I don't understand why this track is ASOT anthem. But i just think this track is beautiful trance track. Is it just me? Nobody like this track in this forum...? umm... 🤔

Every people have different tastes, but if it doesn't suit this site 'Trance Style', you are just mocking them🥹...
La La La Trance? Euro Pop? Oh my... it's a very cheesy, and childish mockery😔

too sad... as a Trance Lover, it doesn't good that this site's stiff-minded as a old-school again, again, again....

It's not just trance what you like and listen.

If you think this comment is just whinge, I don't have anything to say...

I don't know about the other people here The reason why I don't like it is because I know what I like and the vocals, the instrumentations, melody and chord progression and drop and breakdown are terribly produced or cheaply produced compared to what Armin has produced in the past. It's nothing to do with taste either. You are more than free to like the track but we don't like the track. We do like trance but this ain't it.

Then what's this? :p :ROFLMAO::LOL:


I would say so yeah. I never really liked this "Fine Day" track, the vocals are bit annoying. And singing "la la la la la"... comon, that's just silly.

But at least the instrumental part, the track that's build around it, sounds warm and pleasant to the ears. :)

I do like it. Not very special but at least decent.

I think this is trance.

I may not like this track now, but this is the type of music when I first knew about trance in 2018. My favorite tracks back then were things like "Saving Light" by Gareth Emery, "Surrender" by Ashley Wallbridge, "Hold on to You" by Omnia, and "Stay" by Ben Gold. I'm still open to this type of trance with pop vocals + long & melodic breakdown + simple melody. Maybe because this is when I first found out music can be touching and make me cry. I don't hate this track.

The downside of this track is obvious, the intro melody seems to be lack of consideration, just copying the drop melody and pasting here regardless if it suits well here. The production sounds pretty "cheap" and cheesy (maybe?), even compared with "Saving Light".

At least this one is a decent trance track. It brings me back to 2016-2018. And what I could expect from Armin is no higher than that.

It is trance, but I hate the production quality. It sounds like garbage, even ignoring the melody and the vocals. And yeah, it sounds like "Saving Light," which I absolutely hate

The anthem has been released on Chinese platforms, and our community are mostly blaming Armin about "why the fxxk did he cut an entire minute off!" The final release is a whole minute shorter than the version played on EDC Miami 2025.

A stereotypical 5-minute trance track is nothing different from a fast-food EDM garbage. And Armin is keep letting out shit, and more shit, along with "decorated shit" (Chinese slang, being decorated to look fancy but still trash inside), with no exception, even in the anthem of the memorable 25th anniversary of ASOT.

It's wishful thinking that he is going to produce a nice trance production. I disagree with you guys. I mean that vocal breakdown is too long it sounds like pop record to me maybe future trance if you could call it that but not trance.

Basically we can call it eurotrance, just like back in the days, I dont mind the track, its fine, more commercial / mainstream, but catchy and enjoyable
