and not letting the fame get to his head. he was still about taking you on a journey
