Red Bull gives wings!

Blitz Kids - a name which has never come across me in the music world, their third studio album until I got in a branch of a large electronics store chain in Leipzig to face that was somewhere behind Blink-182 discs and apparently only waiting for me would have. Unfortunately, I knew at that point is not that the plate had been waiting for me, I had taken note of the cover held for quite appealing and then placed in front of "Enema of the State" again.
Two days later came the rise Game RB Leipzig to Saarbrücken, in the stadium ran among other Green Day, the Broilers and Thees Uhlmann before me a song more and more displaced in euphoria - "Sometimes" of the Blitz Kids, like me by the the video wall rehearsed music video mitbekam (fortunately are the guys at Red Bull Records under contract). After the ascension celebration so went straight online and heard in the album - I immediately decided that I would buy this album.
Now, after repeated listening, it's time again to publish a review, because this album deserves more attention than it has received so far.

1.
The opener "All I Want Is Everything" begins hymnal and immediately gives a positive mood, many "Ohohoh 's and several voices bring the stadium atmosphere to the living room and animate to sing along. The guitars come with a wonderful sound and therefore Joe James' voice immediately knows to convince.
5/5

. 2
The second title, "Run For Cover" is a pop-punk song at its best, is breaking, meet strong guitars on legal research singing, which again is very melodic and again several voices in the chorus. The band does not call himself so as pop punk, but then bring one of the best pop-punk songs of recent years shows.
5/5

. 3
No time to rest, "On My Own" is a rocker, somewhat reminiscent of "Deaf Havana meets Young Guns". Joes singing in perfect harmony with the guitar and the drumming of Matt Freer is almost perfect.
5/5

. 4
Here is another highlight at the plate, "Sometimes" is an ingenious pop-punk number with feel-good factor, a hot chorus, one wants to sing along immediately and Joe James in top form. The guitar work is again worth a mention, because that is again really strong. A nearly four-minute ride with a great end!
5/5

. 5
"Keep Swinging" begins very pop with synth violins and something reminiscent of Coldplay and Stanfour sounds that are perhaps best compared with "Viva La Vida" or "When The Lights Go On", yet never pushing the suspicion of plagiarism on. Towards the center, the number is always rocking and you automatically sing the "Ohohoh 's again with. That's certainly costing, but that's as good calculates that it will stand out no.
4.5 / 5

. 6
With "Long Road" there is again a little quieter. Restrained singing to soft guitars and subtle drumming - so yes starts every rock ballad. But this is not your typical rock ballad, really sad wants the title that is never to be. No, he gives courage encouraged to go ahead and contains, damn ax again "Ohohoh 's who you have as automatically sing. Even otherwise, the title impresses in every aspect and also here it is the end almost euphoric. The song sounds the way places, a bit like Patrick Stump would be sometimes just lost on the island.
5/5

. 7
"Sold My Soul" begins with dirty Gitarrengeschrammel the best post-punk style. Even the singing adapts to the guitar, before it big again, you would want to say almost "epic" is. The dirty guitars of verses stand in stark contrast to the anthemic arena rock feel of the chorus, a stroke of genius of the British. You want smooth even clap to the beat - on the train, with headphones in your ears.
5/5

8th.
Now it is quite synth-heavy (allow 30 Seconds To Mars greet) before the start rocking Blitzkids again. The chorus in "Perfect" sounding but somehow after another song that will currently simply do not come to mind and therefore has a lower brand recognition. The great stadium atmosphere is naturally preserved, but a couple of synths less would not hurt here.
3.5 / 5

. 9
At some point he has to come from - the failure on this album. His name is "Pinnacle", which sounds as if Justin Timberlake wants to record an electro-rock song. The synths back here in the foreground and the number will be just boring. Even Joe's voice is here extremely unusual and the woman's voice, which eventually joins to, just annoying. Only when Joe sings a little higher and the bridge will be accompanied with a strong bass playing, shows the title, that this number from a really really good band comes.
1.5 / 5

10th
Refreshing with guitars begins the next track, "Title Fight", which with its really hot guitar parts and Sing Alongs almost like an apology to its predecessor, I've already forgotten fortunately acts. We are back in the main arena and sing, as before, "Ohohoh 's with and try the public not to loud singing to embarrass. The end with its heavy guitars is still a little icing on this big, delicious cake.
5/5

11th
With "Roll the Dice" follows the next really good rock song that is really strong to start getting used to. The whole band plays great and they present again pop-punk in its purest form. The lyrics are again really strong and you sing again automatically, but we do now anyway no matter, the old lady next to us has long since surrendered to their fate and the businessman opposite has long gotten annoyed and has changed the car. Great number!
5/5

12th
With the strong bouncer "The Sound of a Lost Generation" ends this great album. The beginning is again fairly quiet, then it is of course once again great. The singing a hymn, the "Ohohoh 's put us immediately into the big arena and you get back a feeling of elation supplied that makes everything else forgotten. A better end could not wish for this record.
5/5

Conclusion:
This album makes you want more of this, unfortunately, still quite unknown band from the UK that present here a strong piece of music, which despite being a slip allowed itself, which is but natural to forgive. Red Bull Records should do everything to keep this band could be your next very promising Signing by AWOLNATION. One should Blitzkids definitely in the eye and, more importantly, keep in your ears. The brand recognition is very high and you can hear the disc by more than once, without getting bored.
For fans of alternative rock and pop punk gepaar with some awesome inserted stadium pomp that is the right choice here. A real highlight of the album first half of this year! Red Bull seems to give wings - at least musically!
