The only good song from Kaleidoscope.
**EDIT**
Despite the terrible album, hearing it LIVE and in the flesh…truely was one of the better experiences of my clubbing career. I’m not going to go back and change what i’ve said about Kaleidoscope because I honestly do feel it to be a terrible album, but I will say that hearing the tracks live is something off this world. If you get a chance, see Tiesto and experience Kaleidoscope Live; it’s just not the same at home.
Firstly, I tried to give it an honest listen, I really really did. I gave every track at LEAST 3 listens (except Louder Than Shit) with my awesome headphones, so it’s not like I was distracted by anything else.
Secondly, i’m all for artists changing genres. You can’t eat porridge every day, so I assume that goes for producing music too. At some point you get over making the same sounds. Yeah great, fantastic, all up for change. But when you change you’d better make something awesome. This was not the case here. Kaleidoscope is BORING. Boring in the sense that it has already been done before. It IS your typical electro music, all of it. It is cheese. It is mainstream, it is for the radio. You know what it sounds like? Those shitty dance remixes of songs you hear on the radio.
It’s not like I dislike the entire album. I actually like Feel It In My Bones & Not The Things You Say and that’s because I like Tegan and Sara’s voice, as well as that dude from Bloc Party. Their voices are amazing are the only thing carrying those tracks.
It’s the kind of album you want to play at a party – no one really cares what’s playing in the background, or pays enough attention, but it sort of fills the void. So if you like Ministry of Sound – The Annual, you’ll love Kaleidoscope. Or if you’re like me, you take lots of illicit substances that raise your serotonin levels beyond regular amounts and you’ll fucking love these songs live.
So sad when this happens, instead of saying “Man do you remember how awesome X was”. You start saying “Look at X now…”
Should’ve retired!
Nice pic hahah
I tottaly agree, Tiësto has totally lost it…Sad but true.
Tiesto was my favorite DJ for years. I used to love his songs, so this is very sad for me. I bought his album, went to my place, and when i finished hearing it, i just detested. The only thing that i thought was: “ofmg, he is so comercial right now, that i could cry.” yes, comercial. And comercial in eletronic music is cheap house, just like he said, those crappy mixed dance songs that you listen on the radio. Tiesto, come back. Really, your you seriously should retired.
or you you seriously should retired.* sorry for the mistake XD
