It's not bad, but it's not as good as i thought it'd be. Breeze's disc is pretty poor, Styles' is alright, but Hixxy's is by far the best!
The stand out tracks (ones that i haven't heard before) are:
13. Stairway To Heaven - Odyssey, Modulate & Petruccio
12. Kaleidoscope - Hixxy
14. Clubwalker - JB-C
And the best track on the album:
16. Re-loaded - Hixxy & Technikore!!
Absolutely incredible that one!
In my opinion obviously.

I'll not be buying the album. From the songs/clips I've heard it sounds like one of the worst albums in the series. Each album sounds more and more influenced to the clubland commercial dance sound and appealing more to its' fan than it is to the hardcore fans.
Got to take issue with that. I agree that that seems to have been the trend over the last couple of years/installments, but this year - I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems they've made an effort to try and do something a little different, steer away from that. It's more electro sounding, and a little harder and more punchy than usual. I, personally, think it's the least commerical-sounding one for a few years.
That said, it's a little, I dunno, trudging perhaps, if you were to make a general assessment of the beat/feel of the album. It's not as fluent as I'd like - but that's just my individual preference. I appreciate that they've tried to do something a little different.

I'm 8 songs into Styles' CD and that certainly isn't the case. Last breakdown, 16 bars, fader-flick, new song. Gay.

I +1 This, since it's true, It sounds allot more varied and it does seem that aatw have tried something new. Nevertheless they kinda failed...

most of the cd is just an embarrassment, i wish breeze and styles would just give up and retire

The 3 missing tracks aren't on the artwork, so they're not really advertising it. The tracklist is from play.com, if their their information is wrong, whether AATW sent it to them or not, it's not AATW's problem.
