Armin van Buuren & Cosmic Gate - REFLEXION (ASOT 2023 Anthem) [ASOT]

[TeardropNL]

Nothing special here unfortunately.

 

[Archon]

Nothing new but I don't hate it.

What's really strange is seeing Armin perform for skiers. Did not expect it. This music is so not suited for this occasion.

 

[Progrez]

Bleh!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[trancedanne]

Garbage music

 

[Julian Del Agranda]

Hmmmm I actually liked that first main lead in the breakdown. Not too bad melody, it was looking promising.

but then for no reason that stops and that weak bleepy synth comes in. The whole energy and atmosphere gone.

Aweful.

Not even sure what the point in Armin is anymore. who actually likes this type of crap?

 

[Pokkryshkin]

Not great, not terrible

 

[Freezer]

Typical bigroom Asot anthem track, not bad, it has some anthemic feel to it, but overally this is not my prefered style, way too much clubby / festival oriented
5/10

I feel this has been on the shelf for a couple of years. You can hear the CG before they went prog and the lead from Armin/Benno.

 

[FSOEBirmingham]

such a shame the anthems have lost their way.
500 was a catchy one, even 550 was alright.

 

[Mikey]

Not too bad! Doesn't top anthems like Status Excessu D or Invasion but one of the better anthems in recent years

but then for no reason that stops and that weak bleepy synth comes in.

That bleepy synth actually gives me throwbacks to the High Contrast sorta sounding stuff in the early 2010's so doesn't bother me much, although I know it wasn't everyone's cup of tea back then

I have noticed that his tracks have become shorter and shorter. This one the radio edit is only 2 minutes short. Soon we will get #short /titkok versions of just 30 seconds to 90 seconds of music from the look of it.

I've not heard much music these days (work etc etc) and kinda knew when I clicked on play what to expect. The analogy of "anthem" tracks never really took with me because it's the artists who seem to badge it for everyone. Self proclaimed by the artist, not the listeners, purchaser etc etc...

Sorry rant done.
Hope everyone is well!

Peoples attention span is getting shorter and shorter. These guys does everything in order to appeal to the mass market. From a business standpoint, who can blame them?

Look through the comments those people will tell you that they really like this kind of crap.
