Probably zwiespältigste album

Write a review on this album is certainly not the easiest. But I would like once confront all hymns, as well as all the reviews and see the big picture a little more differentiated. After yes PC with Both Sides (BS) and Dance Into The Light (DITL) is not just a commercial breakthrough, it is determined that with this album more likely to succeed. Why? Because it is a very harmonious, but this does not mean that it is a commercial album. The PC has determined no longer necessary. The question is whether this album is typical of him. No, it is not entirely determined. And even says the master himself. What many are missing here is (rightly) the drums, his energy that he put into his music. On the other hand a lot of people just appreciate his new musical style. I would smooth argue that his fan base a bit converts. If you look at it, I count myself personally to both. For I have always respected that new PC and tried even now not afraid to take off his own best skills from the 80s. Sure, I find this lack very sad, I have worshiped this jazzy-groovy and also quite unkonventielle music. On the other hand, I think the new album also not boring. Examples: "Wake Up Call", "Come With Me", "Thru My Eyes", "Testify" ... even without "Can not Stop Lovin 'You", I realize times vorlasse now because of Coverns outside, it in my view, a very worth listening album. But to the album not to be disappointed, you should already know if you want to endorse this new style personal and can. In any case I can for my part and recommend it to anyone who calm, balanced music mag. Why then I forgive only 4 stars? Granted, it does not have the mega-cracker, and some pieces are worn for my taste, although you still can listen well ("This Love This Heart", "You Touch My Heart"). But that had not BS and DITL. And then there is missing na course the already above-mentioned drums; the drum machine to könte certainly use even better. However, to sum it up again: This album is not flat, it is just different. And it does not just makes PC, to change again and again, once in a while exploring new avenues? Now he is just at the stage where he wears his new family happiness musically outwards. Whether he has now zeroed in on this style, only time will tell. But I would not miss the painting devil on the wall. I for one can not imagine that the criticism of his inimitable percussion deposits not remains unheard even with him. PC is and remains a brilliant, unique artist, and he will surprise you again in the future. Whether positive or negative, everyone must decide for themselves.
