"A big fan of ATB, I always knew that one day we all will get to listen to a great music created by ATB. This album proves that he is a great music producer. I have read the reviews below, many people have written against it, and many have said that this album is not a good effort by ATB. Of course, if you will compare this album with his (ATB's) earlier albums, you will be disappointed. Not because it's a bad album but because it is different from the earlier work by ATB. If you forget about his earlier albums and listen to this one without expecting the typical ATB stuff, you will love it. Listening to this album will take you thru all emotions, especially when you are listening to "I wanna cry" and "Hero". Actually, I think it's a good decision and a great effort by ATB to create a music, which doesn't sound too repetitive. Remember... Tones from 9PM till I come? This album is refreshing, and you can listen to it while doing anything."
Step towards maturity

"I had to step in after reading those mediocre reviews! I agree that a majority of the album is filler, but the collaborations with the Wild Strawberries are fantastic. ATB has always veered towards the cheesy side, yet, with the unique vocals of Roberta Carter Harrison on "Hold You," "Let U Go," "Hero" and "I Wanna Cry," the songs are the most mature work ATB's produced, and best of all, the tracks would fill any dance floor. My favourite track with Roberta has to be the remake of Olive's "You're Not Alone." Even though I'm a huge fan of Olive (Get their album "Trickle" everyone!), I have to say this one out does the original -- especially after the 3 minute mark when it just sizzles! Highly recommended, if only for the five tracks mentioned above."
Finally ATB hits the mark!

"Believe or not I throughly enjoy Dedicated. I own both of ATB's
older albums (TWO Worlds and Moving Melodies) and I must say that the energy of Dedicated far surpasses both of those discs. Sure there is Let U Go from Two Worlds on here and many call that a "filler" but the song sounds completely different from the Two Worlds release. Halcyon is another great TUNE which just makes you want to jump on the dance floor.
The album has its share of weak tune, I Can't Stand It comes to minds since it is so much more down tempo than the rest of the album.
All in all a very above average release. If you enjoy techno/pop than this is the cd for you."
Great for all things

"This cd is completly differant from two worlds or movin melodies. It is much more ambient sounding less of the jazz guitar and much more trace. This is'nt the fastest pace cd ever (although it does have a good mix of Let U Go on it).
I love cd it was a great refreshment from two worlds and movin melodies a new sound and a new style buy this cd you will not be disapointed.

Trance at its best!

"A lot of people don't like ATB because they think his stuff is too comercial. Forget about all that... good music is good music, and ATB delivers exactly that. Whether its energetic or chill out trance, Dedicated has it. ATB delivers his best record yet, you'd be crazy to overlook it. Check this out, ATB's music has the ability to lift me to another level, it should be no different for you."
