According excited I was on the way a highly praised "anniversary CD". A few weeks ago then you could download with "dance for your life" is not only an absolutely decent 100% Ewigheim song in advance, you also got an insight into the playlist of "24/7". 5 new songs, a new version and 4 remixes, among others, "Laibach" and "SUN OF THE SLEEPLESS" found their place there. The whole is a "new record" or even an "anniversary CD"? Well because of maximum creativity the last 2 years I realized that skepticism only once at the back. Now the result is available and I go to the hearing to a short in detail:
Dance for your life: The opener. A song like we know him and appreciate. Simple but hard song structures with catchy choruses and some danceable. Just as it should be. 4/5
Not More: Sets the path continued consistently. The number after the rocks typical of EWIGHEIM scheme. Only really does all for me, especially in the verse is not in drive. 3/5
24/7: The isses yet. The title track can first really listen up. Tons of bombast, heavy guitars, catchy melodies. Consistently and straight white "24/7" full take for themselves. 5/5
We, the devil and I: Like right from the start. Epic, dark, hard and similar bombastic as its predecessor is "We, the devil and I" exactly what I mean by EWIGHEIM 2014. Top. 5/5
Gloria: Also "Gloria" absolutely convinced. Very melodic, powerful, horny text. Thus it can be seen as the sum of the last two releases this song well. And who spoke happens to absolutely for itself. Great song. 5/5
Snowman 2.1: The new edition. The song should probably every visitor EWIGHEIM's be well known already from the "thin man" EP. This was sound technically overhauled and brought in a powerful, clear new scoring on the plate. This step was more than beneficial for the snowman and the catchy tunes of EWIGHEIM. Although known: 5/5
LJUBLJANA - home: The first remix. And my absolute highlight of the plate. The new interpretation to "home" have LAIBACH a traditional design, mixed with singer / songwriter elements brought to its way and created a real remake. But you can hear yourself. EWIGHEIM visiting LAIBACH. Madness. 5/5
SUN OF THE SLEEPLESS - DANCE OF THE MOTH: That was certainly arranged quickly. As some may know behind SOTS trades Markus Stock who also EWIGHEIM's home since 2012. And he brings with his remake cold ambient sounds with raw black metal guitars on the plan, the "Dance of the MOTH" staged this Dark-secret project entirely bleak and the purposes. Some vocal lines has even taken over floor. Great remake. 4/5
Soko Friedhof - eyes: Japp, eyes and down to the cemetery with a so horny in the original song. Damn what's going on? Hardly structure vocals vary (too loud / too quiet). This I call it cautious attempt this song its quality was completely relieved. Beginners Discover the Music Maker. Too bad about the beautiful song. On the other hand, questionable as EWIGHEIM can find this Verwurstung well. But well, each being. 0/5
NEW WORLD ORDER - MORGENROT: Here we have basically the same as its predecessor. All in all, half-baked, no bums, no potential. Club sounds from the Midi-modular obstruct a great EWIGHEIM song. Again, just a shame. 0/5
Conclusion:
Pro: The 5 new songs + edition are all in expectation spectrum EWIGHEIM's and go for some even beyond. So there are definitely a few beads on "24/7" to find. Moreover LAIBACH & SUN OF THE SLEEPLESS could the sound of the trio put their very own stamp.
Cons: Soko Friedhof and NEW WORLD ORDER have probably fully panned and thus really taken the board plenty of room for quality. Electric Remixes yes, but then should be the least well done. Because here is sadly wrong. 2 new songs instead of such a slating, that would have been a plan. So it's just a shame.
EWIGHEIM with "24/7": A as "anniversary CD" advertised disc, which seems to me more like an extended EP with unnecessary extras. Because you could have done more of it, if you already have to advertise as a "new record" all. There is extremely strong, but unfortunately also extremely weak moments can unfortunately only well-intentioned in their total 3 stars left. Perhaps EWIGHEIM should think about this, the "24/7 DISMANTLE" decrease sign and replace it by "creative holidays". That might do quite well. Outside of EWIGHEIM finally lack Yantit and Co. not to work.
Who wants a really new album that reflects EWIGHEIM to 100%, which was still waiting. Collectors of rarem material, unreleased material and other delicacies can be accessed safely.
