Like all fans, I've been waiting for this album long awaited. My first irritation respect. Of being too sexual videos to LWLYB and GGAG has settled very quickly after I heard this but unfamiliar electronic- songs. It was of course much kritisiert- also from its own ranks: That would no longer Tokio Hotel, the old albums were so much better and so I see something different because after 5 years break an album with the same sound of the predecessor would be really been boring. (And what the critics would have said to that ?!) But kings of suburbia explains the long silence: it's new, it's different, it's fresh, albeit less rocky, but it is still 100% Tokio Hotel. The lyrics are accustomed to deep (so do not go the song line "Louder Than Love" from the mind: "I can hear your damaged heart Screaming Through Your Eyes") and otherwise the album contains a great mix of ballads and danceable songs!
Finally I can say that it is definitely worth only this album to Buy- for fans anyway, but also for small or large skeptics. Sometimes you should perhaps leave the prejudices outside before that one has of the crazy-looking teen band Tokio Hotel and just let the music sink in. The boys have grown up, their self-written (!) Music also and it shows!
