5.0 out of 5 stars great songs for every taste, July 14, 2002

Though I love Modern Talking so much, but I usually try to put my emotions aside when evaluating their albums. Since thier return and the incredible huge success of their album 'Back for Good" in 1998, which made it one of the best selling albums in history (over 20 million copies sold), Modern Talking have slightly lost their unique magic touch in their abums since then. I never mean they're bad, but they're not as good as the unbelievable songs from 80s. 'Alone', 'Year of the Dragon, and 'America' have very wonderful songs, but on the other hand, they have some bad songs ( really not expected from Modern Talking). Starting to lose faith in another creation from Modern Talking, this new abum has done it. It brought the creation that even many famous singers have been looking for it in vain.

Moving from different styles, from different lyrics, and from beats makes this album so unique in its quality. A european disco style such as in 'higher than heaven', 'gonna be strong', 'when the sky rained fire' and 'love to love you' adds the flavour of what the best european songs can be. Romantic songs such as 'don't make me blue (sooooo wonderful) , "you're not Liza" (soooooo sad)and "Blue eyed, colouered girl" can easily bring the tears to your eyes. They're not just songs. They can remind you of an old, lost or new love. An American disco style from 70s is also availabe in the song "Juliet". So far, the best disco songs I've ever heard in so many years. Alone, it's worth the price of the album. I'm not exaggerating at all if I can say I can't imagine a person who likes disco dancing without it. Wether you can dance or not, when you play it, you'll find yourself dancing. Though there's no rap in this album, but actually there's a faint rap back up which gives 'Summer to remember' a very good mixture with a pop style. This song is really wonderful. I can say it's the song of this summer. Songs like 'ready to victory' and 'ten seconds to countdown' are so good for the people who drive fast cars. The first one is produced to bew the official song for Formula 1 in Germeny. Now comes the most incredible song 'Mrs Robota' I've ever listened to. This song has a very interesting topic that no other songs deal with, which is love between a man and a female robot in the internet. (some might interpret it differently). With such a topic, wonderful lyrics and beautiful beat, it's simply the best song in this album according to my taste.

No matter what I said, you won't know why I said it until you buy it and listen to its quality. Believe me, you won't waste your money for only a song or three as you always do for other singers. All the songs are so wonderful, and you'll find your hand not moving to forward any song.

AS allways there are many opinions about a new M.T. album. I guess first of all I have point out that MOdern Talkign is trying to stand out with it's name to be a creator of a new sound. Even tough Dieter has not borought anything new since the comeback as far as the sound is concerned, on the other had he is trying to make each to album sound a little Different. Why would one want to have every album the same sound. sounds boring to me. I have allready got used to the idea that Dieter Bohlen wil never write lyrics that will make much sense soI wil not even say anything about that. On the other hand I hear lots of new sounds for Modern Talking. I very much appreciate hearing something new. Even some of my friends who don'y care for Modern Talkig though that "JULIET" was a great new effort to refresh the M.T. sound. I myself think that that is the best song of the album and I gues the best ballad would be "IF I....". But For me this album has most possible chart topping hits hits. I 'm sorry to hear about the trouble with playback on car stereos. I myself own a 2001 Chevy silverado truck with factory installed cd player. It plays just fine. The only thing that i have noticed is that it takes 2 or 3 seconds longer before I hear the first track. But otherwise plays just like any other cd. I understand the ammount of Pirate coppies that are made in Russia. But I don't think that will stop them. This device will protect regular home cd or computer burners from copying. I love this album and I hope that we can have more cd remix releases, because this album deserves it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good album with one song everyone should hear, May 19, 2005

"VICTORY" has one song I would like to draw your attention on, because it is remarkable: "Mrs. Robota".
No time is wasted, a few tacts and off you go. No tough techno beats, but delicate mid-tempo drive.
No gimmick overload, but a sensitive, very sympathetic arrangement, reflecting the chilly silence of a lost night surfing the web for cyberpleasure. Please wait for the second verse and notice the piano toeing Thomas' voice. This is authentic MT-style. The bridge tightens the drive, and then you lift off to a catchy sing-along chorus, light as a feather. A "well done" for the lyrics this time.
Songs like this made MT unparalleled mega-sellers. Though it appears to be simple, it's got excellent timing, wonderful melody, unique singing and that little extra that has inspired millions of listeners since MT started their career.
But VICTORY has got more: "Juliet" is already legendary, and many songs on this album will be a surprise.
