Class Retro-Pop!

In times of 80s chased in the pop world a catchy tune after another. There were many hits which immediately ate their way into the ear and there did not want to back out. While the rock world then evolved in the '90s and 2000s, the quality of pop music went steadily down. Low points were reached as songs like 'Schnappi' and Handyklingeltoene as 'Jamba' ruled the music channel. Nevertheless, there were occasional good pop rock a la Roxette, Texas, Shania Twain, Robbie Williams (which I actually just the song 'Angels' acknowledge) or Coldplay. Retro was then however become renowned over the years, sodas also bands like 'The Killers' could be known. Besides, it does not sound like 'boeser music', as their name probably suspect.

The title 'Mr. Brightside 'the last album is expected to some movie fans to be known as Remix uncredited of Keinohrhasen. This album takes the path of retro pop continued consistently. Corridors meet tunes on stuetzende rhythm work. Cute Grooves tempt sometimes even dance. Nice that also appears that in the 80s has proven reliable saxophone as melody instrument. A title like 'Joy Ride' would also have decades old can come. And in some places the plate makes you actually reminiscent of Hall & Oates or New Order. Also a number of other bands shimmer around in my head, about the 80 Fleetwood Mac and other artists whose names I just do not want to come. 'This Is Your Life' a great example of this. I want to sing because actually. 'Scatterlings Of Africa' Johny Clegg & Savuka strikes me as among numerous other 80s hits to mind.

The keyboard sounds have partially can stamen by Barclay James Harvest. This is particularly evident in the track 'I Can not Stay', the forth of the instrumental side
eh inspired by the soft sounds rockers. Vocally the listener for more reminiscent of Bono of U2. And this not only to the song. The quasi-background vocals in 'The World We Live In' are believed to have originated electronically. All this reminds me again of any 80s band. A great treat for the ears!

'Goodnight, Travel Well' is the melancholic, almost depressive ending a great retro plate. Finally, it will become really anthemic and uplifting. Because yes sound through even almost Sigur Ros and late TalkTalk. Is this song about harbinger of style upheaval on the following albums?

Score: 11/15
Out tip (s): Losing Touch, Human, Joy Ride, I Can not Stay
Comparable with: a mixture of Hall & Oates and Coldplay, which meets Barclay James Harvest and U2
