A comparison with the debut album can not handle it. Here, the successor must be defeated but because the colorful, rich and freaky atmosphere that was present in the First in heaps, is here only quite rare to find. It is a very different album than "LePop". But just because it can not quite keep up with the first, it does not mean that this is a bad plate. Since the first was outstanding, is behind just a whole lot of space.
Here are my reviews:
01) A Kiss Before You Go 3/5
An introduction, not a highlight for Katzenjammer ratios, but with beautiful sweeping transition to Track 2
02) I want to dance 5/5
The first single, some mainstream, still a joyous, danceable feel-good number
03) Cherry Pie 5/5
Here one hears again a hint debut album, crazy, something "squeaky" cheesy, I like good
04) Land of Confusion 4/5
A Genesis cover, slower than the original, musical and instrumental TOP, but not a big hit
05) Lady Marlene 7/5
Undeniably best song, a gorgeous spherical ballad with beautiful piano interludes. Quite large music
06) Rock Paper Scissors 5/5
From the sound of her first album sat on hätts also fits, Irish Pop, just a "feel-good track" to call a bet
07) Cocktail and Ruby Slippers 5/5
So a little bit of the "Beach Boys", sounds like summer, easy, relaxed music.
08) Soviet Trumpets 3/5
A contrast to his predecessor, Tracks, here a rather dark atmosphere is created again, a matter of taste, really want to enjoy with me here but still not turn aside
09) Loathsome M 4.5 / 5
Here almost gehts already rocking to contrast to Track 8, energetic, but not quite 5 star
10) Shepherds Song 5/5
Entrain again a brisk track, which sees quite
11) Gypsy Flee 5/5
A track where almost more bawled as is sung, but everything fits together, again a brisk Ding
12) Gods Great Dust Storm 3/5
An interesting piece, which then comes to some vigorous drumbeats fairly without instruments, but a group of singing, which is already offered nearly in the classical style of opera, it varies between high and lower tone of voice, what the talent of 4 perfectly underlines, above all, into my high sequences a bit too hard, too exaggerated, acts. Due to the uniqueness but not a bad piece of music.
When tallying we would now come around to 4 stars, but since it was only 2 (plus input pieces) numbers are here, the slip me into mediocrity and the rest yet again is good music that has a touch individuality still, I would like to now finally have liked to give 5 stars here.
I hope I could explain a little bit, that "A Kiss Before You Go" despite existing differences to "LePop", is still a very gelungendes album.
It's different, not quite as good, but still good enough to give the overall package to 5 star.
Successor of Grandiosums as it was "LePop", it has just always very difficult ...
Give him a chance.
PS: A brief presentation: A beautiful cover with 2 gelungenden pictures in the booklet, but lack the TEXTS, not pretty, but you can not change - SORRY !!!
