Years and years of musical evolution thrown to the wind. They try to imitate Bluvertigo but are nothing more than clowns. The lyrics, yes, they make sense, but everything is predictable.
I wonder: Are they for real, or are they just pretending?
''If you're a liar, I'm more than you, if you're a sl*t, I'm more than you...'' this is more or less the synthesis of ''More than you'' and I don't know if it’s an attempt to open the eyes of the youngsters to show them that the young generation is now lost (just look around and you see, what are they called? Ah yes, the ''posers'') because everyone (or almost, at least not me) wants to be what they are not, altering their growth disastrously, or the exact opposite.
Dario's voice is unbearable, it sounds like a crow blaring continuously, you can hear it especially in ''Love is calling us'', another super-commercial piece (all the tracks are commercial). The synthesizers are booming and ''From me'' starts, which has more or less the same concepts as ''More than you''.
I don't even want to review this album anymore.
''Defective'' is the fourth track of this Flop-Album. Well, what can I say. It's the usual commercial stunt. With ''In the head'' the dARI try to convince us that they have grown musically by having us listen to a 'romantic' ballad complete with strings and piano, quite unusual for them, the same thing with the next track ''Don't let me miss'' which starts well, but that disco synthesizer riff that completely changes the atmosphere ruins everything and my expectations.
''I'm going out'' is the most useless track by Dari, well, not that the others aren't. ''Ask yourself why'' is kind of a contradiction of what they would like to say, just listen and read these words from the song: ''Ask yourself why we live in a devastated state'', you should ask yourselves that dear Dari. ''Touch my heart'' is as useless as ''I'm going out''.
The last track (I didn’t think I’d get to review this far) ''Bonjour'' is the most ''rock'' track of the album and they even try to teach us French, Bass à-la Mike Dirnt and megaphone, perhaps the most successful track of the album.
Overall, yes, they have grown, but they continue to make ''music'' of ......

Why? Why? What is the point of putting together 4 guys who are no longer children and making them sing this garbage?
I find it really horrible that the appearance of singers is lately considered almost more important than the music they produce.

"The dARI managed to create a unique and inimitable sound known as Emotronik (Emo-Electronica)."
"The CD opens with a blazing Pop Punk track, namely 'Wale tanto Wale', where the guitar literally explodes into a breathtaking riff."

What I am about to review is what I think is the ugliest album I have ever listened to.
Tokio Hotel are much more decent than this stuff (and that’s saying something).
