"Tokio Hotel recorded some of their songs in English because they wanted to share their lyrics with others who might not know German... they wanted to be sure that the meaning of their songs was correctly translated. That is what this album is.
It's fantastic.
Anyone who thinks they do not like Tokio Hotel? If they hear Sacred or By Your Side is sure to be hooked"

"its defiantly different hearing it in english. I enjoyed the CD but I absolutely love the German version of all of these songs! If you're a huge fan you should have this CD. For the people who have not hear of this band or songs by them give them a listen! They have so much talent and their music is really good for a rock band."
Tokio Hotel - German/English, it's all the same

"I have both the English version of this cd and all of the songs in German, and I would just like to say that I am so glad that they came out with English. While I do love the German, sometimes it is nice to know what they're saying. Since Bill, Tom, and company helped to translate this cd themselves, I feel like it's still the same old Tokio Hotel, just in English. It really was worth it to buy the English, the slight changes in translation are interesting and it is obvious that they put some time into it. I would highly reccomend this cd to anyone who loves Tokio Hotel and people who also like it when a rock band doesn't say the F word every five seconds. A great CD and a great investment! I love this thing!"
Incredible transposition from German to English....FLAWLESS!

"I had wondered how their hits would translate into English from German, hoping the best. I wasn't disappointed. Der Wunderkinds do it again. Now you finally get the idea of what they convey, but not entirely as potent as their German brewed rock. Totally great in English with perfect rhythm, timing, and wording, but guess what? They're even better in German! I'm gonna keep buying their English -UK- (hopefully soon AMERICA release albums) but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop getting the German CDs."
Great new band

"I was a bit hesitant to get this, as the group members are all so young, but realized that was silly.
I love this cd! the first song is Scream, and it's a great way to start off the cd. After that, it's Ready Set Go, which is one of the two videos i've seen of theirs.
Monsoon, is actually a re recording of an older song of theirs, which is also included on this cd(in german). Mosoon was the first song i ever heard by them, and it's a great introduction!
There are plenty of songs to love on this. Live every second, is pretty straight forward! live! Sacred and Rescue me are both beautiful songs, and i'm in awe that a young guy like Bill had a hand in writing them.
Don't Jump: listen to it, that's all i have to say, it's so sad but a very good song you'll want to listen to over and over again.
It helps that the guys play their own instruments. And are good looking to boot, but Bll's voice is great, and the music is well worth a listen!"
