This isn't anything new. People have been idolizing Armin Van Buuren as the messiah for a really long time.

Armin's barely produced or played a good track since about 2004, which was around when ASOT got really really boring and the Armada label became a veritable empire flooding the scene with mediocre, pleasant but soulless melodic trance. I don't see what the big deal is.

I get just as frustrated as any other die hard out there but no matter how much shit we talk it ain't gonna change a thing. Start promoting and supporting the real Trance artists, they are the ones that need it most, Pulser's retirement speech is a prime example of this, he said it himself, the "real Trance sound" has no market anymore, America etc want to hear that pop shit, which is why we need to show the support to the few artist left that have stuck true to the game, and forget about the imitators.

Markus Schulz's Coldharbour label is under Armada, and from what I gather a lot of people on this forum like the music they release.
"Soulless but pleasant" is a pretty good way of putting it. I'm a little sad that the recent releases on Armind sound like they belong on W&W's Mainstage label. However, you should (re)listen to Armin's latest Gaia tracks. I thought they weren't that good until I heard them live... and wow.
My friend, who doesn't listen to trance, said yesterday "rap and hip-hop isn't what it used to be". Sounds familiar... what are you gonna do. Hate all you want but music changes and evolves.
