I few things I would like to say about this release, without having listened to it.
Armin continues his trend to play short parts of tracks in his mixes. In ASOT not 20-24 tracks in 2 hours anymore, but 30-32. And at first I thought maybe it's cz tracks get shorter, but then how is it possible that from all 5 CDs, Armin's mix is the shortest, but contains by far the most tracks. Also, many of them are classics which were still long versions.
I don't understand why BT is still seen as a DJ. All he does is playing his own tracks/remixes. This CD is nothing new. He's a producer, not a DJ.
Then something positive, I really like it that Armin has chosen ánd a remix ánd a track from Tiësto. Maybe we can finally stop those discussions. He respects Tiësto, that's for sure now
