A few observations and ratings from the charming British chap.

1 - STEALTH - 6/10 = I don't really see the point in the intro tracks to be honest, but this is a decent opening to the album and I love how it carries straight into J'AH. I will ALWAYS be held in the embrace of a man who is pure.

2 - J'ADORE HARDCORE - 9/10 = My #2 single of the 4th chapter, behind only I'm Lonely (my favourite song EVER). Powerful, cracking lyrics and MAGNIFICENT instrumentally, an absolute epic.

3 - TI SENTO - 8/10 = I love that this has an actual female singer, rather then pitched voice. It makes a MASSIVE difference to sound and style of the track, which is typical Scooter but in a darker kind of way. Truly brilliant.

4 - STATE OF MIND - 8/10 = I really like the HPV, though I think that the single will feature a differently pitched voice, like I'm Lonely did. I don't think there's any question this well be the next single, absolute BANGER of a track.

5 - WHERE THE BEATS NEVER END - 9/10 = Right from the first beat, you just KNEW this was going to be an absolute classic, and it doesn't disappoint. It's different and fresh, powerful and emotional. A truly classic album track!

6 - BIT A BAD BOY - 7/10 = I think this one kind of blends into the background, it's a bit like a pause in the general mood of the first few songs. It doesn't seem to fit, for a reason I can't place. It's a bit like Neverending Story to me, good individually but there are many better tracks on the album.

7 - THE SOUND ABOVE MY HAIR - 8/10 = It's a wonderful WONDERFUL life, I'll never stop saying that! I LOVE that song, and I really like what Scooter have done with it. HP's verses fit perfectly and really give a different mood to the track. Class, absolute class.

8 - SEE YOUR SMILE - 8/10 = This was GUARANTEED to be sent to a girl I like, until the "I want to make love to you" line in the HPV, and now I'm not so sure! It's an absolute banger but I wish it was longer, there are so many samples in the track that it could have been a new Like Hypa Said. Too short, otherwise it would be a 9/10 - absolute TUNE.

9 - CLIC CLAC - 10/10 = OH........MY.........GOD!!! WHAT A TRACK! Simply PERFECT, the best track on the album for me, absolutely brilliant. I can't listen to this track without feeling uplifted and jolly. What a track, absolutely brilliant.

10 - SECOND SKIN - 8/10 = I really like the change of pace and direction, it's a brilliant track on its own, and it blends into the album brilliantly. What people don't understand about Scooter is that they're not just a dance act, they can do different and darker genres and this track is a classic example.

11 - STUCK ON REPLAY - 9/10 = Now this is a toe THUMPER. Brilliant beat and base, rocks you to your core. The HPV fits to the tune and to the mood of the song and the lyrics support it, further lyrical GENIUS from HP.

12 - METROPOLIS - 7/10 = Typical album closing instrumental track, it's traditional now and I wouldn't want it any other way. The breakdown part was disappointing, I think it lets the song down a little bit because the rest of the track is just outstanding and the perfect end to a truly superb album.

I give the album a 9 out of 10, I'm going to be listening to this for DECADES to come. What an album. I can't wait to get my hands on my own copy, but for now, ROCK ON!!!

loving the album - still to early to give a real review - but just now totally in love with Where The Beats and totally adicted to Stuck on Replay
...and Clic Clac - those are probably my 3 most played now on day 1

BTW - I don't know how anyone can really compare Clic Clac to Whistling Dave....

BTW - I don't know how anyone can really compare Clic Clack to Whistling Dave....

both tracks have something good in them,but they are distroyed by some awful parts. WD by that tetris part and CC by that "kindergarten style" Pinochio part

Whistling dave is my least favourite track in JAOTW - but love Clic Clac

OK. After listening the album over and over and over and over...again, I can bring my review to the table:

1. STEALTH....Pretty unusual intro, but extremely nice, much better and more improved than The Definition. My 3rd best, after Lights Out and Ignition..... 9/10

