If you never heard something in this style, and judge this as individual track, it's not extremely bad I guess.

But... This is the new hype... all non-steroid-artists start to sound like this. And that makes this track beyond boring.

Armin, Cosmic Gate, Laura van Dam, ARTBAT, Avira, Tim Van Werd (all names from ASOT 1000 event), it's like all music is made by 1 producer.

The template "techno" sound that the old guard are churning out now is the modern day version of "experimenting" by making Trouse. It's cheap and it already sounds dated somewhat (upon just hearing it)

It's an okay-ish kind of track that you play in the background and forget you have it on. If you listen to it actively though, it's all just a big pile of nothing. Creativity: 0. I liked his pop records more, to be honest.

Definitely. People will always say "you only like your specific kind of trance", but that's not true at all.

I enjoyed lots of Armin tracks. I Need You, Summer Days, Lonely For You. In the past Not Giving Up On Love. Forgetting lots.

He does release at least one track a week though, so... with that many releases you'll always like something lol. Theres just a lot to dislike too.

This is very trancey, but I dont like the voclas, but without them it would have been a great prog trance track :)

who cares if it sounds "trancey"
buy new ears mate, the melody is actually very trancey, just the vocals kinda ruins it
the big problem is that its a gimmick track and its sucks, thats all. its just cheesy, someone who listened to music/trance for so long should acknowledge this, no?

I agree it tries too hard and melody sucks it's farty with that lead and it doesn't give off any emotions or it doesn't express any raw authentic emotions in anyway. His old stuff you can hear it not in these recent ones. These tracks just come across as authentically unemotional just robotic tracks.

Is it me or do the vocals sound a bit like Richard Bedford in some parts?
Like when there is vocals in the song :)

I was just thinking why is he copying A&B and the Bedford sounding vocals are like the cherry on the top.

Although frankly I kind of like it...

Zero creativity. No one in their right mind would even consider listening this twice.
