I still can't pick the right words to describe this album, but after a while, I thought,
hey, maybe it doesn't need any. Maybe it'll be better off without any tagging or marking
or whatever. The music says it all, and it says way more than words.
I've been listening to The Things We Can't Stop ever since its release, and I simply
can't get enough of it.
Truth be told the first listen left me somewhat disillusioned and nostalgic for the good
old days of 13WTBOS and the dark and wicked Cold most of us if not all, love so much.
Then I tried to put myself in Scooter's shoes and asked myself if I would be singing or
playing the same stuff 20 years on, and I hesitated. I thought this is a mature album and
I should take it accordingly...
Then, a week passed, and some witchy things started to happen. The album was growing on
me immensely. It just resonated with me so deeply that getting goosebumps anytime the
soaring chorus from Scooter comes in, has become a daily Cold therapy. The new album
combines the old and the new so perfectly that it's already become one of my favorites.
TTWCS has a very unique, I dare say uplifting mood. I tried to pick the favorite songs on
the album and having counted to 10 or 11, I figured it's the whole damn album. I'm still
digging Systems Fail though, but it's a question of time.
Thank you, Cold,
It's absolutely amazing. |