2. J'ADORE HARDCORE.... I like this song very much, and the beginning is different than in the video, which is great transition from Stealth... This song has great main melody, nice H.P. vocals, but not very original with "the crowd" shouting.... IT will totaly work live, though.....8/10

3. TI SENTO.... I don't remember the last time I heard such great song with such great opening and H.P. shouting... The Italian lady sings beautifully (I know that is taken form like, 20 years ago, but still)....9/10

4. STATE OF MIND....Great HPV, awesome HP and magnificent keyboards, long live hardstyle....10/10

5. WHERE THE BEATS.... GReat opening (and also main) melody, a kick ass bass line, and nice HPV. This would be nice if played live (I hope)....10/10

6. BIT A BAD BOY....The main melody is one of those that make me happy I was born in time to listen Scooter ... HPV is not bad, not their best, but overall, HPVs are all good on this album....9/10

7. SOUND ABOVE MY HAIR.... I can't. I just can't. I would not know where to start....just....15/10

8. SEE YOU SMILE.... I agree with thew most. HPV is cheesy, but HP delivers so fine... I love songs where vocals sound so catchy, when one is almost mixing with the next ...8.5./10

9. CLIC CLAC.... Awesome instrumental, very hard, very catchy, very make me wanna jump like an idiot ... one of their best and most original...9/10

10. SECOND SKIN...Nice tune, very melancholic and dark. I like it very much. I suppose it's a full cover, according to HP singing style... But when it comes to those kind of songs, Marian is no.1 for me....9/10

11. STUCK ON REPLAY... I think HPV is taken from MArk Oh, and i don't like it, but H.P. totally delivers !!! He is the main reason this song is rated...9/10...oh, and of course, melody is very nice...

12. METROPOLIS.... Thanks God, the classic Scooter ending... Awesome trance tune, maybe not as good as Love is an Ocean, but I'm sure it will soon grow up on me to the max.... Of course, anything is better than Hardcore Massive for the final song.....9/10

Overall: One of their best works to date, and already one of my favorite albums ( I say that after every album ). It stands in line with TSTE, WBTN and TUAO.....UTROTT gets 10/10 from me as an album from Scooter, and also as an techno album.... Well done Scooter !!!

i will write a review after i've listened to it some more but it does sound awesome.

WOW! the album came today and i didn't even pay extra for the postage so i'm very happy right now

I will have a close eye on the mailbox - maybe there's a chance for me to get my copy earlier than I expect

It's a wonderful WONDERFUL life, I'll never stop saying that!

Kill me!
Different tracks and motives.
Where it is similar?

Pardon, it is really similar in couplet

I rate it average.
Too many HPV.
In Nessaja or The Night I like HPV because it's not so whiny.
For me, the good tracks from UTROTT:
-Stealth
-J'adore Hardcore
-The Sound Above My Hair
-See Your Smile
-Second Skin
Not the best album. I wish the next album will be Scooter's old style.

Wow wow wow, I love the album!!!

But I'll write a review after I've heard it a few days.

Quoted from "Eyeball_Paul"

6. Bit A Bad Boy - sorry but this really sounds like State Of Mind Part 2...melody has exactly the same structure as the main melody in SOM, only the tonality is changed so it sounds a little bit different/happier than SOM...also, I dont like HPV part, too long and cheesy, sounds like it's taken from some ballad...

The HPV part is
Krezip - I Would Stay.

However I think its been resung as it doesnt sound like their singer (Forgot her name again) singing it. Sounds so weird in a HPV. Should of kept normal voice. Its such a great song

stealth 5/10
j'adore hardcore 9/10
ti sento 9/10
state of mind 8/10
where the beats 10/10

IMO Stuck On Replay better than Bit A Bad Boy and State Of Mind, because it has better lyrics and just flows better... but all 3 songs show, how lazybones can use the same synth in 3 different tracks...
EDIT:
Yeah that was 3 times "better" in one sentence...

Quoted from "scootertechnoru"

The Sound Above My Hair = Black "Wonderfull World"

Wonderful LIFE!!! If you're going to quote which tracks have been sampled, atleast show the original artist the respect of getting the track title right.
