Full review

This album shows just how much Armin is capable of. A State of Trance 2007 features 28 long trance tracks, ranging from 2 minutes to 8 minutes (Most around 6) that flow into eachother. Armin has used various techniques that other trance music creators have not tried yet, such as bit-crunching, and has achieved the desired effect. I have really enjoyed this album, and have listened to it for 3 months now, without being bored of it. One of my favourite aspects of this album is the use of drums, he has used different samples to make his music provide the 'rushing' feeling to it's listener that most trance artists cannot achieve. This album is well worth it's price, as it has over 1 and a half hours of tracks inside, that you will not get bored of. There are a few original songs by Armin in this CD, but most are tracks from other people that he has remixed. One of the downsides of this album is that Armin simply repeats the chorus in every one of the songs (that is, the ones that have words in them). Overall Armin has shown exactly what the next few years of trance could feature, with his many different music-writing styles. I recommend this to anybody that is into trance music, or who wishes to find out more about new music that could be making an impact on the world over the next few years.
