Editorial Reviews: Tiesto sticks to his guns on a new album of original compositions that follows 2004's Just Be. Elements of Life strikes a satisfying balance between inventive vocal tracks and signature trance stormers: "Ten Seconds Before Sunrise," "Driving to Heaven," and "Bright Morning Star" all glow with the Dutchman's epic sound, one that is simultaneously haunting and uplifting. On the vocal side, the soaring energy of "Break My Fall," which features BT on vocals, will not disappoint fans of the duo's prior work on "Just Be" and other collaborations. To be sure, there are a number of less convincing pieces as well: "Dance4Life" with Faithless's Maxi Jazz falls flat, and the lyrics of "Can You Feel Me" prove that the genre's reputation for banal wordsmithing is not entirely undeserved. For the most part, however, these weaker moments are outweighed by the stronger tracks. Principal among these is undoubtedly "Sweet Things"--in which Charlotte Martin's vocal high-wire act is complemented by some exceptional programming--a track that is sure to receive a great many spins by DJs around the globe and yet further proof that when it comes to bringing alive the female voice for the dancefloor, Tiesto remains without equal. All in all, it's a safe bet that many of Tiesto's Elements will be making their way into DJ crates and MP3 players alike. --Brent Kallmer
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: absolutely brilliant Comment: am a big fan of trance, progressive, house, techno, whatever you like to call it. think this album is one of the best i've heard in a long time. usually artist albums from djs are so so, if that, but i think this one is absolutely brilliant. for me the only thing that lets it down is the dance4life track - not keen on hearing the "only take e when you need to" and "aids/hiv is lethal" messages every time i listen. luckily the track is not mixed in and you can effectively remove it from the album when you put it on your mp3 player. Customer Rating: Summary: TIESTO TOPS Comment: WOT MORE CAN I SAY THIS GUYS A GOD CANT BE FAULTED IN ANY WAY TOOK A BIT OF GETTING USED TO BUT NOW LUV THE ALBUM Customer Rating: Summary: Ran Out of Ideas? Comment: This album is not anywhere near as good as Just Be. It is too middle of the road trance, don't get me wrong there are a couple of good tracks but nothing really stands out that much. Carpe Diem is the biggest dissapointment with almost the exact same structure and sound as Traffic. It makes you think he has run out of ideas when you here this track as it is so similar. For an avid Tiesto fan, then I'd reccoment you buy it. I'll still buy any future albums, but I will hope it's better than this. His DJ sets are still spot on though! Check out ISOS 5, it will restore your faith in Tiesto if this has dissapointed you. Customer Rating: Summary: A new style for Tiesto Comment: I have every Tiesto album released so far and was not disappointed with this one! It does take a few listens to really get into it. It's also a little different from his earlier stuff (Nyana) and some of the "In search of sunrise" albums. It's aimed more at the mass market but it still has a good feel about it, some of it being slower or more progressive. Although there are one or two not so good tracks the others outweigh them to make it worth buying. My favorite is track 3 "Do you feel", bring on the nrg, Enjoy!! Customer Rating: Summary: I love two songs on this CD. Comment: I really like Tiesto's music, as a Trance Fan. This cd though only has 2 decent tracks. They are, however VERY good and I enjoy them a lot. They are tracks 11 and 12. 11 being Elements of Life, a great, mellow uplifting song and the last one, the Pirates of the Carribean trance mixed version. The guy's a legend just for making this song!
