Reception

"The atmosphere is not right often. Too much bombast and production, too little authenticity. [ ... ] The album lacks the touch of something special. Here is a routine, if not making music even calculated. The band shows why it has commercial potential, but forgets to throw the heart into the mix -. Than they would have been afraid it might wear off as you imagination "

" The rest is well known, the opulence. At least the perceived drama. After twelve years [ ... ] makes the mother favorites so fast no one anything before. Placing their swank in silence. And that the British are show- one really knows you, it speaks not only from open. Here you kleckert not with great melodies and nice touches. "
