Before this, the overall evaluation of this album goes completely in the wrong direction: Yes, if I would have rated the album after the first five songs - 2 Stars (also because the texts are good only). Normally you go home when their own team 0: 5 is back - but very rarely there is a miracle. Island is such a miracle, and I was wondering if there is a factional dispute in the band. Musically, the first five, island included poor. The beats to sound "modern" and not do it thus even more so. Everything sounds endeavor cumbersome and goes - single opinion - completely past me. That remains the way even after the umpteenth pass that way.
And then number 6 and I thought the first time listening. I wanted the first five also, damn it! And then begins the July magic that I can not describe, you have to experience. Much melancholy Edelherb, images, set to music feelings that I in any way usually also had before. And if not, likes to tell get. And then this great cross-references to 2004 - and the county to debut closes. And for a decade with the band, who never was a teen band for me.
Most beautiful interrogators: "... in our old beer until 2004 ...". On our old "we" made the song the way better ;-) (recognized by the 4th listening ...)
