We had to wait a long time! The last independent studio album the first general uncertainty dated 2003. The waiting period was indeed bridged the fan with DVDs, best-of compilations and a fantastic live tour as good as possible, but was just the last few months before the release of this album my thirst for new EAV juice getting bigger. And now it is finally here and is my system: Amore XL with 20 (Normal Edition) or 22 (Deluxe Edition) brand new (and red-hot) numbers! My expectations were from the outset very large, but the boys have already submitted a killer album with "slut wife" (2003), the quick "one of the best albums of all time EAV" advanced in fan circles. But you can at such a great album build? Manages a plate on a such a high level again? The answer is clear: Yes! "Amore XL" is probably the most versatile musical and most mature album that the EAV has produced! Even a lot more mature than its predecessor was. By gently touching ballads-("heart stolen") on witty pop songs in classical EAV Hit-style ("Slice snip") bishin to rock numbers with hard hitting guitar riffs ("sarcophagus") are represented on this board many musical styles. Also lyrically can convince fully the disc. Especially nice is worth mentioning that Thomas Spitzer himself is repeatedly heard as a singer (he sings z. B. two choruses).
Conclusion: An album in which there is nothing to complain about in my eyes! It is a huge success, as it is and it is for each type of EAV fan which. But not only die-hard fans, but also general good friends of rock and pop music come up with this wonderful CD their money's worth! Has the EAV has always taken the balancing act between funny and critical songs, so now there is a third facet, the soulful side, work and home! For me, the album of the year! Belongs in every good record collection! 2008 it's off again on big tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland!
