Free Music Notes for Humanoid
Free Music Review: Tokio Hotel is BACK!
Hit: 5 Stars
FINALLY. If you are a devoted fan like me, you've been waiting and waiting for this album to be released. Tokio Hotel's second English album HUMANOID, has hit the world.
I'm not very good at writing reviews so sorry if this sounds a bit jumbled. This 4 member group from Germany made big success and attention when they released Scream, which was a mix of translated songs from their past albums. This time, the band made a German(their mother tongue) album and then made an English version and released them at the same time. The lead singer Bill Kaulitz has said and quote, "I'm sure no artist has to remember as many lyrics as I do."
This album overall, is very different from any of their past ones. Tokio Hotel has matured in their sound and has experimented with new tools like synthesizers that you can hear throughout the CD. The tracks keep the same level of emotion in lyrics, but the sound is more versatile and danceable. I found it new but very enjoyable. I suppose now I'll try a track listing.
Track 1: Noise- The first song does it's purpose as a warm-up to the album. I love the instrumental build at the start. It does get a bit repetitive but it's catchy. 3/5
Track 2: Darkside of the Sun-I had to get a good feel of this one, but by a couple listens, now I really like it. The soft and almost eerie violins at the start and end are a nice touch. The futuristic feel of the song and lyrics give you sort of a rush. 5/5
Track 3: Automatic-The first single. Since I heard it before any of the rest of the album, I feel that the mood of it is much lighter than the rest of the album, but that's refreshing and it's very, VERY catchy. 5/5
Track 4: World Behind My Wall-The first slow song you'll encounter. It's about wanting to see and get the most out of life, even though you are afraid to. That's what I think anyway. It has a great message, but for some reason it's not one of my favorites yet. 4/5
Track 5: Humanoid-But this song is. Humanoid has to be my favorite track on the album. With so many elements mixed in such as darkness, rebelliousness, and desperation. But that's just the lyrics. What I really appreciate on this song is the heavy influence of drums and guitars. It's very intense and fast paced, but still gives you that familiar "Tokio Hotel" feel. 6/5
Track 6: Forever Now- I really like the way it starts, with Bill singing "Oh-oh-oh-ohhh" in a mysterious way, and the strong drum beat. It's good, but not really a standout track. 4/5
Track 7:Pain of love- I have no idea why but I really like this one. You get a unique range of Bill's vocals with a pounded "oh" in the background while he's singing the lyrics in a low register. It sounds dark and direct. The chorus is also catchy. 5/5
Track 8: Dogs Unleashed-When I first heard this one I was like..."What the heck?" The lyrics and even faint panting in the beginning sound heavily metaphorical about being a dog. After a few more listens I really enjoy it now. There's a strong techno-influence and it makes it very addicting. 5/5
Track 9: Human connect to Human- I.LOVE.THIS.ONE. It's just very very catchy and danceable with the guitars and drums. The lyrics are suggestive, but not in an obviously raunchy way. It WILL get stuck in your head. 6/5
Track 10: Hey You-In the first 5 seconds you'll be able to recognize the beat they used. Luckily, the lyrics make up for it with a very tough and heavy sound. I find it a good headbanging song. 5/5
Track 11: Love and Death-If you need proof that Bill has vocal range, you've got it here. I won't spoil it but I was VERY happily surprised when I heard this one. It gets repetitive and the lyrics are a little bit cliche but it's still repeat-worthy. 5/5
Track 12: Zoom Into Me-This one is so sweet. It makes me think of a more melancholic and slower "By your side"-ish song. It's a great end.(To the first disc.) 5/5
*BONUS TRACKS
Track 13: Phantomrider- I think there's a lot to be taken in with this song. It's lonely and melancholic and hopeful. It starts out slow instrumentally and vocally then builds. I believe the message is up to the listener, and to some it's a very powerful song. 5/5
Track 14: That Day-This one is VERY dark. That's about all I can say. Bill experiments with whispering in this one and instrumentally it's mostly the guitars and drums. That I like. 4/5
Track 15: Alien-This song has good mixture beetween techno-ish sound and their more classic "rock" sound. I like it more with every listen. 5/5
Track 16: Screamin-This one was such a good surprise. I just really enjoy it. Especially the fast rush of "I'm screaming at the top of the world!" before each chorus. Probably my favorite of the bonus tracks. 6/5
There you go. If I had to put everything together about what I think about Humanoid, I'll say that Tokio Hotel has changed, but it's a good change. I'm still a very happy fan. :)

TOKIO HOTEL - HUMANOID [DELUXE EDITION] - INCLUDED 4 BONUS TRACKIt's been a long year for the army of Tokio Hotel followers. But come October, the visually captivating German-born international rock idols plan to pay back their fans' dedication--with interest. Humanoid is the highly anticipated follow-up to the platinum-selling, MTV VMA-winning group's 2008 US debut, Scream.
"We took our time with this album until we had the perfect feeling about the songs and the entire production," singer Bill Kaulitz said. "We're totally in love with Humanoid and hope it will make up for the fans' long wait!"
The first single, "Automatic," clocks in at just over three minutes but feels like an epic, thanks to the growling, layered guitar work of Tom Kaulitz, 19, and his twin brother Bill's anthemic, heartfelt yowl. In the opening verse, he sings, "You're automatic and your heart's like an engine/I die with every beat." The contagious words and melodies are only highlighted by the honed, mechanical precision of 22-year-old bassist Georg Listing and 20-year old drummer Gustav Schafer. It's one of their best ever slices of driving desperation destined to become fans' favorite scream-along.
The biggest act to come out of Germany in 20 years, Tokio Hotel has gone 10x platinum, scored four #1 singles, sold out arenas and stadiums across Europe and played to 500,000 people at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in 2008. Along the way, they picked up MTV's Best New Artist VMA and a nomination for Best Pop Video for "Ready, Set, Go!" among other accolades.
Already an established international sensation, the musicians hunkered down for months with longtime producer David Jost with the goal of releasing 13 science fiction-inspired, timeless tracks to the entire world all at once. The new record secures a place for Tokio Hotel as one of rock's most enduring groups.
