Maria Mena refined their sound through new influences.

Do not ask me why, but I was sure that "Weapon In Mind" would at best be a tight 4-album. Either it's the album cover that does not really like me, or the audio to "All The Love", which shocked me, or the justified by anything assumption that Maria Mena after two incredibly strong albums impossible for a third time in follow such a good deed may submit - The fact is that my expectations were low to the album than the last album.

Well, "All The Love" is due to the verhunzten choruses actually the weakest song on the album, but not weak, because it contains very good elements. Otherwise, "Weapon In Mind" is a great album, which can be more than excellent hearing!

I especially would like to emphasize this time that Maria Mena has managed to incorporate several new sound elements in the songs, but the album as a whole again radiates the unique magic that only Maria hinbekommt in this way. "I Always Liked That" for example combines the well-known Maria Sound with a tasteful Electro-carpet while "Caught Off Guard, Floored By Love" comes unusual rock for their circumstances. Apart from the successful experiences they bring their style of past albums for final perfection. So is "Lover Let Me In" a wonderfully gloomy spectacle, while "I'm Only Human" is a dream ballad with infinitely more feeling. So a song can only Maria even surpass, and it does with the bombastic finale: "The End" - what an incredibly good song!

I am ashamed that I doubted the greatness of Maria Mena: It is a music goddess who is evolving continuously and repeatedly with (with one exception) successful experiments surprised which Marias music with "Weapon In Mind" not bored, on the contrary, I want to hear a lot of albums of her!

Conclusion: An album that is well pleased, if not all fans agree even euphoric, and whose only drawbacks in my opinion, little good cover (it is poorly made, I regret to say, without wanting to appear too close) and the vocal alienation-nonsense in "All The Love" are.
