Shivers

Been hoping this would come out on Vinyl and here it is! Delivery driver was so nice too!

I just heard the famous song "Shivers" on videos, I thought just a reqular thing with no innovation but the song never left my imagination and now I know why Armin Van Buuren is truly an innovator in the dance genre. So MR Van Buuren Keep it up.

Enjoy Armin's finest work in the genre he was originally known for. Great production. Must own CD!

First off, ignore these other reviewers, as they don't know what they're talking about(look at some of their other reviews). Alright, everyone should be pretty familiar with Armin Van Buuren already, so I won't go into all that. This album is such an improvement over his first album "76" that for me it's hard to tell it's even the same person. I love well done Trance, and have for quite some time now in all it's different incarnations. I can't stand cheeseball amatuer artists like Darude, ATB, DJ Sammy, 4 Strings ETC, ETC, to me there's no bigger insult to a true fan of dance music. I was all over "Communication" when it was first released then years later Armin dropped "76". I was not impressed. Cheesebomb after Cheesebomb, I thought "Communication" was the best track on the album, and by that time it was already a few years old. Anyway rest asured Armin made sure his sophomore effort would not suffer the same fate. Track for track, from start to finish "Shivers" has some absolute anthems here. All grounds are covered too, tracks go from dark and moody to bangin euphric bliss. Tracks 1 through 4 are all boardering pretty close to cheese, but still come out okay. My personal favorites are tracks 5, 6 & 9 . Finally I think the real Trance producers of the world are tired of these B list amatuers ruining their good name, and I think it's about time. Thank you, and welcome back Armin.

So this may not be a usual AVB album. And it does have a few slow and/or weird tracks, that are not his usual work. But, about 70% of the album is actually pretty good. This means that roughly 7 out of 10 tracks are a good trance. Any AVB fan would want to own this one, even if just for the Shivers only, so that his/her library will be complete. Oh by the way, there's a hidden song on the last track ;)

I don't understand all the bashing of this album! I loved it! Then again I liked some of Armin's previous stuff but some of it I wasn't crazy about. This album is very different from ASOT 2005 but in my opinion, in a good way. I am a freak about sound systems, and this cd is perfect for when I feel like zoning out and listening to something techy-sounding w/skull-rattling bass. The vocals are good and not cheesy! If you just listen to this CD on a regular stereo then you probably won't like it!

In the day of progressive trance/house being ushered in by John Digweed, Sander kleinenberg, and Danny Howells, it's so terribly damn refreshing to hear songs like Wall of Sound Zocolo, and Golddigger. Shivers and Serenity are the two tracks that Armin gave the raver children of today. If you want hard-pounding Armin, this is definately not the cd for you. Check out his State of Trance live mixes from the UK radio scene. This cd is a DJ's dream. Expect to hear remixes of almost all of these tracks in the future.

I don't understand all the bashing. This is a great album ... a bit different from the mainstream vocal trance.

Celui que j'apprécie le moins! Jai moins accrocher même si les mélodies reste sympa et que je l'écoute régulièrement!! :-)

Lo compré para un regalo, el valor nostálgico que tiene para mi cualquier vinilo de Armin hace que todo se me haga barato. Totalmente recomendable. No se ha escuchado a Armin hasta que se escucha en vinilo.

Gefällt mir sehr gut und eines der besten Alben von ihm, das ich habe.

really pleased with how this came , arrived on time and was in un-played condition , really happy, the sleave is also undamaged and the record still has that tissue paper cover on it

Lo compré para mi cumpleaños en 2022. Llegó perfecto, muy bien protegido. Hasta la fecha sigue con los mismos embalajes para mantenerlo bien cuidado.
