what remains ...

Yes, one can only underline. The new Scooter album reads like a who's who of successful tunes of the past 45 years.
The tracks are not bad and would not 9 of 12 songs cover (for the three remaining was the intro should be counted), could actually speak of a great album. But this is now times not so.
The songs are produced to be outstanding and have catchy and melodious Synthspuren, after 11 years of successful and inovative Scooter history but appear to the creative self Ideas exhausted. What remains is a musically rehearsed and involviertes team that knows how to produce a hit, just not with their own melodies.
That was the last two albums already otherwise, of a temporary lull so you can hardly go out. Unlike his previous albums is "Who`s Got The Last Laugh Now" However melodious eingängier and makes the listener clearly more fun. The band begins musically more to their origins to return, which is more than dance trance, house and techno. A development that I as Old school scooter fan very welcome and who the Textheft durließt exactly, will find that the lyrics of two songs were written on the album of Ferris, co-founder of Scooter, in 1998 left the band and high for successful dance music was at Scooter.
Among the many covers and the high pitched voice that long since heard at Scooter to the standard program, the same structure of "Rock Bottom" compared to "Maria", one should perhaps even the new single "Hello" with the penultimate single "One ( Always Hardcore) "put in comparison. Then you will notice that a band that never wanted to copy itself, for a second time a song gets into the top 20, that of the melody to 90% identical.
Undoubtedly Scooter not only the most successful dance band in the world and of all time, but also the best. But who is really looking for a justification for their success, which should be the albums of the first four years look (1994 - 1998) and he will understand ...
Conclusion for "Who`s Got The Last Laugh Now":
Who likes merry dance sounds and play the musical background does not matter, a good choice.
For most, the thing is though clear anyway:
Scooter, either you love them and follow them in every direction, or you hate them.
LIMITED EDITION: Definitely on the Limited Edition watch. Because of the enclosed lovingly designed photo calendar would in a merchandising shop costs at least 15 €, the CD you get him a gift.
