Imho:
Well, I heard it and in was very frustrating thing. I had big expectations because the 1st album was gr8 and emotional. This one is a big disappointment for me. Full with exaggerated melodies like some bad actor in a soap opera.

Here we are the second album of vibe tribe,
The search didn't work, checked the first two pages so if there's already a review of this album, be so free to place this one beneath the old one, I didn't find it
well it will be a short review, like their first album there is not much to analyze with vibe tribe, as usual they have their typical baseline and their typical melodic sound and that's it, from the beginning until the end they use that sound over and over again, what creates the concept that if you like it you will be happy satisfied, but if you don't like it you will hate this album for real,
Reviewing track by track is not necessary and even impossible imo, vibe tribe is just vibe tribe,
Well I'm seeing them live tomorrow in Belgium together with highlight tribe so this album drawled my attention, why not check it out if I'm going to see them live any moment...
the first album I didn't like that much, it was very melodic, extreme melodic, but basic pure synths going up and down and based on the 'kick' of being the most melodic and euphorically and yes everybody can create that, it's not that original...
but yet this second album surprised me, I won't be hypo, vibe tribe has still there same pattern, very melodic euphorically sounds, less advancement , at the 2 min you get overloaded by fullon melodies over and over non stop, the baselines are very floating and subtitle...,
Still what is so remarkable about their second album?
I say they actually learned a lot comparing to their first album,
Vibe tribe actually learned the concept of 'playing with the sound' and keeping the listener busy...
they still use the same sound, a bit different off course but the way to use up and down is very good, they actually create the feeling they perfectly know what they are doing and every step and sound is been thought true...
The melodies are in the beginning present as always but although is very melodic you have the feeling they try to tell a story and create advancement...
It’s very motivating, the atmosphere is different, and the climaxes don't suddenly stop anymore but float kindly away and appear at the end again so they create a concept...
Using breaks with pianos and some emotional silences makes it more special then the first album what is good...
The baselines aren’t always the same, they are still typical vibe tribe but you notice they actually tried to create as many varias in the baselines as they could,
There sound speaks like telling a story which has a bit that happy fluffy leprechaun dancing style, but that's nice,
It makes you smile and is very motivating...
I just say, with using so little of sounds and baselines they created a very varieted album,
Preciously is there choice to only use not much that sounds, and keep it very euphorically and not that psychedelic,
Well ok for me, I accept there idea,
I admit, if the sun is shining, you're walking on the street and put this on your mp3 player, you will walk faster  and have sudden smiles on your face,
People will look at you and think why the hell is he smiling, but we know 
I'm excited to see them live tomorrow because vibe tribe is dance floor killer music and I believe they will keep me dancing the whole live act long...
The third album I really don't know what to expect, cause I predict/have the feeling they reached the top with their sound, there's imo noting more to accomplish, another direction maybe???
Or another surprise,
Who knows?
Still keep up the good work,
It’s been playing on my mp3 player all week long; the sun is shining here in Belgium at last
It all fits
I hope you will experience it as I do,
Subjective fact is, it just like released at the perfect moment in my country, and it’s the first sunshine we experience here so this album was very welcome imo...

good review Side-effect, enjoy reading your stuff Hope u enjoy them live btw! I know i did, last month April 2 here in Portugal where they presented much of their new stuff from this album 
Also liked this album better than the first. More diversified perhaps. First 2 tracks are a bit extra cheese imho but the first album also had its moments lol.
From Carousel and on it's an WHOLE different matter though. The style, variations and i daresay genious present in the melodies and construction in their stuff reminds me much of good old Infected Mushroom. great stuff!
Favs: 3(!!!), 4(!!), 5(!!!), 6(!!!! @3.52min WOW WOW WOW), 7(!!!), 8(from 2.08m on !!!), 9(!!!), 10(!!!!)
!!! means GREAAAT SONGS
!!!! instant alltime favs 
On par with the powerful blasting SouthAfrican full-on (Brethren, TwistedSystem, PitchHikers) and the cooler and also great Hujaboy's last album, this creatively melodic piece of art has to be one of this year highlights no doubt! Great stuff!

I've always been a fan of Vibe Tribe, once I travelled 800km to see Stas Live Act and it was worth.
I bought their second album before listening to it, but when it arrived (a week ago) I did not liked it very much... Why? Because their 1st album was exceptional and this one does not brings as much innovation as the first one.
The production level is very good, the tracks I liked the most up to now are Dream Catcher (for home listening) and LFObia. I admit their remix to Sperminator work wonders on dance floors, the bass sounds a lot seven days from XI and Switch (though I know Vibe Tribe did the remix much before the Growling Machines rmx to Switch were made).
So I was expecting something else from this release, for me it is better to home listenning, I don't think I'll play these tracks on my Sets. But that's my personal taste, I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this release.
Good luck Stas and Elmar, keep making music, I'm sure you are cooking some new and fresh stuff.
Respect!

I don't like (usually) to give bad reviews... But in a few words, I can't stand this would-be ravey sounds and these big and easy melodies... Guess I'm getting older....
On the positive side:
I quite liked the acoustic parts of 'dream catcher', really original for once!
Memories almost got me into an extasy, so i guess it's a good track too
Nice remix of X-Noise too!
But a big fat cheese in the middle.......

funny you should say that cos i actually found the acoustic part in that track to be the cheesiest moment in the whole album
GREAT ALBUM!!!!
excelent top notch production, great for dancefloors, really good tracks with great melodies
even though they use that same sort of synth in most of the tracks this album remains interesting with the awesome melodies and the fact that the tracks tell a story 
i liked it so much i had to burn myself a copy for the car!
faveorites: All except 2 !!!!
great work vibe tribe and utopia records for another smasher

Is this psychedelic trance, or psytrance? Or just (modern) trance?

i havn't heard too much of Vibe Tribe's 1st album, and it's not really my style, but i listened to the promo and it's actually pretty good, i like some of the ideas and the melodies. have to give some more listenings to this one. and since i have this fetish for triolos, Three Quarters already sounds really good.
