The unusual for fans intro merges seamlessly into the "servant 5er Men" on, crescendo sound the clarinets to a whistled melody, which in the book of earwigs probably should get a place of honor. Thus, it quickly becomes clear that shines the title of high catchiness, also an ideal live song. Highlight of course again the unmistakable poetry for Coppelius (for connoisseurs, for example .: "A cylinder is missing!"). "The Glove" begins like this as a Slayer concert ends. Incredibly loud and inscrutable. Shortly afterwards, one of the fastest (Refrain except) songs the band ever, which was, incidentally, written by grocer Kunigunde van Heller. The impression of the auditions was confirmed, one of my favorites. "I told you so" reminded me of the beginning of the early works of the band, he would stylistically wonderfully fitted to one of the EP's "1803" or "To My Creator", even if it grew on the first song with the (re) harpsichord. I am warm become only after repeated listening to the song, but he acts between the "glove" and "risk" but something misplaced. So we come to "risk": This song has absolute cult status. The song begins initially similar to the "Operation" for example. "Composition" to expose shortly thereafter with a catchy melody and lighter Clarinet the listener a new catchy. The chorus SHINY with an absolute singalong hit. Generally very thoughtful song with many little things that have yet to discover. In the form of a renewed coppelianisch amusing short story of the great magician "Gumbagubanga" steps up to the Auditorium. Although the values Max Coppella this certainly not like to hear is the clarinet melody is again very catchy and real hit, also this song has absolute cult status. But in order not to anger the Lord Copella all too much: one of my favorites. As the female audience will respond to the following piece, remains to be seen. Musically somewhat more complex, in transition during the middle part, the harpsichord is again heard; coppelianische the canon is also very well done. "The Fireman" has for me as a son of a same kind of course a special charm. Although I consider the coherent text here one of the best of the entire album, it's a pity that the canon just as promised here much destroys, unfortunately the chorus says not to me. Mentioned above "Nightwatch" reaffirmed my premonition, after repeated listening one of the highlights. Lyrically there is of course another extremely gelungende short story, although I must confess that this may be a little transparent for a long supporter. I knew even before redeeming text line who the murderer is. The now already repeatedly mentioned and discussed harpsichord fell gets in "Continuous Fromm" his solo, a very unplugged sounding piece, which could well provide Lighter atmosphaere at concerts. I personally too monotonous something still very calando what's a good thing, because in "Little Zaches", called cinnabar, the title song of the album, we are experiencing the beginning of a frequently occurring tantrums of the Servant Bastille. A very typical song for the band. Literary background, lively and complex. Damn well done. "An automaton" frightened in the beginning. Lyrically and musically, unfortunately, too monotonous, one of the few songs that I skip most, even if my small solo 1:57 to 2:12 like it very much. By "forget" to Coppelius profess a tradition in the form of a capella piece, sung by the entire chapel. Of all the so far published by far the best, absolutely touching and sad poem. Accustomed short, yet beautiful. Traditions are continued with "Genghis Khan", written among the many of Coppelius and (help Coppelius!) By Iron Maiden on their fame stolen pieces, the second instrumental for "Phantom Of The Opera". Succeeded, but not outstanding. About the title track for just mentioned exclamation was already hotly debated. Many wanted a band own Hymne à la Subay To Sally's "Julia and the robbers." Of course, the refrain for intonation before the concerts is really not suitable, but because the audience has even now many other pieces to choose from (5er servant gentlemen, risk Gumbagubanga). An absolutely great and fast song (not to vergessem the easy to hearing harpsichord) the listener actually more than satisfied with fetzenden should solos and fast beat. One of the live song. In the Part 1:20 to 2:00 I have now driven by Bastille left swinging their arms to the right before eyes as the audience. The song builds up from there slowly until it epic ends in an explosion. "Ade My Dear" by this explosion is a perfect end. A beautiful ballad, finally comes again briefly the drums added so Nobusama also not neglected. In traditional text charming arranged, tears in his eyes, done perfectly.
Although the band texts not loud Eiger statement gives the much importance, Cinnabar is almost absolutely perfect album both in this respect as well as musically. Mostly varied, moving (ambiguous), catchy and complex. Among the many excellent compositions lined up particularly "servant 5er Men", "The Glove", "risk", "Gumbagubanga", "Night Watch", "Little Zaches" and "Farewell My Love," in the many milestones of the band a, and will long remain in the repertoire Coppelius' also live.
5 Stars.
Da Capo!
