As for me, UTROTT is the best album ever, and I am sorry for the nostalgic, but hopefully the next album is again hardstyle

Yes an album should have something like a common spirit, but that doesn't mean that all the songs have to belong to the same genre.
"NTTC" had contained completely different songs, but there was this future style throughout the whole album. TSTE had its stadium atmopshere and BTTHJ was hard and dark.
Only with some albums they lost the spirit. "Sheffield" started with MC's missing, Don't gimme the funk and I'm your pusher with stadium party tracks (a lot of crowd in the chorus and the background), but then it became some kind of club album (Space Cowboy, Where do we go?) and then there were instrumentals, experimentals (Sex dwarf, Never slow down) and melancholic ballads (Summer Wine, She's the Sun) - the stadium/open air party sound from the beginning got lost. In the beginning the album reminds of a sunny summerday, in between and in the end it has a darker and more melancholic atmopshere.
If Scooter had saved the energetic summerday-open air spirit from the beginning of "Sheffield" it could have been the first "Stadium Techno Experience".

i dont like house but scooters house is ok, i love Lass uns tanzen, ufo phenomina is good too, so not to bad, to me TUAO was mostly house based but a little tougher,
behind the cow has that fire kinda feel, which was a house rock track.

i know once oasis released a album called the masterplan, it was an album of just b sides to that point
it entered at the uk chart on 2,
scooter could do this too, or lt least a bonus for the fans

Yeah, I think it would be about time to release a compilation of the new b-sides.

In my opinion it's good that the latest albums consist of more single-like tracks. Thesy should just vary more within their typical style: not each single-style track must contain a hpv, the A-B-A-B-C-B and must be shorter than 4 minutes. They can also make typical tracks which are longer and have more parts or the same parts in another construction. Further they could vary in the souting style of HP: there could be tracks with less shouting/rapping (like See your Smile, FtM or Friends), there could be some with more shouting (like Posse and One), there could be some tracks with HP's clear voice (like How much is the fish?), some with doubled voice (JAOTW), some with dark voice (Remedy).
And: More variation between the refrains: one track with hpv, one with e-guitar, one with crwod, one with clear female or male voice, one with a synth or instrumental melody and so on...

i agree, variation is a good thing, a track like 'like hypa said' would be good, like you said, female voice, 6 mins long good hp lyrics, a track like that would be good

More creativity doesn't necessarily mean that they have to make an album full of experimental or instrumental tracks. There is still a potential for variation within their typical style. But they use that potential not very often on their albums
-JAOTW was a good beginning: mixture of crowd and hpv and a powerful effect because of HP's doubled voice and special shouting rhythm, but the rest of the album HP shouts a lot and he shouts in the way he's been shouting during the whole last albums
there are so many possibilities: clear voice, doubled voice, dark voice, special shouting rhytms/sounds ("See your Smile", "Friends", "JAOTW"), autotune, singing in a typical track ("TSAMH", "I'm raving"), electro voice...-they should really use them more
the same goes for song constructions and chorus styles - why is almost every track on JAOTW a hpv track? You can make jumpstyle with different chorus styles; "Like Hypa said" is a good example for a typical, but longer and more epic track - so why not producing more of such tracks?

i hope they will in the next album, so many possibilitys as said and also in music styles and constuction of a track, it would be good to here a track acually start with the corus of a song then the hp part, maybe something like move your ass, i always welcome cover versions if they are done well, like second skin, but i would like to here a harder cover next time, i love new wave but something a little different, the last 2 albums have has such tracks, and before
also longer tracks aswell

