amazon.de about “High Anxiety”

Started by nice guys

Not very positive; so here it is (esp. for the German WOM-members):

Es ist schon so eine Sache mit Therapy?. Seit dem Hit-Album Troublegum hat die Truppe immer noch einen Stein im Brett der meisten Indie-Rock-Fans. Dabei konnte man diese Scheibe qualitativ nie mehr erreichen, und in den letzten Jahren erweckte man sogar den Eindruck, überhaupt nicht mehr zu wissen, wohin man wollte.
Da tut der erste Eindruck von High Anxiety gut, denn auf den elf Songs gibt man sich wieder wesentlich eingängiger und zugänglicher. Das Problem ist nur, dass die Stücke niemals den Hit-Charakter der 90er-Großtaten erreichen. Tracks wie “Hey Satan - You Rock”, “Who Knows” oder “Nobody Here But Us” lassen beim Hören zwar durchaus anerkennend mit dem Kopf nicken, sind andererseits aber bereits zehn Minuten später schon wieder komplett vergessen.

Fazit: Auch High Anxiety ist alles andere als ein Klassiker, dürfte vor allem Altfans aber zumindest streckenweise zufrieden stellen. Vorheriges Reinhören sei jedoch empfohlen.

To sum it up:

It says that HA is nothing special and will be forgotten soon. The author thinks that TPY?’s best time is over…

I think it is still to come!

Darüber mußte ich ehrlich gesagt als ich den Text vor einer Weile las ein bischen lachen. “Überhaupt nicht mehr zu wissen wohin man wollte” - anderen wird vorgeworfen sich ständig zu wiederholen, hier ist eine Band bei denen jedes Album doch seinen relativ eigenen Stil hat.

Hi,

I would say that amazon is not the site where I look, when I want to get some information about an album. They have to sell cds and so they compare every album with the commercial success of troublegum.
I don’t know if it’s bad music, when you’re selling less cds.

I’m very excited for the shows!!!

See you, itsum

What the Amazon idiots are saying about the new album, is fucking bullshit.

I heard the full album and it’s absolutely the best thing they brought out the last couple of years…

Robby, if I remember correctly you bought the Shameless promo at Esprit, right? Did you buy High Anxiety as well, or did you get it for free? I’ve seen the High Anxiety promo for sale several times already, the last time for $6,41..

Yes, I bought Shameless via Esprit for 120 USD (AAAAAAAHHHHHHH that’s still hurting…). Even Mr McKeegan mailed me about it hehe…

I bought the High Anxiety CD several weeks ago on Ebay from a big asshole in England, I never thought he would actually send it because he acted like an idiot and I was quite sure he would ripp me off… but to my surprise he did send it :cool:
