Beyond the actual title of this single "J'adore Hardcore" a lot has been written here already and unfortunately I have to add my voice to all those who have given only one or two stars here. Also I am since the beginnings of the band in 1994 while and bought just about every CD. Not only the albums, but also singles who mostly came along with an additional B-Side and reason alone were already worthwhile. However: Since "Jumping All Over the World" my enthusiasm for Scooter got an extremely violent shock absorber. Why the hell is Baxxter, Jordan and Simon have (or Simon has since been replaced and again?) Decided to take up the least creative and cheapest dance style in its sound that there are? Why just Jumpstyle? Well, hardcore Scooter opponents and haters be me vehemently disagree, however: So far had any, really anybody who Scooter album a very unique sound that made the CD unmistakable, because in addition to the typical Scooter anthems there were just on the albums numerous Trance numbers that proved that the band produced serious music. This seems however to have changed since the last album. "J'adore Hardcore" has once again become an unimaginative Jumpstyle number that is hard to beat in impudence hardly. That scooter is stealing regularly with other artists not really news and I think that's not so bad, as long as the result sounds good (eg "Nessaja"), but here the trio has even been covered an original song, which is less than two years old ("The Shit That Killed Elvis"). What still sounded really great in the former version, has now degenerated into an embarrassing fiasco. Up to this point I would give the single only one star ...
... But there is still the B-Side! When I heard "Dushbag", I thought, I'll no longer - I felt catapulted suddenly by ten years in the past. And I mean that in the best sense of positive! No kidding, this track I would have just as easily imagine in the first albums, as was Ferris Bueller Scooter! Here, the guys finally again that they still can make first-class music. "Dushbag" begins with a very chilled out, celestial sounds that invite you to dream, replaced after the first half in some trancigere fields and ends just as it began. This is done without any pounding beats. Very impressive. Nevertheless: A B-Side is just one of a B-side and to which it should not be at a single release. Therefore I can not give more than two stars of the CD.
Conclusion: Thanks "Dushbag" I'm on the verge of me actually to buy the single (the two titles I have so far only on youtube belongs) - for scooters should be shameful if a fan of the first hour, in 2009 only because of a bonus track for the purchase of a single decision. A few years ago I had a Scooter album also bought blindly in the certainty to keep a great CD in his hand. In the upcoming album I will certainly not do!
