Compared to its predecessor album Bel Air, the album should sound again rocking, it was beforehand. Well the one hand, true, on the other hand it is still far from the sound of the first three albums. Not all convinced me, but compared to Bel Air, it is an increase and overall I give it 4/5 stars. On some songs I would like to focus:

Like Somebody (4/5): Refrain again a little harder and beautiful bridge, but the vocals and the lyrics in the verse (Welcome to the Jungle baby) seem somewhat strange.
Close tot he Sun (2/5): Very nice song, very pop and catchy, but without any edges. Nice for the radio, ugly for me.
Fake (3/5): Here guitars and drums are the focus and carry through the song. Actually quite good, but with the electronic background beat I can not make friends.
Jiggle (5/5): From here, the penultimate song, the album takes on a sudden momentum. Playful verse alternates with harder refrain from, and at the end of a rap deposit under oriental background music is still embedded. Might sound funny, but think it is on the contrary one of the most interesting and diverse songs on the album.
The Long Way Home (5/5): A quiet song, in which everything fits. All instruments are slightly distorted, the result is a sound garment, which is new to the Apes and grabs me immediately.

Conclusion: The album is a step in the right direction. It is a little rockier compared to Bel Air again and are no songs that I do not like. Some act but catchy and interesting. At the end of the album increases again and therefore I forgive 4/5 points.
