My partner surprised me with the album today and its been playing non stop since!
Its fkn wicked - heres my mini review :
Sound without a Name remix kicks over the original
Take Ya Down - awesome choooon
Pandora - really dam catchy
Universe - acidy, freeformy and sexual
Take Me Away - the electro drop is really phat with recognisable lyrics to sing along to :)
over all - a must have!!!!!!!!!

Shining Star - one of my favorite tunes on the album, great vocal and future anthem!!!
Universe - Love the acid style, almost freeformish. Something a bit different from him.
Take Me Away - I know its a remix, but with the added drums it adds a bit of flare. Love it!! The drop in the middle is sweet too!! Didn't see that comin at all, lol.
Sound Without A Name - Definitely agree this mix beats the original. Another future anthem!!
Rock Me Out - Typical clubbish type of tune from Styles. But he really sticks to his roots in this one.
Like A Bitch - This one is very catchy!!!
Holding On - A future classic!!! Cant wait for this one!!
Overall I was impressed with it. It blew my expectations out of the water. Now it'll be some time before he releases the DJ friendly ones on Junkbox. But they'll be worth the wait.

not what I expected... so I deleted it. Darren didn't lose money on me for pirating it, he lost money from me because the album sucked. If it actually contained dj friendly mixes I might have bought it for just Sounds without a Name. But meh... not this time sucker.
Anyways, I did preview the tracks, but their basicly all the same. The only one that where nice where Sound without a Name and Universe.
Sound without a Name - sounds better in low quality to be honest :P But overally the track is very Darren when was calling himself Unique.
Universe - This song got me thinking about Scooter - Coldwater Canyon, which isn't so bad after all.
Higher Ground - the live version that was uploaded a few months ago sounded different from this version. More true to the original. Original is better.

let's be honest though, the average raver does not want to want to have to listen to 2-3 phrases of beats before they get to hear their favorite tune!

Well I'm not the average raver tho. Heck I don't even rave. But I like Intro's and Outro's. Especially if I end up wanting to mix the track.
hutchy: and I aint the last one :P

I agree! its a album for the general public and not djs to rip and do their own intros and outros to. Most of us who are are actual djs and play out are happy to wait till the release versions and pay for it to support each other and the scene.
I'd have liked the album to have been an mixed album to be honest but i thought the productiong quality was high, theres alot of variation in the tracks from the uplifting vocals to the darkers one and some wicked varying breakdowns from choir opera lady to dnb and triplets or happy chords. i Beg to differ with you on this one Samination.

If he made them full tracks instead of cuts then maybe they wont have to :P And to be honest. I dont think it would be that hard for them to do.

it's not hard, but they won't do it either
this album, as well as last DS album, is catered to the masses. and the majority of the ppl don't care about dj friendly unmixed tracks. only a select few such as you and my self as well. i'll hold out until the songs i want are available for download and dj friendly. even if that never comes.
