The Dutch Donkey master behind the one's and two's is just about to release his new artist album. April 10, 2007 Tiesto will be releasing his new artist album "Elements of Life", following his not so great album "Just be" from 2004. Thanks to the good ol' interweb, I've manage to grab a copy of this album before its release date and take a listen. My first impressions on the album is pretty good. All the songs have the good ol' Tiesto touch from his 2000-2003 years, and doesn't seem forced. All the songs have a very warm and "full" feel and sound to it. However, to be honest all of Tiesto's songs seems to be semi rip off's of other artists songs... Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying he blatantly rips off other artists, but his songs do share very similar element with a lot of songs he plays in his sets. For instance the song "In the dark" takes elements from Christian cambas's song 'Paramount' and tiesto-fies the song and lays a vocal over the song. Why not? I like!!!! In all honesty this song is the best on on the album. It was the first song my computer choose to play from the whole album, but I love the song from the first beat to the last. Next song which simi-rips off another artist is track 5 - driving to heaven. The song is a tiesto-fied version of Dibaba's - Hold You (Agoria's Bear Mix), which was another tiesto favorite during 2003. But if you do look back at some of his songs from his past albums there are many songs he does this with... I'm only going to call him out for this album....
The new album seems very laid back, and has some nice Ipod keepers. The album seems to have a more mature sound to it, compared to his earlier albums. The songs which stuck to me :
track 2 - everything,
track 5 - driving to heaven,
track 7 - morning star, and finally
track 9 - in the dark.
The last three songs on the album totally sucks (song are: shit#1 - dance4life, shit#2 - elements of life (a bad interpretation of Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Woody van Eyden featuring Jimmy H - Y68), and the last shit is a song called he's a fucking pirate from the movie(do i really have to go into this...)!!! I categorize these songs simply as shit!!! The songs should be erased from the face of the planet!!! The songs are equivalent to the former shit club #2 sound factory in NYC, with the world's No.1 worst/horrendous shit chalkboard scratching DJ jonathan Peters with his guido-ed out crack-head following pumping fists doing the sound-factory shuffle until 5 in the afternoon during their week-long crack marathons. barf* barf*
in conclusion, tiesto still rocks!! his style in music these days are questionable to me, but it's always pleasant to the ears.
Here's an interview with the man himself!! Hella funny!! a must watch!!!
