... So we read in many reviews and will soon read more. Also the "all just stolen" -Vorwurf makes legitimately the round. The scraps of text and Soundstückel fly a just so around the ears, it sounds like everything between Erasure and Coldplay. Hurts latter are in the great single "Miracle" at the next like a mixture of "Paradise" and "Princess of China" (both from the last Coldplay album) daherkomt. The high vocals in the chorus of "Blind" is reminiscent of the reunited Take That ("Patience" about). "The Road" makes use of for Depeche Mode and "Cupid" imitates quite unveiled the great "I feel you". In "The Crow" one thinks of Chris Isaac's "Wicked Game" - the many text quotes I do not want to go, listen for yourself ...
Why still can give full marks this work? Because I like all these songs because Hurts became musically more complex compared to the debut, because Theo Hutch Crafts sensational singing each piece gives the necessary independence, because I can remember hardly a CD in recent years, the me right at the beginning so happy has made and has consistently high quality and huge entertainment value. Because ... weil..weil ...
Especially because not should determine always some "level of police", what, indie or taste is cool - and also because it Hurts must impute quite possible that a wink is. Fully take seriously this record probably only unentspannte Krititker :-)
