The riffs are horribly uninteresting and of the heard-it-a-million-times-already sort, even most of the vocal lines are the epitome of stereotypical. Even their best songs and greatest hits mostly suffer in the verses and only flourish in the anthemic choruses. This terrible tendency mostly characteristic of label-bred pop bands has always haunted Guano Apes - they just can't write more than a few good songs for a whole album. But if one plays stubborn, one could say that this first song is where the fun of this album ends. The fantastic opener "You Can't Stop Me" stands out a class above the second best song on this album, it's a hit single very akin to "Open Your Eyes" and "No Speech" from their previous two works. The funny thing is that everything I could say about this record also applies to the band's previous two - namely the fact that it contains a few great songs drowned in many more that are less than great. Sandra doesn't spare her vocal cords on the record and is one of the strongest reasons for listening to this album and the band overall. It feels just like a copy of 2000's "Don't Give Me Names" - an album with good ideas countable on the fingers of a single hand drowned in a lake of mediocrity.įor those unfamiliar with the band, their singer is the fantastic Sandra Nasić, a girl possessed of a very unique and versatile voice which at most times is harsh and somewhat androgynous, yet capable of womanly warmth and delicacy when the need arises. It's unfortunate that being their third album it contains no development at all from the previous two. "Walking On A Thin Line" is their third album and it was the first one I've listened to. And that's a pretty accurate description. Guano Apes are a very fun band from Germany, playing a very endearing brand of hard rock/metal that has earned a moniker "skateboard metal" in some circles.
