Best Of album!!!

[midori]

So, you might have heard the news that TH will be releasing a Best Of album next month?!! (Unfortunately, no UK release for us but oh well, Amazon UK might have it again or HMV and Play.com getting imports again... we'll see. )

What do you think about the cover artwork and setlist? Opinions and thoughts...

There will be a brandnew song (with a rather cool title) and also one of the old Devilish gems (Schönes Mädchen aus dem All) which might be new to some people. Personally my Devilish fave is Grauer Alltag but this one comes second. It's cute and funny and goes oh so well with the latest space/alien theme. I think it's awesome that a Devilish song will be included.

Thanks to the Canadian FC and Universal Canada for the setlist info!

The DVD will that be the music videos? Oh thats great. I like their videos. Id like them on DVD. If Iv got this wrong please let me know

[midori]

Nope, you've got that right... it's a collection of their music videos which is pretty awesome! (Just odd that 1000 Meere isn't listed.) I guess most fans are quite happy about it because we'd all love to have their music videos collected like this. Also, really nice touch to add the Making ofs.

[Amiee♥TH]

I can't wait to own this, it'll be like 2 christmas presents to myself haha, even though I have all of the songs listed (except the new 2), my collection won't look right without it!

[Amiee♥TH]

Amazon.co.uk appears to be getting the English version... Not a lot of info there though at the moment, probably closer to the date

www.amazon.co.uk/Best-English-Version-Tokio-Hotel/dp/B004BORFL8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1290276526&sr=8-1

[PippinMcGee]

HA. I don't trust Amazon.co.uk with Tokio Hotel stuff - I still remember painfully the day Humanoid got released... and I got a nice email telling me that there'd been a delay with my pre-order and it would arrive in 5 WEEKS.

[turner]

I got that too, but it came really quick.
Anyway, I'm still disappointed with this :/

[Amiee♥TH]

[NaomiOfC]

Wow ! Bopping around to 'Hurricanes and Suns'... you're right, it's AWESOME !! ♥ I love it ! Can't wait to own these cds

[Soubi]

It was on released this morning and premiered on Mad Radio in Greece, America got it second on Cherrytree

This is the clean version:



What do you think of it?
Personally, I love it.

[Mairi]

Thanks so much for the link to the ad free version Kim! Didn't matter how many times I'd listened to it, that woman advertising the station throughout the song still gave me a fright everytime lol...

*off to listen to it again*

[PippinMcGee]

I am completely in LOVE with Hurricanes and Suns. I just ADORE Bill's voice in it. The lyrics are a bit cliched but then again, it's Tokio Hotel - it sounds awesome so we can forgive them! XD

Disappointed with what?

I think it's brilliant that they include Devilish and put Schoenes Maedchen aus dem All on it. Like I said, it's goes well with the recent Humanoid theme and is a fun yet "embarrassing" song but not too bad considering other Devilish songs. So it's a good choice to also show this past side of the band. However, I do wish they'd put Grauer Alltag on it (as well) because it's the best Devilish song, in my opinion and it's also the most "authentic". To me it's really their roots and made me feel the most connected with the band because whenever I listen to it, I can feel it... the situation and how it was back "home" and in Magdeburg and even though it's so very depressing and gloomy (and mini Bill should cheer up! ) it's also true somehow. This song is the perfect match for all those times the twins are whining about and slagging off Magdeburg and how bad it was for them to be there etc etc. Even though I think they make it sound worse than it was and that Magdeburg isn't thaaaat bad, I get what they're saying (they could tone it down it a bit though *lol*) and this song just reflects it so well. That's why I would've loved for this song to be on the Best Of. To me it's an important piece of the band's history.

Anyway, I also think it's a shame that certain German songs aren't on it because they don't have an English version to go along with. That's a shortcoming of the Best Of album though I understand why it's done this way it's still a shame, e.g. not to have songs like Ich bin nich' ich or Wir sterben niemals aus.

However, I think it's a good tracklist and every song deserves to be on it. The longer I think about it the more I could add, of course. But that goes without saying. Haha I guess most of us love almost every TH song.
I wouldn't mind though if Rette mich/Rescue me wouldn't be on it. Just because that is the only TH song I truely do not like but yeah, of course it would have to be on there. ;D

I like the new song. Yeah, the lyrics aren't brilliant but Bill's pronunciation of "hurricanes" is and it's too catchy! I can imagine it to be tons of fun when played live and to really get the crowd going. Though I'm not really warming up to this weird "middle bit" from around 1.50mins. I don't get it and it makes the song somewhat messy. *shrugs*
