Advantages: Its a good mix of great songs.
Disadvantages: None

This album is excellent and i have not stopped listening to it since the day i bought it.

The only downside is that the album is not suitable for children as there is a lot of swearing and references to sex, drugs and alcohol (but its kind of what you expect ... Read review

It is a combination of beautifully sung soul songs and hard-hitting rap tracks. 1. Intro. The album starts with a big intro, an electronic voice telling us all that the sounds of Missy and Timba are not from the year 2000, but from the future, from the year 3000. 2. Beat Biters. We are then thrown into ... Read review

Advantages: Very good flow, some top tracks

...off with the title track Imagine and going into 'Going Wrong' which is going to be massive this summer, all the way through the the beautiful 'Intricacy' at the end. It is a big shame that 'If You Should Go' IMO the best track he has produced since Shivers is not on the album. This is a suprise as Armin started playing the track around the same time he started promoting the album. The only other detremental thing I would say about the album is ... Read review
