Album Review
There’s something good about this band from Germany; its name. Their sound is a combination of electronic sounds, Pop and R&B and is slightly better than elevator music but they keep the proper levels of yawn so very own to the third class Pop. Even Justin Bieber sounds more real than them. The remixes aren’t better at all; in this pulp only the Fantohm remix pops out due to its harsher electronic sound. Beyond that point only chaos is to be found! Admittedly it is difficult to write lyrics about love and even more difficult to write them about unfulfilled or unrequited love. The slightest mistake inevitably leads to ridicule. The narrator has lots of problems which consist of the specific; the other one does not want him/her. What to do?!
I don’t know dear, have you tried Samantha Fox’s way with the ‘Touch me’ or RAMMSTEIN’s ‘Pussy’? Or try the music of Barry White to create atmosphere? If he pisses you off try to do what Kathy Bates did in ‘Misery’ and tie him up (he might like it after all). For Christ’s sake don’t make a CD out of it, just try to move on! The sea is full of fish! The band should be paying a shrink in order to listen to their weeps instead of asking the listeners to pay them in order to share in with their lamentations. At one point the singer, Stephanie, is wondering what the other guy might find if he reads her diary. Personally I bet that he has already done so and the only thing he found was doodles of cupid arrows and hearts, and the cost of the wedding dress; that’s why he disappeared. Considering that both music and lyrics are of poor quality, the first six songs belong to the trash bin and the rest to the recycle one.
