Sound: When I first started listening to the band I thought they were pretty good, since they had been music at such a young age and their lyrics were nice and I did love them. Sound... They moved from alt into Mainstream pop in a heartbeat. I thought it wasn't really anything special. Sounded a lot like todays mainstream music with the repeativiness and what no. All you hear through out the songs are rhythm Guitar and a few notes played on the keyboard and the drums going 1,2,3,4 etc. Don't get me started on the bass. // 6

Lyrics and Singing: Like any other song. He sings about Love and Love and guess what? MORE LOVE! I think maybe 3 or 4 of the songs aren't about love, but I guess it is nice because we all need some love in our lifes haha. This is not for the cold hearted. Singer is okay. He has a special voice that you don't usually hear, but it's not amazing. // 7

Impression: I didn't like it as much as their old albums. You can't really compare to other artist yet... What I loved about it was, they did a bit of expermenting, even if it didn't turn out that well. It wasn't all that bad. I would buy it again, but just because I'm that type of fan. Hopefuly in the future they'll come out with a better album. // 5

Sound: Before I being, I love Tokio Hotel. It's very different and I admire Bill for being talented. I admire all of them. Seriously. But let's be realistic, shall we? // 8

Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics on Humanoid... way different than the lyrics from Scream. The lyrics... are painful, in a beautiful way. That's how I see it. There's a story in the single Automatic, "There's no real love in you." A human and an android--unable to feel emotion. You're able to tie that to a relationship, where you love that person, and that person doesn't love you back.

In the bonus track, Alien "There's an alien in me. Who are you? Who am I?" Not knowing who you are, or being afraid of realizing who you've become perhaps.

In the song Hey You, the beginning line, "Come on, you can look at me; I don't need to fit in. Stand up if you give a damn, it's the living season." Being different. It speaks the truth--don't care what anyone says about who you are or what you say, be you!

Bill doesn't fail the fans. He gives his all, always. And the music behind the voice--Tom (guitar), Georg (bass), and Gustav (drums)--they give it their all. The music goes along with the lyrics in a way... that just clicks, naturally. // 9

Impression: I was very pleased with this album. (Especially since it was my 16th birthday present.) It's a CD you can dance to and cry to. Favorite songs would have to be... lolol well, most of them actually. I was only disappointed with Forever Now, really. Zoom Into Me was kinda missing something too, but it faintly remind me of By Your Side (on the Scream album).

If this CD was stolen from me--because I sure as hell wouldn't LOSE it... I'd cry. I got the limited edition Best Buy version. English CD with four bonus songs and standard German version. I'd be ticked. I would find a place to buy the freaking CD again! // 9

Sound: I Honestly think this is the BEST Album ever! The lyrics are just so wonderful and totally loving the new guitar riffs in it :) It is also very techno-y and I like that they added that effect to there new sound. Bill's voice has gotten so much more beautiful (not like it never was, it was always beautiful!) but he just used it in different tunes now. I totally recommend this for anyone to buy! // 10

Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics were amazing. I was so surprised to see that Bill put really depressing words and moods into the new music. I swear if you read deep enough you can feel the pain his songs are showing. It kinda makes you feel sad. But then the other songs are just Fun, Party Like!

So you can get anything outta this new Album! // 10

Impression: My Overall Impression was Very Happy Like about this new Album :) I honestly Love the Songs:

Humanoid
Phantomrider
Hey You
Attention
Down on You
In your Shadow
Automatic
Dogs Unleashed
Zoom into Me
Alien
Forever Now

and so on. & if it were stolen I'd buy 10 more! Hhaha // 10

You know I hate tokio hotel but besides that Your only talking about Bill, but you know its a band.

It is also very techno-y and I like that they added that effect to there new sound.

Like this is allready not a 10 worth because they can't do that live... but yeah your just a fan girl..

[theoldwizard]

Why even post this if you can't rate it objectively?

[plakkert]

This review is absolutely ridiculous.

[Kackao]

lul i first thought this is sarcastic...

[Captain Penguin]

Wait... you're being serious? Oh god.

i somehow get the feeling that theres gonna be no objective review of this album...
and this review was awesome...
ly stupid.

[iceman45]

this review looks kinda biased

[huevos]

This...how?
I'm trying to understand why this even on the front page, let alone UG. It's complete garbage.
There's no useful info and there's far too much bias. I hope this is a joke...not that it never was.

[el-shredder]

This isn't even a review, unless you consider a fangirl going "BEST ALBUHM EVAR!1!1!!1" a review.

[nailsarecruel]

This borders more on trolling than bias.

