This album isn't appalling. The presentation of the album are superb in my opinion, and for the hardcore Tiësto fan like me who is wanting to get the best value, just being able to own 10 original tracks from Tiësto may make this album worth 5 stars. Regrettably this album is not worth of 5 stars at all. There are only 3 awesome tracks on it they are: Walking On Clouds, A Tear In The Open, & Just Be.
Just Be is one of those classics by Tiësto. The atmosphere is amazing with a hectic backdrop, easy listening industrial sound and stupendous vocal track make it truly fantastic. The lyrics were truly overwhelming and I quickly got drawn in by their simplicity.
In my view Walking On Clouds is an breath-taking trance song by The greatest DJ of all time. It reminds me of Eternity & Obsession (my favourite track by far), and that's something to be proud of. I would like to hear it remixed with a faster tempo considering the slowness of the song!!!!!
Forever Today is actually a good track, but it just couldn't stand the test of time for me. The strenuous intro became truly frustrating every time I wanted to hear the remainder of the song. The introduction has no connection to the rest of the song, making it all the more frustrating to listen too.
Nyana is first-class. It's superior to some of the other tracks on here, especially Sweet Misery. OMG what a dreary song, this one need's to be sped up: big time. Traffic is total and utter bull. I've heard this so many times before Just Be's release? Why is it on this album? I hated it. It is far too vivacious for me to take it seriously. Love Comes Again is a joke and totally ruined the entire album.
Finally Tiësto's Adagio For Strings is supposedly his "best mix ever" is what I have heard people muttering. Ok, I admit it, I do have it on my Ipod mini but I have only listened to it a couple of times as personally I find it boring and too repetitious.
Tiësto has stitched himself up here if he is looking to entice new fans, but if you are hardcore about Tiësto then this is a must buy full stop.
Advantages: great songs, outstanding trance Disadvantages: few not so good songs
An unreal album, i had hardly heard of tiesto when i bought this album and understandably it propelled the great dj to stardom. Containing 3 of the best trance tracks of my time, "Love comes again" "Adagio for strings" and "Traffic" this album will blow your socks off. It was my favourite album up until the release of his latest album Elements of Life which i would recommend to anyone as well. If you are into your dance music, trance music and your ...

...will take it in what Tiestois trying to do a whole lot better.
I have this album in my collection and i like it. My favourite tracks being UR and Just Be, these are two of the slower tracks, but it is something different and i think it really works. ...

Advantages: Tiesto at his best Disadvantages: Too few tracks
DJ Tiesto absolutely deserves a gold medal for this CD. This is amazing stuff. Every single track on this CD is on another level, true trance at its very best. The vocals from Kirsty Hawksahw (who by the way has the most beautiful voice i have ever heard) add a lot to the tracks also, creating an almost flowing and heavenly balance in the beats. The very famous Adagio for Strings and Traffic are the great non-vocal tracks on the CD, and so is Forever ... ...olympics- the olympics people!!! It shows how great Tiesto is. The lyrics in this album are very thought provoking and at the same time comforting with the beats making the body rhythmically move. This is Tiesto at his excellence (once again) and should be included (without dobt) in your collection of trance/tiesto. ...

Advantages: varied mix of tunes Disadvantages: track 1 takes ages to get into
I love this album, I can listen to it either to chill out at a low volume or turn it up and use it to get ready to go out for a weekend. Tiesto has done us proud with this album. Well done.
There is such a varied style of music on this album i have found people who are not really into dance music of any kind really getting into this. I have also found that this is a great cd to listen to while playing driving games, a great accompanyment without ...
