Good stuff

"'In This Together' is the song that brought my attention to Apoptygma Berzerk. It's one of the many catchy tunes on this album. The lyrics are outstanding. This is a great album, and as I understand it, distinctly different then the previous offerings. I don't believe there's anything wrong with the direction Stephan Groth is going, although I do realize he is alienating his more narrow fans. But that shouldn't be a problem, because Apop has always been about change and this album has brought in new fans like me. I think some old fans have a particularly rigid idea of what Apop should sound like on every album, but obviously that is not how the band feels. Stephan rocks!"
It's different, but then again ALL their albums are differen

"I just wanted to address the people who are complaining about APB's sound changing. They mention Welcome to Earth and Harmonizer. Imagine the shock when their sound changed from Soli Deo Gloria to Welcome to Earth - maybe you were too young for that. Long-time fans will tell you that their sound has ALWAYS changed, from album to album. That is the beauty of the band. They are older now, probably less angsty. Why make angry music if that's not how you really feel.



That said, this album is poppy. If you listen to it with an open mind, not expecting more of the old sound (define old sound anyway!) you might like it. If you want gritty, dark, clangy stuff, don't buy it."
Pretty disappointed...

"I have loved this band for years. When I first heard their "Welcome to Earth" Album in college I was entranced by the ethereal melodies and philosophical lyrics, along with the harder, more danceable tracks. I also really liked Harmonizer.



However, even though I respect any musicians' desire to experiment and break out of "their norm," I really felt like this album didn't showcase their talents at all. I found a lot of lyrics to be trite, and teenage-angsty, combined with uninteresting music. The one track I did like was "Tuning In to the Frequency of Your Soul."



Maybe this 80s-pop style will never be a favorite of mine with ANY band and is just a matter of personal preference, but I thought what they did best was the darkwave electric/EBM/Synthpop that they did on their other albums. It really doesn't even sound like APB in my opinion. I really miss their old style!"