[Poglia]

I don't understand why UG accepted this "review" and declined some good tabs and reviews of mine...

[Pr0teZT]

Pretty funny that my comment got deleted (even though I only talked about licking bills nipples) and this utter crap review didn't.
Ok let me refrain my comment.
I find this review a bit of a let down since there is a high matter of biasness and subjectivity in it, resulting in a for me personally not so great review.
Better ?

[Linkerman]

This isn't a review. Is a love declaration.

Little girl, are you sure you're in the right place?
This isn't a Tokio Motel fansite, in case you didn't notice...

[Just_Matt]

I honestly thought you were trolling, but after looking at your profile, it seems you are not.
This is why I've lost all faith in humanity.

[5t4lky]

ridiculous.
there´s nothin more to say about that "review"...
she´s only talking about that shemale called bill?
A shame for all of us germans!
And a shame for me and my region!
Fuck this so called band.

[OXL]

Well, I understand they added FX to the singers voice, he can't sing. Unfortunately I once turned on the TV and TH were on, PERFORMING LIVE! It was one of the most shocking things I've ever witnessed. But Tatiana, don't let these comments get you down, if you like them, no worries, eventually, over time, I'm sure you'll develop a more mature taste in music, based on the actual music, not you're "love" for the one performing it. I thought the review was rather cute.

[octopec]

If I had more hands, I would give this review four thumbs down.

[Kaadsj]

i agree with everything said here. but let's not forget to take a look at that albumcover. there aren't a lot of albumcovers that look THAT ugly and ridiculous.

[Kaadsj]

sorry to doublepost, but what's up with this bull**i*?

I swear if you read deep enough you can feel the pain his songs are showing. It kinda makes you feel sad.

My Overall Impression was Very Happy Like about this new Album

hmmmm....

hmm, i dislike this band enough to start with but seriously.....does this girl even listen to the music, no comments on the actualy sound, production, or overal music were made except the techno-ey comment which is lame.....horrible "review"

Can we expect better from a Tokyo Hotel fan?

[OXL]

@5t4lky:
Don't be ashamed, you've got Creator, Destruction, Sodom, Holy Moses and Tankard ;

[Jesus_Dean]

Is today April 1.?

I have a 14y.o. daughter, and she absolutely hates these fäggöts.

That's my Girl!!

[Steve-O~32]

what is this person like 12 years old...the person is just talking about random stuff about the album, not about the album itself, and talking about JUST Bill doesn't help her out much at all...there's no way any album can be a "10" all the way around, and if you really believe that, support it, don't just say "The lyrics were really good...they have pain"
Bullshit

The fact that a review (and band) like this exists offends me as a human being, let alone a musician. I actually lol'd at the pictures of the band members of Tokio Hotel. Who dressed them up like that? XD It reminds me of nutjobs putting their dogs in fancy sweaters, it is just inherently ridiculous. Unless they are cold. I don't endorse freezing your dachshund.

props. good job raising a rational 14 year-old.

[TwistedLogic]

Everyone has the right to post reviews. If the reviewer is loves the band, so be it. Objectivity would be nice, but this is UG, not Billboard.

[tamotots]

coming from a person who's username is tokiohotel lover? WORST. REVIEW. EVER. stupid fangirls. give some constructive reviews, not a omgilovetokiohotelbillissohot review.

[Mordatuned]

hell i just found out recently that the lead singer was a guy. i thought that was a chick for the longest time. but yea, a 10 for a horrible band like this?? get the hell outta here

[eetfuk58]

I dont know how UG let this review slide as the main one, its just a fangirl praising a horrid band, this is not an objective review at all.

Maybe UG couldnt find anyone else whou would actually listen to the album to review it....

[eetfuk58]

I dont know how UG let this review slide.
Its not objective at all, its just a delirious fan talking about how much she loves them. weak ass.

maybe UG couldnt find anyone else to actually listen to this album ha.....

[crocoscar]

I Honestly think this is the BEST Album ever!

I loled so hard

[Missile Tank]

XD That's a joke!

I'm not a Tokio Hotel that's why I would say all albums are crap!
But honestly, you have to be objectiv!
Go on reading reviews other reviews and you will see that this is crap you've written XD

[everjump]

Nice one UG

[Mr.Torrez]

I lol'd hard at this...

Objectiveness: You're doin' it wrong

[Oliver.]

Wow! Not only do you have exquisite taste in music, but your writing style is engaging, exciting and technically flawless. A relentlessly detailed and descriptive critique of the album- congratulations on writing what must be one of the best music reviews on the site!

[chrisdazzo]

Holy shit. Epic. Objectivism, woop!

