A&B has gotten worse since Tri-State

Much less energy. Less atmosphere.
I love euphoric harmonies. Pumping beats too. Atmosphere is good for trance.
Above & Beyond is lower quality than Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Talla 2XLC, or Sean Tyas. Those are quality music.
Please do some super-pumping beats, atmosphere, and euphoric harmonies. I don't care too much for hypnosis, though.
EXCELLENT!

Good God! Great cd but seriously both male & female vocals are amazing! I love all the tracks. Keep doing what you’re doing. Plus bring back Oceanlab!

Not their best - Ratings of individual tracks included in review

By Gabriel.Marc
Based completely on my opinion, I feel this album is not their best and I was expecting more. Below is my rating system from 1-5. I've also included how I rank the tracks from their previous albums Group Therapy and We are All We Need so you can use that as a comparison.
Rating system:
5- gives me chills, pumps me up, this song goes on a special playlist of top tracks I play on repeat
4- I'll seek this track out from time to time when I'm in the mood for it, overall great track
3- If it comes on via shuffle or album I'll let it play and generally enjoy it, but won't seek it out individually
2- I'll skip this track if it comes on, but I don't judge it as bad song, just not my type
1- Definitely skip, judging as poor quality track/does not belong with the album

Overall: Where group therapy and We are all we need get 5/5 on my rating scale - as in I get chills when I listen to the album, get the blood flowing, and would consistnetly pick these albums to listen to - Common ground gets 3/5. By all means its a decent album, but nothing wow'd me about it and for the most part after the novelty wears off it will remain more or less unplayed in my library.
