All I want - The song was already previously heard already and offered at the same time the very first music video of the band at all. A strong and catchy Live certainly a great song for singing along. However, I would have liked a stronger opener ala The Beginning of the End + The day went down the world. 4/5
My glasses - from the title her I've initially hoped for more: a kind of homage to the old days (or more likely on the last album) or something like that. The song tries to sound serious and raises only one or two funny lines of text in between. I'm not sure as far as the song, but he is getting better each time. One side of me is thinking: Maybe the song is indeed profound than meets the eye, another side thinks Maybe I should buy me a pair of glasses, then I see also like a student ... oh wait. 4/5
Pyroman & Astronaut - The first song which you could hear from the new album (apart from Mayday Mayday). He hangs around somewhere in the mid-paced and focuses on Rammstein even heavy riffs, a few synth gimmicks and a catchy chorus. Unfortunately tells me about so much, and I can not even really say why. 3/5
Without Heart - Where are you? Where are you? ... Oh what? Wrong Song. It stops definitively on to sound like the "old WBTBWB". Project Heart EP Greetings (one would in the title hardly even can imagine * cough). Personally, I like the song because it is very melodic and really invites to end the dream. You notice here especially that they do not try to force yourself into a certain drawer, but simply make a kind melodic love song on WBTBWB kind and honest: This would also be able to sound much worse. 4/5
SHIT - Unfortunately, no catchy tune. The constant repetition of the word joke seems paltry. I like that the song is not so overloaded by synths and more emphasis on the guitar riffs. Adds variety, because the song is right in the middle Lyrically, however unfortunately only average. 3/5
Viva Mariposa - Rightly the longest song on the album. Another Kind Of Love Song on WBTBWB kind without a happy ending. Instrumental and vocal completely varied. Melodic between absolutely brutal and dreamy melodic. Lyrically the best serious song in the album, I had the band not have expected. One of my personal highlight of the album 5/5
Case - In a way, the song builds a similarly dense and dark atmosphere like Rammstein song on Spring. (Yes, I apologize for all Rammstein comparisons) The singing in the chorus is really good and there also omitted to Autotune. Only the chant in the verses is distorted electronically, but it fits very well with the mood of the song. Is definitely a plus point) 4/5
Mayday Mayday - Why has managed just that song from the last EP on the CD is a mystery to me. Well, he is in my opinion better than US, but still a step below 1000 volts or soldier. The song was fortunately at least again production technology and improved vocally tidy therefore deserved 4/5
Spotless - I think the song I can really live my already very well imagine. 'd Also like to have someone in the face scream I am sorry: You are immaculate, you're beautiful. :) Nice Solo btw. 4.5 / 5
The movement - this song gabs already a while before the release. Without big to pay attention to the text he hits definitely pure really good :) The text before the eyes it acts even a cut above. A beautiful song with many tempo changes 4.5 / 5 (ps: The instrumental version of the deluxe edition has another end, which is also really worth listening to)
War of gold - Haha xD Here are the ghosts. The quiet beginning, does not let much and then sets the element of surprise, a monotonous chant a la Deicide, which initially not clearly suggests that the text now is highly intelligent or absolutely meaningless and quite honestly, it is a bit of both, but more of the latter, What has impressed me quite. The song is great! An incredible mixture which perhaps a little more reminiscent of The Little Vampire, but you can hardly even compare the two songs, as it comes in a very different direction and is completely self-contained. Therefore: Check it! 5/5
Psycho - Best of the song like me probably the Psycho pool :) Initially not very sound of song, only a bit more brutal Overall I like it despite its catchiness and the testifying parties nothing but crazy, sounding almost by Disturbed (or because of?) 2nd verse pretty good 4/5
Child in the fountain - A worthy final. Sounds like a fairy tale. Perhaps a reminder of the first album? A super synth melody to sing / hum permeates the song. Instrumental: super. Vocally: something short fall, but as the last song quite manageable. 4.5 / 5
What is ultimately to say about the album? Anyone who buys the album to rollingly are laughing on the floor, will be disappointed. Nevertheless, you should not be afraid to listen to it completely, because surprises are definitely included. In addition, it acts as a collective work quite varied and you really need rarely or in principle no single song while listening to Skip. Despite some similarities to Rammstein, Bring me the Horizon or locally to other bands, the album sounds very self-contained and not as a copy. In The Day went down the world, there were only 5 songs that could really excite me and which I now as then still celebrate. The rest was mediocre. "Gold Children" maybe not the absolute highlight, but the CD is at a high level and therefore the CD as a whole should not be so boring. Therefore my recommendation: buy, place and let a couple of times to run complete album.
The decision whether I forgive now 4 or 5 stars is hard. My heart tells 5, my head is still looking for more hidden jokes and says 4. WBTBWB is always evolving and I am sure that the next album will sound different again. And I'm curious.
4.5 / 5 and as one may sometimes round up nicely :)
The two remix versions of my glasses and all I I'd say not much welcome. Either you can make anything or not. I do not find bad. The instrumental versions of all songs 4 are also nice :) The pre-order price of 15 for the Deluxe Edition was really unbeatable (for 13 songs + 6 bonus songs), but even for the current price of 18 I would still reach for the Deluxe Edition as they will bear more visually and again extended the season considerably. Another new song would also have been nice :)
