First of all, several passages brauchts definitely, so that the new material also opens only halfway. But while I even years repeatedly discover new subtleties in older disks which fascinated me, encountered in dowry case quickly reached its limits. Instead, you will be sent thundering eleven songs long with deep staccato guitar riffs and an unchanging song structure. So Stylistic go again in the Engelskrieger direction. Who are this album to his favorites comes here determines at its own expense. Rather narrative verses, and then take in a more or less anthemic chorus. Accompanied by a constant Geigerei that not as usual is here emphasize specific areas, but acts arbitrarily and interchangeably and almost annoying goes in the oriental direction. Real highlights there is in my opinion, only two, namely cruel sister and your captain who simply still have an approach of virtuosity and live on their spine-tingling choruses. Otherwise, unfortunately too much monotony and repetition. This will go here rather in the metal direction and not was clear from the outset in the gothic or medieval rail, but a little gimmicks with the skill of the band, I would have but then desired. Finally, continue every single band member an absolute genius on his instrument, is one of the best in his field I've ever seen. But here mans hear not get out. The whole thing is then not necessarily bad and certainly head and shoulders above many competing product, but Subway is necessary to stop measuring at Subway. And there it is for me in the history only midfield.
A word about the much-discussed new Dubstep / electric elements. After this I had to look formal when they appear then only subliminally or placed in some breaks. So I could really live and for me that is not a criticism. I find it interesting, however, mentioned in passing Equinoxx, the current project of Simon. Their CD is supposed to consist of Subway-songs that have it for some reason of still not managed to Mitgrift, and include in my opinion much better because the more varied material. Since no song sounds like another and each gets under your skin. Of course, stylistically interpreted differently a little, without any historical influences. I do not know the extent to which there-heard songs differ from the original versions, but one makes eyes, Eric's voice thinks to be a bit more and a little less electric violin, and you've got at Subway is best.
