I have long been waiting for an absolute Hardwell fan on the release of the new and the first actual album. >>> The following explanation may be skipped: Hardwell has indeed brought with the "Hardwell presents Revealed" series 5 compilations on the market, however, include these rarely own tracks. With the compilations he regularly may be expressed as a DJ in the real sense. With I Am Hardwell he brought in 2014, a first album supposed to market, which Hardwell himself but does not regard as such. I Am Hardwell is as Documentation (s. Corresponding DVD) emerged over Hardwell.
Hardwell called "United We Are" So when his debut album. He already has more than 8 years "music power" is more than demonstrated by the quality of the album. The tracks vary in some cases significantly from each other, the beats go each sufficiently far apart to be not dismissed as pabulum. So this pleasant one hand is so very Hardwell have to be careful, unfortunately, drift not too much towards mainstream. But watch out, the "problem" does not necessarily lie with Hardwell or the Mainstream: Who knows Hardwell already longer and followed, has its own idea of Hardwell. Regularly one is tempted to compare his tracks with his smash hit "Spaceman" (Call Me A Spaceman) from 2012.
This leads logically to the fact that dislike meet mistakenly expectations all tracks of the new album. Or as already written above: There is something for everyone (which is susceptible to this kind of music).
Conclusion: Most of the tracks still bring enough "pressure" with in order to be more House / Progressive as Pop. The current trend of the genre (s) is finally about to anyway, with a little more vocal elements to decorate the harsh sounds. One can not deny that the "United We Are" was designed quite well for the mass market. Not adapted 100 per cent satisfied with whom the track selection, etc. but should be satisfied with the quality of production with regard to the variety of melodies.
