Was going to say. Digital version isn't out yet (got taken off Juno too, probably because of the prievews), and all online stores seem to start shipping on the 15th. I guess it's possible you were over in Europe for a while and bought it in a store there, but come on.

[D-Nemacyst]

taking a listen to the previews now and im currently at number 5 and not one has bored me yet.
They've all got the melody/synth style i like.
if there would be one thing. there's an awful lot of pianowork in all of the tracks.

EDIT

After 9 tracks it has gone to a halt. i don't like trigger because the break spells a massive synth but then it's a bit of a letdown.
Other tracks i didnt like were the Kingdom remix and the Start Rocking Remix which makes 3 which also makes this a brilliant piece of album.

La Nuit Noire by far my favourite. what a track. fan-fucking-tastic

Don't act like nobody is downloading music here - i admit i downloaded this album cuz simply i really didn't had any impression that it'll be great.

And well... i've listened once, Pollen definately has some great sounds design skills but c'mon, there're like 2 or 3 kicks on whole album They're simple sucking any energy from tracks... and i must say mostly melodies sounds really cheap too, quite gay.
As for now the only track which i really like is "La Nuit Noire". But i'll give it a second chance

Funny, I counted 17 new kicks... ;)You should give it a second chance!!

[D-Nemacyst]

01. The Pitcher - Trigger, Do not like. the break takes all the energy out of the melo&synth
02. The Pitcher - La Nuit Noire, fucking tune, epic anticlimax and melo.
03. The Pitcher - Release Me, Good singing. good melo, good kick. good track
04. The Pitcher ft. Zany & DV8 - Fuck Hardstyle, DV8 needs to buzz off rest of the track is rough.
05. The Pitcher - Savor Time, bit happy & cheesy but i like the melo and the kick
06. The Pitcher - Sky Rocket, brilliant melody great track
07. The Pitcher & MC Renegade - Smack, nice intro rest is allright
08. The Pitcher & Slim Shore - This Is Who We Are, love the melo, expected a bit more from the rest.
09. The Pitcher - Little Bitch, Love the b-front style in this
10. The Pitcher - Mad Killer, love the attack in the melo and the kick is delicious
11. The Pitcher & Noisecontrollers - Shut Up, nice track all around
12. The Pitcher & B-Front - Noctus Noa, brilliant melo and kicks. love this dark track.
13. The Pitcher - Burn It, Brilliant anti climax, reminds me of something donkeyrollerslike
14. The Pitcher - Bangrindin' (Noisecontrollers Remix), Allright nothing special imo
15. The Pitcher - Start Rocking (D-Block & S-Te-Fan Remix), Original is 10000000 times better.
16. The Pitcher & Noisecontrollers - Cherish, like this one alot. the short synths are cool.
17. D-Block & S-Te-Fan - Kingdom (The Pitcher Remix), too weak, too happy, better than the original but i don't like it still.

[DjPractice]

listened to previews. this is really really bad. nothing stands out at all. best track on there is Fuck Hardstyle along with Smack. the rest has been done before

not for me at all

[Orbi]

Eh, most of it is usual cheesy Pitcher style. The remixes do nothing for me (though Bangridin' is pretty cool) and there's a number of throwaway tracks, but I wouldn't explicitly call any of it bad. Overall I find it enjoyable if you're into The Pitcher's usual cheesy style (see: his last few Fusion Releases) and even then stuff like La Nuit Noire and Noctus Noa fulfill that requisite 'dark' section of an album and are fairly good.

[Valency]

High quality technically. Poor musicality and diversity.

[Orbi]

That seems to be accurate.

[D-Nemacyst]

Appeals alot to the right public.

[Ripcat]

This album is awesome just what i was looking for. love my hardstyle to have a good melody and if it doesn't then it can gtfo.
