Tiësto* – Drive

My album is fine. The pressing and MASTERING are on point.
What's the chop? The guy makes hits. He's smart. And he is a genre icon.
Buy it or don't. But this album has heat. The charts say so and so do the clubs as many of the songs get played at peak hour therein.
Let's Go! It's GOOD!

Messy release overall. With what people were saying about the misprints with a completely different album that got me very worried. Some track names are slightly different, and the last song is a completely different track from what was released digitally. Sound quality isn't bad, but it definitely seemed like Atlantic rushed these out very quickly.

Great album. The best Tiesto has ever written.
Not the boring millenial trance anymore, but pure dance pop house music here. Yes!

After inspecting my copy on the spine (back) it reads CDR can someone confirm?

Is this the same DJ Tiesto I grew up with? NO.

Is this a businessman (and has been for many years now) that creates tunes with the sole endgame of making money and driving profit? YES

Will it stop me from buying the record? NO, but I'll be in no rush to do so in the next few months and it's somewhere on the bottom tier of my long list of current 'must haves'.

Will I buy the record and find personal enjoyment out of it? PROBABLY NOT (unless I'm super drunk, which is often so then maybe), but it will be something to play mixed in with other tunes that will add a modern "sound" amongst an eclectic medley of time tested hits that will keep the party going and appeal to many ages.

Do I realize that that those that come on here and bitch about Tiesto not sounding like classic Tiesto are just doing so because they are holding onto hope that one day he will return to that sound that made him him and fans fans of his and yet, with each ongoing release such as this one, all hope continues to erode away? YES

Do I think that those who truly can't stand him anymore should shit or get off the pot and just move on? YES

Should I STFU now and stop asking retarded-esque questions? YES

Love this album. Very nice pressing. My copy is very quiet in bg.

A one star rating would be too high.. the last decent stuff Tiesto released was 2005, while some still less cacophony releases were done up to 2009... this stuff... holy cow... unfathomable to see an artist sink this low in their career.

I think we can set the statement: Tiësto reached the wall.
Beside he earns sheetloads of money with doing practicly everything what's trendy and popular at any moment, his music is not interesting anymore by any means. These sounds have already been done by others more properly, nothing can be heard that is new, fresh, innovative or emotional.
I absolute feel about this album as the "how do you do fellow kids" guy: it tries to be actual, but so hard and with so much painful sweat that in the end it becomes outdated as the best as it can.
A nice boomer try, without having anything what's for the youth. Fast music for fast people - latter is not by the good meaning.
I feel sorry about any manufacture who dared to press this thrash onto vinyl.

I like the music and the sound quality is good enough! My copy is warped a little, but there is no problem playing. I don't like the thin light vinyl, I want it 180gr (they fell sturdy and has a good feel to them).

Record player used: Pro-ject Debut Pro with Mofi Ultratracker pick up.

The LP sounds great but what's this new trend to have 2 mins songs ... I also want to work 20hs / week and get the same money for that!!! ;-)
