Automatic/Automatisch Singles

This topic came up in another thread, so rather than take that thread too far offtopic, I made a thread here.

Amazon.de has Automatic video on their pages!

We really do not know, but amazon.de and amazon.com should also have them. I never use anything but amazon unless it is an iTunes exclusive.

Ah Amazon... ok, got it. I've never bought any digital downloads from there before.

Automatic/Automatisch review...

No idea if it is good or bad, as it is in German.

Maybe someone can translate?

translation, not 100% perfect, but I got about 98 percent of it,lol!!

we are heller and Becker, the toughtest cd critics in Germany on YT.
we have listened to a lot of music these last few weeks.
among those whitney houston.

today it is time for a band that is extremely debated.
they are even more polarising as "PUR"(german band), Tokio Hotel.
actually we think they are really good, because how often
does it happen that a german band is so successfull worldwide.
now something new, they have released the new single, Automatic,
in German Automatisch.
they premiered it this weekend in the show of Stefan Raab, schlag den raab.
surprisingly they did the english version, on german TV.
we listen to the song, unhearable to you, through headphones,
it has legal grounds because you can not just upload any song to YT.

we are listening to the new song Automatisch and are confused, surprised.
it sounds a bit like, late recordings of Münchener Freiheit (german band) at the beginning,
I would never have come up with this as being Tokio Hotel.
and especially this autotune, i think it is called, in which everything sounds ....
it sounds,i will say, very european. not that international like american.
Europop! yeah, a bit like europop.
maybe they did that on purpose, for the american market,recorded it for them cause they like this sort of music, they also like cascada overthere.

now the drumpart comes, and makes it sound a bit like Tokio Hotel again.
it also sounds a bit like..not the voice but the sound, a bit like Kings of Leon.
atleast a little bit.

I am liking it though!
I am also relatively surprised.it has a good refrain.
you can notice that. better as the other stuff they have made until now, I have to say.
although.. tokio hotel are really good musicians.
they are always badmouthed.
the make up annoys the hell out of me. I can't look at them.
Yeah, but there is something about this group. yeah not bad.
I mean, they have broken through internationally.
and I think in the end you are not that wrong.
they kept it very much european but with their sights on America.

on the scale of 1 to 6 on Becker/Heller. 1 being the best, 6 being the worst.
what do you give them: I give them a 2 minus, i have to admit now.
my girlfriend will be.....with me.
it really isn't bad.
I give them a 2. Tokio Hotel, Automatic, a good thing!
and what do you think about it, leave your comments ...blahblah..

Good thing that they can admit they lik eteh song even though they disliek TH and can't even look at them. But they are mature enough to admit TH are good musicians and derserves credit for their accomplishments in their career and that the song is good and (in their opinion) an improvment over the old TH songs. It could have been very easyfor them to just dismiss the song just because it is TH and not give the song a fair chance.

I love how they seem surprised. "It really wasn't that bad. REALLY. It wasn't that bad. It was almost good, I mean, okay, I guess, for that kind of thing. If that's what you are into."

*Shifty*

*Starts humming* "....there's no real love in you..."

"DAMMIT!"

Give up, boys. Even you can't resist the power of TH. Laughing

Someone needs to throw these comments to the faces of the fans who are complaining because TH performed the song in english Evil or Very Mad

Subject: Re: Automatic/Automatisch Singles Mon Sep 14, 2009 10:57 am

I feel lucky. I have only seen complaining about playback.

Schrei Posts : 49 Join date : 2009-09-12

You are lucky Laughing

It's just that some people obviously saw that the german fans were mostly happy with the performance and thought they had the moral obligation to feel angry in their place

Subject: Re: Automatic/Automatisch Singles Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:21 am

YAY!

Righteous misguided indignation on behalf of an entire nation (or more) is today's special! Only $9.99 with fries and a large drink!

Schrei Posts : 49 Join date : 2009-09-12

I'd say way cheaper than that...1.99$ Laughing

Alright, I went to Amazon.com and looked up Automatic on their mp3 page, and they only had "Automatic" and no "Humanoid" (or even "Automatisch"). I thought I read on the forum that there would be a 2-single version of the single (with Automatic in both German and English) and another single version with "Automatic" and "Humanoid". Is that true or am I mistaken?

There is but its not being released in america. Im not sure what Itunes will have. There is a hard copy being released in Europe and you can order that off of amazon.com as an import. Theres the 2single and the 2 single maxi with magnet. Itunes still will have automatic available to download but I dont know about humanoid or automatisch.
