Ok, first off this is a great album. Its a really tough roller coaster with all sorts of turns and twists. Now out of a rating scale I give it a 9. but then of course I also don't believe this album will be for everyone. I really enjoyed this album because it felt to me that H.P. vocals were top notch and harder then he has been before. The instrumentals (3 total) were good, however nowhere near as good as the ones from the last two cd's.But then again the album still rocks. So after 10 years of making great music, Scooter once again show that they still got it. And that is a great thing

Yo this c.d is sick, I bought one of their albums and was hooked on it but now hearing this album I was f*****g blown away trust me this is a must have for any true techno fan!!!!!!

this is to all fans and dance fanatics alike. i read the review at the top of this section from the person who gave a bad review of scooter. any scooter fan can tell you what scooter are all about, for those who dont know allow me to tell you. since the day they started they have been well known for there abilaty to remix any song and make it fantastic (e.g. the logical song). they create there own songs or remix other traks, either way they do it good. the latest album 'whos got the last laugh now' has got some great tunes on it with some definate scooter feel to it , at times you get classic feels to a track and even modern feels. more to the point it is a great album that will send chills down your spine, its thanks to this album the latest live tour is released also offering a mind blowing experiance this is a must have album for all fans and other dance fans you will love this album.

This CD is my favorite album of all time! From beginning to end it is a non-stop techno-fest!! Every track is solid gold. Buy it! You will not regret it!!

I LISTENED THIS ALBUM ALL WEEK LONG. I AM LISTENING IT NOW OVER AND OVER. I AM GOING TO LISTEN IT AGAIN AND AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

Apparently Scooter does, because they're making lots of money off of their worst album ever!

Scooter has created some absolutely amazing albums in the past, all way ahead of their time like "Wicked!", "The Age of Love" and "Back to the Heavyweight Jam". Since Jay Frog joined the band to replace Axel Coon in 2002, the band has lost its touch. Yes, obviously somehow, with Jay Frog they created one of their best albums ever, "The Stadium Techno Experience", but it's only gone downhill from there. The only good song since that album has been One (Always Hardcore). This album seems to be geared more towards commercialism, plagiarizing A LOT from bad pop songs. There is little creativity in this album compared to others.

LIGHTS OUT: This is a total rip-off of Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project. It's just an electronic version with a woman singing notes.

HELLO! (GOOD TO BE BACK): This is the only good song on the album. This is a rip-off of the Gary Glitter song with an interesting techno melody in the middle. It's a good pump-up song. But seriously, it's the only good song on the album.

PRIVELEGED TO WITNESS: Remember "Walking on the Moon" by The Police? Yes, you guessed it: they use a high-pitched vocal to copy the exact same melody and lyrics for this song, with some daft lyrics MC'd by frontman H.P. Baxxter.

ROCK BOTTOM: This song is stolen from one of Scooter's own songs, Maria. It employs the "dub-dub" technique, except much more boring. No excitement in this song.

THE LEADING HORSE: The Leading Horse is taken from two pop songs. The rhythm is based off of a 50 Cent song, while the high-pitched vocals melody is based off of The Four Horsemen by Axxis. It's a rap song, basically. Not even techno. Dreadful.

TAKE ME BABY: This song is so stupid I can't believe that Scooter would stoop to this level. The lyrics are extremely sappy and pop-song-esque. Not to mention that it's just plain boring. Maybe the bit in the middle is OK but the refrain is sung really badly by H.P.

APACHE: Gee, I wonder where this song is from! How about "Apache" by The Ventures? This is an instrumental song that copies and pastes the guitar riffs from the original song into the Scooter song.

SEE ME, FEEL ME: So, this song starts out with the high-pitched vocals by saying "See me feel hear me love me touch me". That should tell you something immediately. The B-section of this song is somewhat decent, but that's all that there is worth listening to.

UNITY WITHOUT WORDS, PT. 3: The percussion opening of this song is way too long. This trance song, unlike many of their others is just way too repetitive. Unlike "Level One", "Rhapsody in E", or "R U :-)?" this song just lacks the creativity that others didn't.

EVERLASTING LOVE: This song is lifted from the 1987 "Everlasting Love" by Sandra. There is a second-hand of a clock ticking throughout a lot of the song, which is kind of odd. However, the piano heard on the original song is just like the original song, and once again, we have the high-pitched vocals singing the same cheesy lyrics as the original as well.

SEVEN BRIDGES: Once again, we have silly lyrics by H.P. Baxxter again, with a repetitive bass. This song has piano interludes that sound like they're from some bad pop song, with the fake crowd singing along "la-la" style in the background.

MESMERIZED: This song isn't too bad; it has a nice melody, but it just takes a long time to get there and requires a lot of patience by the listener. It has an odd sort of electro-jazz-fusion-techno bit in the middle, with some electronic female voice repeating something incomprehensible.

Perhaps this review is a bit cynical, but the truth is that with the exception of "Hello!" this album is NOT worth your money. More than half of the songs are rip-offs of other songs not by Scooter. I really hope Scooter doesn't continue to go downhill. Maybe it is the addition of Jay Frog - who knows? It could also be that they're just finished creating good songs. It would be a shame to see such talent go to waste.

This is one of scooter's best albums not sure if it tops stadium techno experience YET! but it is deffinetly amazing. Buy IT if you like fast music with a heavy beat.

Hey, I'm a big Scooter fan, first off. I have a few of their singles, several of their albums, and I really like their style, and their live shows are crazy (can anyone say... Techno-Motley Crue?!), but of all their albums, I don't think this one has the power, or feel that their past few releases really radiated.
There are a few gems in this one, for sure, but when you compare them to "Faster, Harder, Scooter," "Nessaja," "Ramp! (The Logical Song)," "Jigga Jigga!," and "Like Hypa Said," this album just can't compete with their earlier work. One track sounds like a ripoff of Maria, and the rest are beat heavy, and HP-driven (much like the stuff in "We Bring The Noise!"), and while that's cool in older albums, these guys have proven their mad skills with blending hands up trance and powerful lyrics together in their more recent materials. They should be able to springboard forward from their new stuff, not retrogress into an older, and simpler style. There are a few rave and dance gems here (Hello Good To Be Back) for sure!), but not the same power and feel of their materials from "The Stadium Techno Experience," or "Pushing The Beat: The Best of Scooter." You can buy this if you like, but you might be wiser to save your money for the next release, and see if that's a more interesting collection. Peace out.

Sorry Scooter, but with this album you've proved that you're not always hardcore.
