Surprisingly, unlike the predecessor

Three years they had taken his time ... now is Taprootwerk no. 3 in the shops and first calls a big question mark in the mind of the listener inclined forth. Already on the previous album "Welcome" designed the band their sound diverse and more melodic, but on "Blue-Sky Research" remains from former NuMetal who was still celebrated on the debut "Gift" in brachial art form, almost nothing. Taproot have changed fundamentally. Apart from the magnificent "Facepeeler" and the ordinary Schlusstück really enough no other song on the new album hardness technically old Kracher such as "Smile".
As you sit there now first, disappointed that the seemingly effeminate band. But slowly - "Blue-Sky Research" is really interesting from the third, fourth pass. The melodies catchy, develop the riffs, though less boisterous and rough as the predecessor, still a good pressure and one notes that the new album despite changing style matured, is varied and diverse. If "I will not fall for you" yet known with somber sphere hence, you will be immersed with "Birthday" and the potential hit "Calling" in hymnal water that are unusual at first, but very worth listening to. With "Lost in the Woods" there is also a Fre Balade and "April Suits" grooves in the center part in a fascinating way.
Unfortunately, it does not create Taproot, over the entire length entrain so and so form the especially lyrically kitschy "Promise" and the musical extremely weak "Nightmare", the low points.
Conclusion: It takes time until you can do with the relatively new face of the band slightly. Wehr is just Kracher riffs and choruses from Kreischberg, which I rate the here have. All others who want to hear a surprising as with radio conversion of a former NuMetal band and round, melodic alternative rock like, which is "Blue-Sky Research" recommended, apart from minor weaknesses.
