..and this guy is #1 dj in the world?
I didn't buy this album. My friend gave it to me and after 5 tracks I had enough. It's hard to beleive that it was made by supposedly best dj in the world in 2007! What a shame. You are not missing anything if you don't listen to it. The style of it reminds me of disco rather than trance, but Armin is a liar... remeber he used to say: "In trance we trust" hmmm...WHERE IS THE TRANCE part than?

AvB - Imagine review
Imagine CD has many excellent tracks. The eponymous track, "Imagine" will blow your socks off...it's best heard with volume turned uo and synthesizer set at classical. Have fun!

Why bother!
In short, don't waste your money.
Very disappointing as I have liked other AVB and often listen to his radio show.
It all sounds the same. Vocals are poorly mixed. It seems like there is no theme. No excitement. Just blah, blah, blah.

Complete waste of $$.

I am selling this cd ASAP.

Just Imagine...
Just Imagine: Armin Van Buuren takes you to an amazing journey of his newest work with a great variety of styles. Me and my friend picked up my copy right on the day it came out.. and boy we weren't disappointed. My friend loved it so much and he is not even a trance fan.. until now! At first I was very surprised with the amount of vocal tracks.. and thought that maybe the album was going to get lost in a very repeated female vocal mix. But I was wrong! Each and every track on Imagine has a different style with uplifting and downbeat tunes.. all representing different styles of trance, and progressive house.

Imagine: what an amazing song.. a great start to a great album.. The different elements that Armin used for this song are just amazing.. The guitar combined with trance is just unbelievable.

Going Wrong: we all heard this song.. just an amazing commercial track. Dark beats and very melodic.

Unforgivable: Beautiful melancholic vocals and great uplifting progressive music. Great combination.

Face To Face: One of my favorite tracks.. this songs starts very slow and then lifts up.. I love the piano and the elements of this song. Very melancholic and Imaginative. This song is great to just kick back and relax to it. It opens up your mind and you will travel in a time zone which can be both real and surreal.

Hold On To Me: perhaps my least favorite track.. but still pretty uplifting and inspiring. It is actually a very cheesy track.

In And Out Of Love: Great female vocal song! break beat style with a melancholic flavor. You'll like it if your into downtempo vocal trance.

Never Say Never: Another great song.. great lyrics and a great build up of down tempo to uplifting trance.

Rain: simply a trance anthem.. not a lot of lyrics but just beautiful. This is a definitely Armin at his best! Elated and inspiring! "Rain.. in the Rain!"

What If: very electro-like/trancy.. buy yet an interesting track with some interesting lyrics.

Fine Without You: Another of my favorite tracks.. great bass combined with uplifting guitar sounds.. and well perfect lyrics and vocals from Jennifer Rene.. this should definitely be a future single release.

Intricacy: complex song.. defining progressive trance..

Overall this has been the album for my summer. Different styles and tastes. Armin's best album.. in my opinion. You won't be disappointed.. just open up to the music and simply Imagine!

Wow
This is by far one of the best Trance albums ever made...its expected from Buuren and he definitely delivers!1
