New soundscapes beschritten- old fans scared?

For 17 years Scooter divide the masses. What is the guarantee for good mood for a (as for me) is always the same for other fair garbage. But even in Fanlager the voices were later than the last album 'Under the radar over the top' where the problem addressed previously Jumpstyle wurde- exacerbated with hardcore elements loud, it lacked variety and surprises. And the first single 'The Only One', which presented the typical Scooter sound, flopped in the top 50. We have now got all the full receipt.

Even the audio samples of the new album, whose title is really justified left, some suspect: Scooter judge on the new album their way mostly new.
The very first songs for all die-hard fans a culture shock on the first pass (and later still): Here we get filthy Dubstep placed in the ears. A very own style, where many gadgets with vocals, synths and especially the bassline driven. The rhythm changes before, it is usually but rather be described as sluggish. At the most successful of which is the opening track and second single 'David does not eat', which shines with catchy verses and Nick Straker's 'Walk in the park'.
Succeeded are also two other Dubstep tracks: Richard Sanderson's sweetish 'Reality' sounds pretty cranky when the rhythm is here a bit faster in 'Dreams'.
'Beyond The Invisible' is a bit more cumbersome than the previous two because the track in the chorus moody fails and the gadgetry here carried to extremes werden- whether the Schlumpf rape HP Baxxter originate? Nevertheless, this track is very charming.
After 3 songs the degree of Dubstep is exhausted and Scooter squinting in the next two tracks first on the charts. In 'Sugary dip' the guys in the chorus of 'Have you ever been mellow?' made and satisfies the typical Scooter principle here a little more than before, but orentiert to the trends, with Guetta- and Quitsch sounds.
For me, more of a skip-candidate, this is 'It's a biz (Is not nobody)' grade gone still as good as Pitbull copy. That's what you owe in particular the Women's Chorus melidiösen and I this something other Fantastic Four can not always take very seriously.
After 5 numbers we can breathe easy: They still exist, the good old scooter tracks.
'C'est bleu' is heard in the sound of the controversial predecessor disc (what one again would be here, funny), along with the pop singer Vicky Leandros is a great feature succeeded, especially the chorus is to be implemented in typical old-style scooter. Herrlich, so what to listen, despite successful experiments; one may not equal wean the altbeliebten sound quite the fans indeed.
With '8:15 To Nowhere' is before the first instrumental track, lying with pizzicato sounds and squeaking sounds a simple and catchy melody knitted. I have always surprised low expectations of the instrumental pieces Scooters, why I'm here positively.
'Close your eyes' can be among the music pieces of scooters, which colonize more territory in a trance. The chorus sounds unusual hymnal, an atmospheric technical improvement but remains in spite of bright Greater trance synths; the rhythm is a little gentler here.
With 'The only one' we come to my favorite. Mir is still a mystery how the single release is like no other so flopped. Well, the chorus despite all catchiness no anthem character, anyway us a number in the old tradition is here with around 140 BPM vorgelegt- without any Jumpstyle elements, not in the shuffle rhythm. Had it no longer maintained? Apparently not. I can only praise the whole package, especially the verses with Acidsounds and the great piano intermediate part. Just the 'second' chorus, the one has abgeguckt clear of 'One (Always Hardcore)', does not fit with his character Stadium for the song and sounds somewhat intentional.
'Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll' can again inspire the people who grade the Urban Dance Sound of current charts not lieben- me, the chorus makes me here skipping on.
In 'Copyright' If you manage to combine skillfully with well-tried elements currently announced. With a guest rapper HP Baxxter comes to rape in double time as usual, therefore, the chorus is so strong that it is determined by bright synths and a tekhouse bassline, vocals would be out of place here. Even one of my faves.
The next track, I am still in dilemma. With 'Bang Bang Club' allowed to the '80s sound with a few current sound Revue happen rarely uses a female voice. Somehow some sound samples to 'Slice me nice' Fancy.
'Summer Dream' is once again Jumpstyle concept and sounds from the Arrangement actually decent. Just the Lalalala chorus with Mickey Mouse's voice is so far nothing for my nerves. With 'Mashuhaia' bobs a typical Instrumentrancenummer without highlights to himself, to the nice remake of 'Friends' will conclude that I like better than the original as it comes along a bit faster and more fun. A fat Exra come too on CD 2 and also in Download on us: In 80 minutes we get to hear the Suck-My-Megamix, which includes all singles from the beginning until today, in which you have made audible trouble. So that they could replace wool Petry with his longest single, if you choose here for a decoupling.

Barely one third of the 15 songs sound like the band that I've known times (hehe). But those times have after such a long career, the right to courage (and need?) To enter new soundscapes. And I must say that most of them worked out, even if I sometimes can hardly believe that here the name Scooter draufsteht.
After all, fans have almost always get the last decade what they erwarteten- and probably sometimes too much of a good, why is yes now full stop. Rarely has me a plate so puzzled how those on the first pass, but each time I like the result better.
In my opinion is 'The big mash up' the far most diverse plate become. Some excursions into the charts would not Being but are probably also useful in order to please the youngest clientele. Normally I rate at a review each song individually, here it would be difficult for me because my ears hear unusual and I prefer to wait for the long-term effect.
Interesting way, is still that the megaphone effect, which was used as in all songs since 'We Bring The Noise' as well, is only rarely used. I can only speak for myself, that sounds much more pleasant to my ears.
Now is time to wait and see what bring the charts with it. After all, the band has to the publication date stingy with audio samples, a video is only available since today. Both possibilities success as ever as well as a belly landing. I'm hoping for the former.

Overall the album: 4.25 / 5 Points
