About a year ago, one of my friends introduced me to a German rock band called Tokio Hotel. I fell in love with them. They were amazing. I couldn't get enough of them. Their album Scream was constantly on repeat because it was just so good.
Once I heard they were releasing a new album, Humanoid, I was extatic! I could barely wait until I got home to open it. In fact I didn't even wait that long, I had opened it and read all the lyrics before I even heard one song. I'm sad to say, even though the album's been out for a while, that they dissapointed me. It wasn't horrible, but it sounded as that they were trying way to hard to fit into the "pop" culture of America today, which is weird seeing as how they arn't American... Plus, the lyrics wern't as great as I was expecting them to be. In Scream the lyrics told stories, amazing ones. A good song makes you feel something; whether that feeling is love, sadness, or maybe even anger. The new songs, while a few were catchy, were boring. I played them over in my head a couple of times and then got sick of them.
I understand that bands change over time, but this change wasn't for the better. I like their older sound; that was the Tokio Hotel I know and love.
