I also think it was too soon, but on the other hand I was also very happen to have 2 albums in 1 year. And even if it was released later on, one still don't knows if it would have had other track's or just the same as it has now.

And it was released sooner than planned because TQIWITQ did very well in the charts, which could very well have been a surprise to Scooter and they therefor decided to make very fast an album in the same style so that they could lift upon the succes of TQIWITQ.

A bit too early, I think. And they probably didn't work very long on it either, a week or two more could have made a lot difference. I like the album, though, it's certainly different, and has interesting tries, Lighten Up The Sky and Marian (Version) to name a few.

Yes, I love "Marian (Version)" , I like those different style songs on Scooter albums....
But the nice thing about this album is that the single versions of the last single and the comming single are different to the album version, because of that it's even more joy to buy the single than if it's totally the same as on the album I like it when they make different versions of songs for the single releases!!!!! In a way you get more songs from an album because of that, and furthermore from this album are released very much singles just as in the old days, finally!!!! :wink:

I think its one of the best albums for a long time - so I vote no

it should have been released in february after the JAOTW single (And no matches shouldn't have been released, T ? two or three weeks later). The quick release of the album wasn't useful for its success. Because: Jumpstyle is still not "out" in Germany, in fact the jumpwave has never come here (there are no successful jumostyle producers in the top 30 except Scooter) and the album didn't achieve a high chart entry (it didn't enter the top10 like TSTE or TUAO did), so the success of T? gave no real push to it. Weekend gave a stronger push to TSTE. The JAOTW album was really successful three weeks after its release (when it came back into the top30)
And the album could have been more various: more jumpstyle tracks in different styles (not only HPV, maybe a real crowd track, a guitar track like Whatever you want or a harfae jumpstyle track like FtM) and a better instrumental instead of Ther Hardcore Massive or Lighten Up the Sky.

No.

They say songs need time to mature but I love the fact we have 2 versions of I'm Lonely. I vote no because it's my favourite album.

Yes, maybe if the album would have been made in a longer period we would get only one version of I'm Lonely, and now we have two !!! :wink:

I think this album has some great material on it, plus the fact of 2 versions of I'm Lonley.....defo isn't something that happens often, so thumbs up!

I think it is great like it is.

It is normal that a single from an album will changed a bit.

But 'I'm Lonely' has certainly changed more than a bit.

It's almost a total change, not often that happens.

But very welcomed Big Grin!

Fuck the Millenium, Aiii shot the DJ, Apache/Rock Bottom, Call me Manana and Friends also experienced big changes before for their release as a single.

Maybe Scooter needed the success to have more energy for their production. Too much success can be an obstacle to creativity and engagement, but if success lacks, you will always feel a bit paralized, because you won't be relaxed and self-confident enough to try something. You could see this in the single choices of WGTLLN? and TUAO - Scooter had no better ideas than releasing the "construction" Apache rocks the bottom and the experiment "Lass uns tanzen" without big changes compared to the album version. They had better single tracks on the albums, but in my opinion they didn't really know how to give sth. fresh and new to the album tracks which were tracks in the typical Scooter style.
Perhaps they needed the success of T?, JAOTW and And no matches for the ideas you need to turn even the fourth single from an album into sth. special.
So the album and T? were released just in time to give Scooter the old confidence back (especially Michael needed to show that Scooter can be successful with him). By the way: There are less self-praising lyrics on JAOTW.

Totally agree, couldn't have put it better myself.

I think that after the lack of succes of 'Behind The Cow', Scooter didn't know what to do now, so they decided to release an experimental track 'Lass Uns Tanzen' to see if this would get them succesfull. I think the lack of succes of BTC suprised Scooter, because it was from the album TUAO, which according to the title, Scooter considered as a very very high quality musical album (which it is :wink: ).
And after LUT was again not a huge succes they tried the JUMPSTYLE, and finally they managed to make with TQIWITQ a very succesfull 4th chapter track. And now they try to hold to that succes

my second fav.

didn't need much changing, i think they should have either omitted one track from the album and released it later as a single. OR should have had a high-energy track to release befor the album's release.

I consider "Behind the Cow" to be a construction that should enforce success. They put everything into this track that was trendy and cool at that time (house beats with guitar play in the background, a hip hop part, the famous klf riff, hard bass) but the single parts of "Behind the Cow" didn't fit together. And they forgot one thing that makes Scooter songs unforgettable: a earworm chorus. When I first listened to "Behind the Cow" I thought that the "hooray this is the way"-part would be a bridge similar to the "I'm bigger and bolder..."-part in Posse, but it was already the chorus.
