 His best since State of Trance 2006 October 7, 2008

Yeah, he finally did it again! Both discs are ridiculous they are so good. i always compare any Armin to his in the club 2006, to me that was his greatest mix he has ever produced so to have something even come close is amazing. I really dont know how other Dj's dont take a clue from him> i would say the closest thing to him is now Above & Beyond or Tiesto's ISOS vol 4 Latin America disc 2, which is the best he's ever produced in my opinion. I hope Armin keeps this up and knows why people are loving his mixes, cause i dont want him to go the oaky road and start making what sound like early 90's dance albums. Buy this...
Incredible! Definitely Worth the Wait! Highly Recommended!! October 7, 2008

All I have to say is... WOW!!
Talk about some amazing and beautiful trance melodies! ASOT 2008 was definitely worth the long wait! Before listening to ASOT 2008, my favorite compilation of the year was Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise 7: Asia. But this one blew Tiesto away! I own the entire A State of Trance series and this album is tied with 2007 as the best! The first CD "On The Beach" is filled with gorgeous, melodic tunes that fill up your car, your living room, your workout at the gym, or, like the cd says, on the beach at a beach gathering! Alot of trance can be repetitive with the same old ambient sounds and beats. Not in this selection. You get melodies and beats from songs that are unique and original in their own way with exotic and beautiful vocals. But the beautiful and impressive part is how Armin put these tracks all together into one continuous dance marathon. That's the most difficult part that will make or break a compilaton CD, and Armin created a masterpiece! The second CD "In The Club" is filled with high-energy, beat-pumping, trance and progressive trance that will give you goosebumps and make you feel like you're in the middle of a club on the island of Ibiza -- known as the greatest and most popular party island in the world!
Overall, this is an absolutely amazing album and the best compilation in 2008! You can listen to this album in almost any setting... if anything, buy it for your workout at the gym. Forget creatine and use this music as your fuel for your weight training and cardio! I usually play the ASOT podcasts from Armin's radio show on my iPod in my car and use it as my morning coffee on my way to work. This album will be playing in my car for quite some time! ASOT 2008 shows why Armin Van Buuren deserves to be ranked as 2007's #1 DJ in the world, and if the new DJMag polls do him any justice he will be ranked #1 again for 2008 (DJMag new rankings released Wed, October 29th, 2008 in London, UK). Thank you Armin for your time, consistency, and dedication in creating the best trance and dance music in the world! Long live Armin!!
Flat fantastic!!!! October 11, 2008

Wow - Elegant, edgy and very refined! State of Trance 2008 could be the perfect balance between tempo and content. Mr. Van Buuren is getting very serious about delivering an experience that moves into another realm allowing you to suspend thought and ride a trance audio vibe that is truly fresh. Aside from the volume of pure music (2 CD's) the quality of the content is flat fantastic. I own all of the State of Trance series and 2008 is the one CD I would grab on my way out the door of a house fire - Buy it!
A musical Journey October 8, 2008

Flat out, I am EXTREMELY impressed with this mix. First of all, if you are new to trance, THIS is how it is supposed to be listened to. With other genres of music, you usually are looking for a good artist. Not necessarily the case with trance though, you really want a good DJ that can mix different artists' songs together, giving you tastes of the best of everybody's flavors. Well, Armin is the #1 DJ in the world right now, and for a reason.
The mixing last year was impecable, and this year, better than ever. Songs flow into each other beautifully. Some thought was definitely put into not just the song selection, but song order for the mixing of the songs into each other. Other DJ's can just throw songs into each other and it usually comes sounding ok or good. Armin here, adds the extra touch, the whip cream and cherry on top if you will, with little ambient noises added in here and there. Little things that make everything flow into each other. Basically, if you gave the original songs a listen, they are slightly different than on here. Armin takes em', puts em' together, and then molds them into each other creating one big melody of trance bliss.
Also I've found with other DJ's that try to do this, choose songs that are very similar and put them next to each other thinking that they mix well together. Well... there is some truth to this, but this can not be followed, because this gets boring after a while. A DJ CHANGES the mood, doesn't keep it the same the whole time. Imagine if you went to a wedding and every song was a country song... even old Uncle McGraw would get sick of this after a while. Song selection and mixing have to be perfect to perform a drastic change in musical moods like this to be received well by the crowd, or in this case, us listeners. Armin is wonderful at this. Example is "Satori Waterfalls", which is a beautiful song, with melodic 'tribal' chanting that provides the main melodies. Well right after Armin turns the "electro" nob up and gives us "These Shoulders". If you listened to these two songs separately, you wouldn't think they would go well together... Armin thought other wise. He thought right.
One more thing, there are some things done here I have not heard before, even on his shows or Tiesto's. It's a good change. Trance has been kind of doing the same stuff for a while here, it's time it evolves some more. Armin is doing this, pushing trance where it hasn't gone before. Different styles of songs, different ways of building up and climaxing. Again, I'm just really really impressed. A large fan should be supplied with this so whenever you get to one of these moments on ASOT '08, it can add to your "blown away" effect.
All in all, this is beautiful. From the melodic uplifting songs that will make you want to chill out on the beach and just listen while taking in the waves coming in, to the catchy electronica that will have you up and dancing, sending electrical signals to areas of your body that you didn't know existed, everything here is Grade AAA.
