5.0 out of 5 stars
backtrack to the 90s...., June 6, 2008
Scooter as any other band greatly depends on each individual's appreciation factor. [...]
I will not go to the lengths of debating whether "...Because here's the secret; people who buy Scooter records are IDIOTS..." is a proper /valid statement. What I will say is this - for me this was a backtrack to the teen years. I happened to like it than and have a soft spot for it now. And when i do want to feel nostalgic I have higher quality bigger, and better speakers now. :)
As far as to Curmudgeon's comments go - too bad you have to reserve to calling other people "idiots" because their taste might disagree with yours. If you have nothing useful to say - stop insulting others, especially in the public forum.
Just to throw some numbers there to counter the intelligence burst by Curmudgeon
Scooter was dominating the charts for a long time - they
Sold over 14 million records + internet piracy
Have earned 80 gold and platinum awards
Are considered the most successful single-record German act with 20 top ten hits on their résumé
top 20 UK singles in 2002-2006
...And the list goes on...
So there are some 14 million people at the very least that like what they hear.

Jump all over this CD., May 7, 2008
Dear God, what did we do to deserve Scooter? What terrible deed has modern man committed to bring on this terrible wrath; an onslaught from a band that, by all that is good and holy, should surely have been a one-hit wonder, but instead have survived and bombarded us with track after track that ALL SOUND THE SAME.
Let me explain, to those blessed few who have escaped the tone-deaf dirge that is a Scooter song. Scooter are, shudder, a German techno band, and there are basically two songs that this lot have (if you don't count the unintentional hilarity of the slow "rock" song "I Was Made For Loving You Baby", where the singer walks around with a guitar, pretending he even knows what one is. He might as well be carrying a surf board). Anyway, there is the Standard Scooter Song - that being a repetitive, heavy beat with the singer basically shouting random things for three minutes. Then there is the Sampled Scooter Song (something that has seen them gain some success in the UK), and that is a repetitive, heavy beat with the singer basically shouting random things... with a chorus from an old song shoved in but with the vocals replaced with something you'd get from sucking a helium balloon.
And that, my friends, is IT. If you don't believe me, check out their videos on the net. You almost expect to see the singer blushing as he churns out the same identikit drivel time and time again and still getting away with it after all these years. Yes, the singer is beginning to look a bit like a wax droid nowadays, but the formula, and the songs, are still exactly the same.
But HOW do Scooter get away with it? Surely someone, somewhere must have realised that this talentless band of chancers have flogged their one trick ponies to death? Surely someone who buys Scooter records must have caught on by now? Well, see, there in lies the problem.
Because here's the secret; people who buy Scooter records are IDIOTS.
Take a listen to some of their songs. Are you telling me there's someone with intelligence listening to that? Are you telling me that someone who actually likes MUSIC would own a Scooter record? Or have you, like me, come to the conclusion that Scooter can peddle the same garbage year in, year out, because the people who listen to it are either pilled out their empty heads or too stupid to realise they're being fooled in the first place?
That people are still listening to this instantly dated trash in the year 2008 is beyond depressing. Pray the Curse of Scooter is lifted soon.