[Slicer666]

I call troll.

[ninjagayden777]

Hate the review, but am I one of the only people commenting that admits that I actually LIKE this band?

[Vinushka]

This is clearly a MASSIVE troll review. The name, the rabid fangirlism, everything about it is either an intentional troll or a horribly deluded girl.

UG needs to remove this bull**** review.

[ckyman]

Well, if we look at the reviewers name then we clearly undestrand why is this so utterly terribly sickening, cause seriously, Tokio (H)Motel is the gayest thing to come out since well, being gay
I'll just throw this a 1 and grin evilly ;P

[ZeGuitarist]

Checked. Requested removal of this horribly biased review as well. But please, tone down on the spam, guys.

[The JesterHead]

Seriously, UG must have really lowered its standards to even accept a review such as this one...

Hey, I've got an idea, why not just 10 everything that comes out and call it a day?

[Skullshrinker]

I truly hate Tokio Hotel, but it's not about that here...your review is not even a true review...I mean: ok you like that band (sic): but please, try to develop, to analyse for real the album, instead of just writing "wow that's so wonderful" or "the lyrics are amazing"...

[Superperfex]

Hey guys, I didn't know UG started to rate on a scale of 1-100.

Great review.

[Quarbon]

U guys talk about being objective, then why does this album has (atm.) a 1,6 'users rating' then? LOL.

[Superperfex]

They DO have a fan base. So I'd imagine them vote 10's or whatever.

She can probably whoop Bill's skinny little ass as well!!

[RyoujokuNoAme]

Face it, on this website you're either going to get a review by fangirls/boys saying how much hey love them, or someone complaining how shit they are.

This guy is right, no one in their right mind could objectively give this album higher than a 1.

[kumamilesbear]

wait....
whaaa?
UG, i'm not sure you understand April Fools day. Its supposed to be April 1st. It is currently October....

[Equivalence]

this must be the first time ever that all users seem to agree in an argument

[tokiohotelluvr]

OK PEOPLEZ
SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GONNA BE THIS BIG OF A DEAL
ME AND MY FRIEND WROTE IT!
AND I LOVE TOKIO HOTEL SO CHILLAX
I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS GONNA MAKE FRONT PAGE EITHER
I WOULD DELETE IT BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW...

[PerilousMangoo]

wow....just....wow

[Dubistkrank]

What i dont think it is that bad
This girl really likes Tokio Hotel
and she says in her comment shes trying to delete it...
Jeez people you should give her a break.

[ZeGuitarist]

Seriously, people, stop spamming in here. I'm giving out warnings to anyone posting more spam.

To tokiohotelluvr: I requested the deletion of this review, as it's horribly biased and therefore doesn't meet UG's quality standards for reviews.

[korbhag]

Seriously the guy who approved this review simply wanted to see all of the hate comments that he knew would be posted. Thumbs up to him for doing so!

[mustainex2000]

ok UG team yo have to stop that own-review option, even when a record sucks or not, the review itself is awful

[TheReverend724]

I think I saw this on Sputnik...

[TheHammer]

I believe that this album could be ranked in with the best of anything by Zeppelin or Sabbath and makes the Beatles look like crap, plus it reduces greenhouse emissions, feeds the homeless and cures herpes!

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA..... A paragraph of popstain followed by a mile and a half of flaming. The people have spoken.

[TreMejia]

Not to be a hater of any sort, however, you were EXTREMELY bias doing this review.

[HGF]

wow, I cant see a supporting comment to the review, and I almost read everyone's comment!

of course, it's not objective

[foreverockin_ai]

*sighs* Dear lord... Look, I'm gonna make this straight--I LOVE TOKIO HOTEL. But this is supposed to be a review pointing out the strong and weak points of an album... I don't mean to offend you, tokiohotelluvr, but I think I can write a better review... and I think I will.

Any one who wants to read an actual review (can't find a better word for ACTUAL, damn >>, look for my review. I just posted it, so give me 48 hours.

why hasn't this been removed yet????

[RetteMich483]

dude i am a tokio hotel fan too but damn dont you think you went overboard? this is way to biased and doesnt talk about the ****ing album but what you liked about it!

[auburn_december]

I'm a fan of Tokio Hotel, and I liked the album, but in my opinion these reviews are way too overrated.

[NeekaTodd]

The album is at least 3x better in the original German. The English translation/writing generally sucks. And I don't think Bill actually writes all the lyrics so there's not even that to go on..
Humanoid is their worst album, definitely.

[RetteMich483]

I wonder if they could remove those reviews I posted a new one
