[NET/US/Octobre 2009] Tokio Hotel's New Album, 'Humanoid'

At
LONG last, October 6, the day you've been waiting not so patiently for
is FINALLY here! Tokio Hotel's Humanoid album is out in the United
States and worldwide. And Humanoid -- Tokio Hotel's third album -- was
worth every minute of the wait.

Humanoid is Tokio Hotel's most
mature effort to date, and while it's a serried selection of absolute
destroyers like "Automatic," it's also packed with profound poignancy,
heavyhearted existential dread, moments of meaning, and glimmers of
hope. Musically, Tokio Hotel still delivers their signature loud, fast,
and hard sound you've come to expect, but it's louder, faster, harder
with more intent -- less for the sake of noise, and more for the sake
of music and meaning. The band's New Wave electro experimentation --
listen for undeniable traces of Depeche Mode's Violator ("Personal
Jesus," anyone?), Duran Duran's Rio (the chorus of "Save A Prayer"
comes to mind) and even elements of Queen ("Somebody To Love") -- works
to awesome effect, all of which unite to drive home Tokio Hotel's
concept of overcoming alienation and going-through-motions dull
automation to find a real human connection and, ultimately, love.
