Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
Tiesto, one of the world's most popular DJs, tries to broaden the playing field with his second artist record Just Be. Mostly self-written (except for the BT collaboration "Love Comes Again" and a remix of Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings"), his disc goes for transcendence right from the start with an earnest, uplifting string arrangement on "Forever Today." He keeps reaching, alternating dense-but-danceable new material with a few recent remixes ("Nyana" and "Traffic"), and vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw provides a blissful vocal on the soaring "Walking On Clouds." Yet dance floor Nirvana stays well out of range. By focusing so heavily on trying to evolve, Tiesto neglects his bread and butter: the build. Live, crowds froth at the mouth for his next beat to drop, and while that hot energy is not necessarily the goal here (check 2003's mix record Nyana for that), a better flow would help this record considerably. Though offering ready-to-remix parts, the whole of Just Be is too impatient to sound deep and forgets to let the peaks come naturally. --Matthew Cooke

5 out of 5 stars Proves DJ Tiesto is #1   August 13, 2008
Citi (Chinle, AZ USA)
All of the songs on this CD were beautifully well made. There are no complaints about this CD masterpiece.


5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Albums Ever Released By Tiesto   August 1, 2007
Anna Baldacchino (Canada)
Just be in my opinion is the best album ever released by tiesto. It starts of so smoothley with 'Forever today' and ends so brilliantly with 'Adagio For Strings' If you like Tiesto or if you never heard of him before BUY THIS CD. It is truly an unforgettable expierience and shows why Tiesto is ranked as one of the top DJ's in the world.

Tiesto, the idiot, the fool, the one who poisons the name of trance gives us yet another reason to hate him, He is just awful, it is beyond sad how horrifying it is to listen to the trash he promotes, please, tiesto, go away and leave us alone

Another torrent of mild tripe from everyone's "favourite" DJ, Tiesto.
What on earth is he going to do when the supply of inane, pastel-coloured eurovomit dance music runs out?
When I think about the number of times I've heard him touted as "World's Number One Best Voted DJ" or "DJ Mag Top 100 Finalist", you'd start to think that the man can actually mix records, when in fact rather than mix them, he tends to grind them together roughly into a nightmarish aural paste then reconfigure them violently in new, unusual and horrendously nauseating forms. I can absolutely confirm this. I have had the startling and displeasing experience of witnessing it live.
The sad truth of the matter is, that there are any number of drug-addicted fluoro-pants-wearing 16 year old ravers out there, and all are quite willing to buy boring rubbish like this. Or at least all are prepared to ask their mum and dad to buy it for them for xmas.
I sign off in disgust.
