Summary: Arnin Van Bitchin
Comment: Start to finish, this is the best effort yet. Music and lyrics a suprise worth listening to repeatedly.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Generic and uninspired Trance
Comment: Bland, generic, cheesy, and uninspired music. All songs are the same, they start with looong intros, then a female vocal shows up, and then a "climax keyboard" that you have probably heard something similar before.

Summary: Imagine - Armin Van Buuren
Comment: I really enjoyed the album, especially the opening track because it's instrumental and because it covers all of Armin's production talents. It starts with a classical touch, then goes to a more trancier sound, and finally it adds some rocking electric guitar. Most of the tracks have vocals, all female except one which is the track "Going Wrong", which I think takes away from the album musically. I would have preferred a more balanced album with maybe 50% instrumental tracks and the other half with vocals because it seemed the vocals were over used on the songs. Overall, I think this is a really good album, but not Armin's best.

Summary: few great tracks, but otherwise way too many female vocals this time
Comment: I would've bought this entire album if it wasn't so filled with female vocals. For me only a few tracks were worthy of purchase and download. The hard-charging opener, Imagine, seems to give a quick sample of different styles of electronic music AVB likes to experiment with. It's a nice little mix with sounds of haunting piano and guitar, rolling 303 Rave beats, and the magic he does with his synths to produce some of the best epic Trance tracks I've ever heard. The track fits the title because it can literally make me IMAGINE what kinds of things inspired the making of this track, and perhaps the album itself. Going Wrong is an interesting track. I can related to it because it reminds me of one those days or weeks where a long and stressful situation has the potential to make me cause mistakes left and right. I guess an alternate name for this track could be "Time For A Vacation" LOL. Face To Face is one of those melodic tracks that work well in intimate situations. The girl I'm currently seeing likes to listen to this track with me sometimes during our alone times. The nice little closer, Intricacy, sounds like it could be a sequel to his track "Rush Hour (A State Of Trance 2007, CD 2)". It's a good track to listen to while on a road trip. It also sounds like he's moving forward to evolve his style. Great ending.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The year's first artist album from the world's #1 DJ as voted in DJ Magazine's Top 100 poll. This is a more mature album, encompassing a mix of sounds, demonstrating Armin's growth as an artist. Includes some all-star collaborations and offers a broad range of sounds, from banging trance to smooth down tempo. Once again, Armin proves why he deserves his reputation not only as the world's top DJ, but also as a top producer.
