uh oh! Me writing reviews

Okay uhmm...First time i listend it today i was a bit dissapointed , hmmm wel i think i had a to high expentation of it.

It sounds diffrent than im use to hear from you guys, there a bit sing a long songs and i dont know how you call it but i would call it catchy melodys.
But after hearing it 2 times i kinda start to like it (sorry that i took so long )
My oppinion about the songs:
Change The world - Nice song! think i have to listen this song some more times to really like it cuz Simon voice sounds diffrent here its not raw but also not angried... have to get use to it i think.... (the bridge sounds cool)
Cocaine Cowboys - Well everyone heard this song, its catchy and awsome lyrics
Anarchy - okay i really like this song cuz it has cool guitar and bass riffs and Simon singin sounds great again!
Calafornia - love the way Simon sings haha Sounds almost sweet when it's so wrong and the Beat is great!
Lickin Dog - nice way to begin a song with those lyrics haha! the lyrics are really wrong but really true!
Circus - love the Guitar/Bass and drums but think the way Simon sings is weird but funny... but the Lyrics are great!)
Sin City - hmmm hard to discribe what i like about this song its catchy but also weird...
Got a reason - This is what i believe is one of those catchy Sing-a-long Songs, The Lyrics in this song are just awsome, Love the end! (If Life so dawm precious, why am i not afraid to Die)
Drinkin without you - the intro of this song is awsome, lyrics aswel i think Simons voice is diffrent in this song its not so raw in this but more softer (dont know how to explain )
Snakes in Paradise - This is Really my Favourite cuz of the lyrics and love the beat, simon sounds really dark in this song, but the lyrics are So Genious!
Damaged kid - The Lyrics are just awsome, but for some reason i dont think the Lyrics and beat fit together well
Excited - love the lyrics and the beat and the backingvocals in this song really sounds great! And i think the backingvocal really completed the song!
Garden of Babylon - Genious song! everything is perfect in this song, i even wanted to scream along in the chores and theres a moment i thought the song was over the first time and than Simon started again haha genious:lol:

I really love the Lyrics of this new Album and there are a lot of guitar/bass playing on the album that just sounds awsome!
Nice job !

I just want to take the opportunity to say how deeply touched I am by this album. I don't know if it also because I thought you guys couldn't do that anymore because I couldn't imagine timing would ever fit again, but it happened. There are some things I could be negative about, but the moments that stun me totally blend that out.
There are just moments where I feel like somone picked memories and thoughts and feelings out of my head and put them in a song with exactly the right tone and pace, and that really makes me feel alot less alienated, and that is such a nice change for me.

I don't know. I really can't put this in words, just besides all this forum action and gettung in touch with people that I got from all this streetteam stuff, this is really what it is about...

just thank you I guess.
I suck at expressing this.

Your not the only one, i did like more than a houre about writing a review, it hard to express in words, how i felt this album sounds like... its really difficult to explain so i just wrote what my first thoughts were... But the Album is really nice...! really great job boys!!!

also the the Lyrics are really awsome (can say that like a million times! just love them!)

Can album be listened from somewhere..?

No, Chardonaytje simply got it yesterday already - the post once did theirn service like they are supposed to

not yet, but it seems some albums are arriving already on some places

ahh too bad that i havent got my yet, well no matter, its always worth the wait.

Got The Savage Playground today, right in time for my b-day next week. After the first round with my beloved Ultimate Ears inears I was blasted away. Got up and dressed (haha) and put in on the speakers this time. Chopping veggies and meat to that beat is really a treat *G*

After the second time through I put it on loop. I love this album. It’s beautiful, it's dark, it’s raw, it’s hard, it’s nasty and most of all it’s downright fucking brutally honest. The live recording pays off big time. I’m not a musician and actually rather tone deaf so I won’t go into guitar riffs and stuff except to say I love those riffs to pieces. Not to talk about Simme's voice - the rougher the better if you ask me.

My favourite is definitely Garden of Babylon – it makes that dark streak in me strum like a steel feather. And those oriental streaks are pure genius. It’s closely followed by Snakes in Paradise and Change the World. Those lyrics speak to me in tones that vibrate in my bones (oops, rhyming again – bad sign, better run for cover everybody *G*).

To sum it up: BLOODY FUCKING AWESOME!!!

I can't wait to hear it!!!!!! So EXCITED!!!!

The album isnt even out yet is it?

Anyway. I think ill enjoy this album cause i havent had any hype for it like i did previous albums. So i think ill be able to listen to the album without high expectations. Also the good thing is this year we get a new album from Crashdiet AND HCSS. Two bands long overdue for new albums!

hey there, long time no see
it's not "Out" yet, but they started shipping so early it arrived to some places already
I think I remember you really liked gemini 5, right?
if you still do I think you'll enjoy this one
