How is the new album? Familiar quality or commerce? Is it still Unholy? Let's hear it once in the concept album, the continuation of puppetry, pure!
The album starts off initially, similar to puppetry, with a quiet intro, which will join the listener to the Grosse Freiheit. Ship sirens and a radio resound, waves rushing, the ship picks up speed. It is faster. The Count asks to accompany him to the sea. Wanderlust grips the listener. Expectations rise.
But the optimism at once swings around in dramatic, rock tones. The ship arrives in distress. However, the storm is more of a balmy breeze. Dramatic words undramatic accompaniment. Nothing is forever and for eternity. After the storm of this track is different to a Born to live. Life, his childhood pulls past the protagonist. He remembers a time when he would have gone to his friend through the fire to then to fall a mixture of melancholy and positive future expectations in a confused world of feelings. The continuation of on your side, a hymn for the tear ducts and cold flashes, when the children's and youth choir of St. Stephen attaches to the chorus.
Down to the last man is peppy and good danceable continue the distress. The battle for the ship, he seems lost. Once the situation has relaxed, the actor in the dusk of maintenance as never feels me his dead comrades as close.
New courage to face life falls on him. the ship continues under fire, faster than ever before. A driving piece, in the best tradition machine. Click clack, clickety clack!
It follows the title track Grosse Freiheit. A ballad on the vastness of the oceans, to freedom. Finally, the protagonist feels again that freedom which he has experienced in his youth and has since yearned again. Despite mixed in the voice of Count. I belong to myself is the praises of their own individualism, to life without regard for losses. Without behind past times ago to mourn.
Finally, he returns to his home and sees its host star. As painful as the memories that are associated with it, so beautiful it is to return. The Protagnist compares the re-awakening the love, love for the homeland, is like a constellation. They accompanied a wherever you pull. "Maybe goodbye is a journey that promises to be a good-bye?"
Under your flag of the mother of Count dedicated. A song of thanks for all the back support he has received from it, wherever he has led his journey. A prime candidate for another single release after the piece very reminiscent of By Your Side.
After re-start the journey to the distant world on. After the support that he has experienced during his shore leave, the wanderlust again take possession of the protagonists. For owners of the standard version now the outro Neuland the intro The ocean takes up again while the lucky owners of the limited digipack version in front of it still can lead the two bonus tracks to heart. Give me a miracle is a call to an unknown power to give the actor strength to live his dreams to survive hard times. "Following on the shade really light?"
On course summarizes all the ups and downs of life, described by the storm and the support that we learn through his home, together again. A call to do what you believe in, positive to see into the future and not to deviate from the course.
CONCLUSION:
With Grosse Freiheit is Unholy has not developed for the worse. As a puppeteer is the album a "round" appearance, as one would expect of a concept album. There you will find both quiet ballads and driving rock songs on the album. When "bad" is not a title to call, but the Count has not reinvented the wheel with Grosse Freiheit.
The album is quite suitable for mass production, which is why a great success is to be expected. But that was puppet show already - with the difference that this last album was then not as heavily advertised as Grosse Freiheit under Universal Music.
If you like Unholy who has already found a liking to puppetry, can access safely. It would be a shame now because Unholy has managed the seemingly big break, turn away from the count because it "commercialism" is too much. For this, the music is too good.
