Tokio Hotel - "Scream"


Rat Skates

Recommended Posts

I took a chance and bought this CD the other day and I absolutely love this shiznit. Any other fans out there?

 

From what I gather, these dudes (they are all teens) released an all German album and this is the English-ized version. Is English-ized a word?? :doh:

 

Anyway, this shit kicks ass and track 2 "Ready Set Go" sounds just like Crashdiet if you ask me.

 

Anybody into these guys? Should I track down the orginal German versions of these tunes??

Yeah, these guys were pretty cool if I remember correctly. I spun it last week and I think there were a few ordinary tracks, but some good stuff too. Is this the band Jim compared to Kill Hannah and I agreed? I forget... jeez I need to settle down and get familiar with some CDs. :(

I had this for a brief time, but have since gotten rid of it. There are several very catchy tracks though. Very young band too. I'd rather hear younger bands doing this kind of commercial rock stuff than trying to be the next Nsync.

This is a cool disc. Still enjoying spinning it. One question I have is - anyone know how old these guys are? On the CD sleeves they look like 15 year old kids.

That dude third from the left looks like the singer from that 80s pop band Dead or Alive. Y'know, "you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby round round round round...."

Is it just me or does the lead singer look like the cover of Tigertailz "Bezerk". I can't get that image out of my head every time I look at him.

Did he/she/it finally get the full wiener-ectomy? I saw him/her on VH1's Where Are They Now a while back and though he/she had gotten a ton of plastic surgery to make him/her look even more womanly, they didn't say anything about him going "all the way" so to speak.

WOW!

Look how politically correct they look!

Starting Right to left:

1st guy looks like a metal dude!

2nd looks like a glam gal/dude

3rd looks like a wannabe rapper

4th guy looks like a reject from N-SYNC

Pathetic!! :loser:

I've spun this a few times and my final conclusion is that they sound like Kill Hannah, but Kill Hannah do it much better. Whereas this sounds depressing at times, Kill Hannah sounds atmospheric. Oh, and the songs are better. I do like this disc, especially towards the end, but as I say... just a little depressing at times.

 

I'm also really curious to know how old these guys are as this is their 2nd album and based on the photos they must have been about 12 for the debut.

I believe I read somewhere that they were all between 17 to 21.

I gave this a try-out for about $3-4 in a secondspin order.... not too bad.

 

The first thing that strikes me is the length .... 15 tracks. I don't know why they made it this long. I think if they cut it down to 10 tracks they could have cut-out some of the filler and made it a really good disc. Not saying it bad, jsut coulda been better if they trimmed the fat.

I agree. I'd have been happy to cut off the 5 weakest songs and make it a 10 track disc. Would have made it a lot nicer.

Haha! Almost looks about as mishmashed as the band they formed on Family Guy...

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
