The familiar voice of Anna R. had indeed enticed even in a revolutionary change in style to lay this assumption, but it is far more than just the voice. The album pervades the usual high dose metropolitan melancholy, paired with separation despite a lot of courage to bittersweet feelings and the latent track erotic coquetry is represented by "The Chance" equal to the second song.
So everything as usual but without Peter Plate? Not quite. Even if there is no stylistic revolution, an evolution, it is always, managed to boot! With track 8 AnNa R. manages the development, which was no longer possible with Rosenstolz obviously (for now?). Until the album "The Big Life" was also made in Rosenstolz from album to album and evolutionary changes that culminated in 2006 then this deal hugely successful album. Although the two follow-up albums "The Search Continues" (2008) and "We are alive" (2011) were the considered sympathetically in order not to, but remained exactly in the formulation of "the great life", no change more, stop. For a pop band a difficult position, because success albums can not simply repeat, in which one makes it all the same. Now enjoyed even the last two Rosenstolz productions as Album and tour still massive success, but "the great life Vol.4" the world would now not needed even with the best will, commercial success or not.
With "that remains always as" Anna R. along with a new creative team the necessary changes now succeeded, albeit at the price of the new company name track 8. The album is orchestrated throughout memorably melodic and original, what the production an entirely pleasant walk timbre gives. So sad or bitter, it is sometimes also in the texts, by the sound of the album, it is never really cold. The five alternative acoustic versions on the second disc of the deluxe edition put another exclamation mark behind this impression. Worthwhile, because it is entirely their own recordings, arranged quite differently to some extent. Formative difference is that it was called on the album, and there's something more crashes than on Rosenstolz plates. No hard rock, but a little clearer growling because when it seemed necessary.
Overall, a successful reboot, even if the very big difference fails. The likely most fans but probably even more likely to be all right.
