... And how! Apocalyptica present themselves with their new album selbstbetiteltem complex and better than ever. 01. 'Life Burns!': At the very beginning brettert album with drums and cellos going. Vocally assisted here Lauri Ylönen of The Rasmus. The chorus he screams while the cellos crosscutting. Successful Album opener. (4.5 / 5) 02. 'Quutamo': Mikko is preparing with his drums the basis of the song and a cello solo lead with slightly sad touch through the song majestically transformed towards the end. (4.5 / 5) 03. 'Distraction': The drums invite you to mosh while the cello hertreibt the song until the finale in front of him. Brilliant. (5/5) 04. 'Bittersweet': The first single from the album, known from radio and television and title track of the game "The Settlers". Rousing tearjerker, sung in duet by Lauri Ylönen (The Rasmus) and Ville Valo (HIM). Gets under your skin. (5/5) 05. 'misconstruction': The Celli, rise above the moderate drum foundation and surround yourself with the melodies. Finally, a mixture of drums and cello and already heard the beautiful atmosphere arches from the cellos. (4/5) 06. 'Fisheye': Mikko overturns almost with his drum rolls, the song makes thereby but quite impulsive. Ingenious Trah-metal parts forming the intermediate parts. Add to that a couple of interesting cello gimmicks and the song in full power gebrettert until the end. (5/5) 07. 'Farewell': Only start a cello, the other voices with a. Devout Drums and cellos convey an appropriate mood in the sense of farewell. Super staged and very poignant. (5/5) 08. 'Fatal Error': A "Fatal Error" is the song not at all. Permanent change of pace, sawing cellos, then in the meantime a merciless Moshpart. This is no better hinzubekommen with bass and guitars. (4/5) 09 'Betrayal / Forgiveness': Here are Dave Lombardo of Slayer and bludgeons his stint in altberwährter Metohde the drums until the drumsticks fly. The cellos buzzing like a swarm of hornets. With death metal bonds, the hardest part of the album and for me the best. (5/5) 10. 'Ruska': The piece is a dark whirlpool of emotions, which can set up a front Ergriffenkeit hackles. Absolute goosebumps-Track and from the quiet songs on the album clearly the best. (5/5) 11 'Death Zone': It's even a bit depressed and erdückender! The cellos describe quite authentic the end of life. Fascinating and frightening at the same time, only also pretty boring as the song is traveling fairly slowly. (3/5) 12, 13, 14 'En Vie, How Far, How Far': That's 'Quutamo' with singing, even in French (sung by the French. Singer Emmanuelle Monet) and in English and German (sung by The Happy frontwoman Marta Jandová). However, the vocal-instrumental versions to the original not hold a candle, but still know how to please. (4/5) Finally remains only to emphasize again that Apocalyptica have outdone themselves with their new album, after some faltering 'Reflections' !!! Absolute masterpiece!
