Long we have gewarten fans to the new album, the first song it played the Sixer some time on their concerts and so the anticipation was huge. After the album at Amazon for pre-order was (in the first few days of not even 10!) I slammed immediately, unfortunately it took after the release for 2 days until Amazon has sent the CD to the journey.
Burned children really makes up where its predecessor left off. The lyrics and the notes come as usual from the pen of the (partly. Former) band members supported by some great songwriters and musicians. The texts are used to open and honest, everyone can find themselves in the songs right out of life again and they reflect the ups and downs of life resist perfectly. I think the new album as mentioned rockier and more powerful than the direct predecessor. The lyrics are accustomed catchy and you can sing along quickly. A little help, the great-designed booklet will contain all lyrics. The booklet itself is linked to the design of the previous album, in addition to lyrics, there are great pictures, the design is simple (s / w with red accents) and fits perfectly with Six.
But we come finally to the songs:
1. Age 3:44
Age is a fun, guitar driven and rocking opener. Core message of the song is to finally enjoy life times. For me an absolute out tip for anyone who wants to check it out.
2. My heart My blood My meat 3:51
There now follows a very contemplative, piano-heavy song that turns once again to the theme of love. Live it comes a little more rock therefore, but I think he's great on the album, because the text is simply out of life.
3. Burned Children 3:56
The title song Burned Children sets to work on very quiet, but then very bassy and rock. Lyrically it's about the life experience that makes us what we are. I do not know exactly why, but I think the song fits the sequel to Fallen Angels from the 3rd album.
4. A man a word 3:48
Everyone (?) Wants friends who keep their promise. They say what they think. The no liar and no blender. They are as they are and give everything. That's what this extraordinary song. The song is rocking, but I just find the text very impressive. When I heard the song, he reminded me immediately of warhorses. Not only because warhorse to a song of the same name have (actually it is quite different), but also because the text would actually fully fit warhorse. Perhaps covert warhorse song yes someday? Would certainly funny when the song title.
5. My Wild Heart 3:45
Heartbreak alarm. My Wild Heart is a very emotional song about the past and the ups and downs of life. Nobody is perfect, you should not regret in life and is one still at the top, you can be back tomorrow at the very bottom. All shapes us and leaves its mark. I think the song will be straight with the girls very popular, musical soundtrack piano and acoustic guitar the song, in between but also great powerful elements.
6. Song for a friend 4:03
A song that celebrates an extraordinary friendship: I lift the glass to you, on me, on us. Best Friends alarm. ;-)
The song is clearly guitar and drum-heavy and has a lot of power.
7.Härter 3:16
Hardener starts already extremely rocky and here it goes again to the friendship. What could be better than so common to hear a song in an unforgettable concert evening with the best friend / best friend live? Here at last you can now rock out so right!
Me personally reminded of the way song in some passages of the Toten Hosen. A very very great song and a prime candidate for a single release and for the mandatory application to the Federal Vision Song Contest. Listen carefully!
8. XXL 3:16
A highlight chasing the next. Musically, you might think the same plays Marylin Manson, but then the song is suddenly but typical Six. This exceptional PowerSong wants to convey that one, no matter how great something is already, you would still want something better. My ultimate favorite song on the album and my neighbors probably wondering already why I always I need it loud. I need it fast. I want it all yell in XXL.
9. Leb your dreams 4:07
The title already speaks volumes. The song has just unfortunately a problem: He follows two absolute power songs. Nevertheless: A great song of just when it all of a sudden not good is courage makes and inspires.
10. Just go home 3:49
I think on the Trucker Grand Prix was the song sure hit. Just right when you're just on my way home after a long time. For me, the logical continuation of the home anthem Geiler it is here from the 3rd album. A Song of good humor conveys although he lyrically still there splashes a little bit too shallow.
11. too little to live 3:55
Too little to live is a real PowerSong again. Very great text with the sure many listeners will identify. This song makes real courage not to give up in difficult times and to go his own way. Lyrically one of the absolute highlights and musically totally Six.
12 winners in the light 3:18
Rocknroll pur! The absolutely perfect ending to the album. Great bass, great guitar solos, grandiose lyrics to sing along:
It's time to come convincing us your face-
Hey, I know the world revolves for you.
Be prepared to lose, you can not.
You're breaking through the shadows as the winner,
victorious, winner of the light
So as a little bit of goose bumps I had the 1st listening already. That could easily be the soundtrack for a movie about a young, aspiring boxers. Quite a strong finish and also one of the highlights.
Conclusion.
Negative points? I search in vain, only the fact that you can not get a pre-order at Amazon Auto-RIP (MP3 version) here annoys me but that has nothing to do with the product itself.
All in all a total of very strong album with some very strong highlights. For me this album is at least at the same level with Fallen Angels and an absolute must for Six fans. All in all I'm very clear on 5 of 5 points and a strong buy recommendation for all fans and those who want it to become one. Believe me it is worth it.