i agree with mr hyper where JAOTW is kinda the same i had the same thought,
typical intro-a bad one at that too, but the wiki style lrics on jumoing is funny
a hard track with hard vocal-some happy parts with the hpv-personly ruin the track but still good never the less
then question is in a more typical scooter build up form with the new jumpstyle, and a well timed return to the hpv when it was first relesed
but then EG- which i find good and not so much the same as the first few track, NS, ANM, kinda have the same effect, note how ANM was mostly the same as TQIWITQ but a more dance style version.
cambodia is then very different-one of my personal favorites, love the syncs on this track
then im lonely was different, expesally on the re release in its trance form, then suddenly a return to the same song stucture with WD, but i do love that piano rythem at the start of the song, then marian witch is very different from the album and doesnt fir too welll to the album (which in a way is proberly why scooter seem to stick to one style for the last two albums) after that the album goes out on a hardstyle mash up, but the new version of LUTS kinda adds more vairaty to the album in its new trance form,
but if you put TQIWITQ, EG, NS, ANM and WD togheter that you have half an album of litrally the same song, in my opiniun as well too much hpv

UTROTT kinda is the same as this albums concept, making it a proper follow up album, i shant chat no more, i could go on all night

If the original version of JAOTW had contained "Jump that rock" instead of "And no matches", a jumpstyle track with a chorus like the one in "F#ck the Millenium" or "How much is the fish?" (bagpipes, harfae would have fit well to the jumpstyle sound) and the new "Lighten Up The Sky" it would have made a "wider" impression. Less hpv, other chorus styles would have porvided more variety.
But "would have" and "could have" don't help, now Scooter should look that they become more various within their typical style for the next album.

Well, it's impossible to read everything, that u wrote here, so I will give my opinion)

So, I think, that the brand new album will be released exactly next year. Why? Well, because Scooter makes new Tour in UTROTT-support. It would be stupid to produce a new album and make a tour to support an old one)) So, about genre of it - I think guys will continue to work in hardstyle, taken into consideration a great success of JAOTW and UTROTT. But now it will be more soft and without too much pitch-voice and stolen samples) It will be cool to hear some motives like in NTTC or Sheffield, but in modern re-work. And, of cource, I hope guys will remember about Celebrate The Nun-stuff and "reload" it! :-D

good point there, why do a new album when the xmas tour is UTROTTtour part 2, good one there, maybe a new single from now till then would be more apreacated, then it could kinda slot into the track list

so i think the next album will be out febuary 2011, and a new single in summer to hold the gap, also then a new single in november time, then you get from febuary till the tour 2011 to promote the new tour and album

Quoted from "kelvo"

so i think the next album will be out febuary 2011

Yes, agree. February, may be March...
But I'm afraid of one thing... They can make just something like UTROTT : TSTI Edition, with new WTB and BaBB and one-two new singles. Though, if we can believe Scooter, the work on new album is online))

If it's still possible, I think if Where the Beats... was released as a single right before the clubland tour to make something newish for the UK fans

But I think that UTROTT is done, let's see what Scooter have in store for us now

I don't think it's the right thing to milk UTROTT until its death. The album was a big success in Germany (not in the UK!) - but it was not that successful that you should continue with it extra-long. The last two single releases weren't chart breakers and "SOR" and even a new edition of UTROTT couldn't push it back into the charts.
So on the whole I prefer a new album in 2011 - with "complete" ("SOR" could have been improved in some ways), well-timed and well-promoted single releases. There was a lack of promotion and time-planning concerning the releases of "SOR" and "TSAMH".

i agree there, TSAMH could and should have been a big hit, it was so well made, but i think it does lack some energy

heres a few ideas for the future, im talking years here,
a re release of ATBGO all new and fresh, we already seen HH, MYA, ES and WFS and they sound like legend tracks now, imagine different reallaty in a new trance version, the intro is by far one of scooters best,---the reason i say yhis is most artists who retire or have been around years (eg, stone roses, rolling stones) re release there debut album for new ears and fans, i think personly it would go down really well.

exsample--- a singles collection box set
includes 4 cds + dvd of all hits,
each cd comes in its ome case with a book about that chapter eg cd 1 chapter 1 with book about those days, like a biograpy+discograpy and private pics
all in one boxset

i thinkthey would make great future material
