Agonoize - Apokalypse mp3 download

Blackredeemer

Oddly enough this is probably my favorite Agonoize album.I like Agonoize either way but this album has more variety than the others.I often felt like that the sound and all tracks of the album sound more or less the same and are repetitive.This is not the case with this album. I stopped counting how often I listened to it already.Usually Dubstep is not my stuff but its okay here and not overused.However, the Dafür classic version from the Wahre Liebe Single was better than the original.The Deluxe 2CD Edition is a bit boring since its only live recordings but still better than a whole disc full of 08/15 remixes.In the end I guess I can say that this is one or maybe THE favorite album of Agonoize for me.Please more of this. And less of The Sexorcist. How can people even listen this 08/15 boring crap?

Out of Line likely wants more of the same from one of their biggest selling bands, but frankly Agonoize're getting a bit boring by now... Still, whenever they'd try to vary the concept, it falls flat on its face. For instance, "Endstation: Tod", seriously? Their most awkward track to date, an embarrassing attempt to include dubstep rhythms a year past its alleged innovative coolness. So the better way would be to stick to their preset guns and try evolve within the tight spot they've painted themselves into, and hope that one of the zombie-splatter cliché tunes will once again turn out to possess the striking chords and reach the haunting danceability of their early works. After all, cars have improved vastly since the T-ford, so why shouldn't sequels aim to improve upon the original designs a rather than just aspire to become a boring copy? Unfortunately, the tracks on this release have 'fillers' written all over them, and none amounts to the instant recognition condensed into "Sheer naked aggression", "Die for blood", "Open the gate", "Eye on you" or "Bäng bäng, goodbye". If as a DJ I'd been requested to play a single song from this album, I'd have to pick the catchy "Death by stereo" (although the 'boom-boom!' part seems too close to their classic 'bäng-bäng!'). The bonus live tracks on the deluxe edition are generally better (if not necessarily good) in their official versions; the exception and only one revamped enough to really add any interesting diversion and treatment to it would be "Bis das Blut gefriert" (with its intro and slower interludes allowing sounds from the crowd to blend into the song, and a more desperate chorus chanting "...und Dich! ind Dich!" part wanting on the single edit). Come to think of it, that live version is probably the best track on this album.
