So, I had chance to hear those new songs. One of my web-mates in Germany got those tunes downloaded. Here're my comments. Leatherhead: Very uninspiring song. Lacks of melodies. Chorus is poor and repetitive. Certainly like Rammstein-song. And sounds are crap. Drum machine is back worse than ever and guitars are modern and without soul. Rock'n'roll soldiers: Main riff is quite nice. Udo's vocals sound not like Udo. Too much echo. Boring chorus again. I would say, very tired tune. Guitars sounds a little better than in Leatherhead but still not good enough. Solo is average. No power, no guts. Looks like they are out of ideas. This is like poor version of Dominator songs. What a disappointment. I don't want to hear these songs again Hmm... I'll reserve judgement until I hear it myself. In the meantime, I'll just keep taking hits from my bong filled with hope...

This is like poor version of Dominator songs. WHAAAT? Poor versions of the poorest songs I've ever heard from them? Is there a lower level than Dominator? Man, if this is true I'm not gonna buy the EP nor even the album!!! I have better places to put my money What the hell do they think? Do they believe that drum machines and plastic sound can compete with Blood of the Nations? Do they want to be washed away by ACCEPT? Man I have to work hard and have to sweat to get my wages. If .U.D.O. want me to spend my money on them they have to work hard for it.

^I would say, they're like you hit the tin can. ...Metalwarrior:....do you like the song Heavy Metal Heaven? Yes. HMH has quite lots of power. With real drums it would be really killer tune.

The problem is that the last ( not so good/mediocre) albums were a commercial success ( Well not big as BOTN but big enough for UDO). The fans should begin not to buy albums they don't like! So the band will understand they have to change their directions. I will listen to Rev Raptor! If I don't like it I will not buy it for sure!

Do they want to be washed away by ACCEPT? i'm afraid that tidal wave has already started and will hit land the day the album is released for all to hear. i hope i'm wrong though.

Well, like said before, two latest albums sold well. So why to change the concept? Probably RR will sell nicely too.
"a matter of taste" of course. But I rather listen to Animal house, Mean machine and Faceless world.
My expectations for RR are now zero. But maybe those tracks I heard are the worst songs of RR. I certainly hope so.

As for myself I didn't like the Infected EP which was to my taste different compared to Dominator. So MAYBE there are different type of songs on the album. And I do not have so much against Dominator album song wise, but the sound world is a problem and the same old drumcomputer - it doesn't sound like there is a human being drumming and that's a bad thing.

they seem to have forgotten that music is supposed to be something that is fun and touches the soul of people. you cannot have a soulless computer creating music for the soul. it just doesn't work. maybe for some people who are mindless mouth breathers who cannot think for themselves. that may work. but for metal fans, people who know what they like and why they like it, it is just crap. always has been and always will be.

If I really wanna see the bright side of these new tunes and I really force myself to find anything good in them... then I say it's Udo's voice. Not only because it's brilliant as always but because he shows some lower tones this time. He shows some new things. Maybe this is his answer to those who say that Mark has a wider range of voice - maybe not, I don't know. But he shure does some different things with his voice this time... But his voice is not enough because it seems that that is the only "natural" thing left in .U.D.O.'s music. Earlier I said this is not Metal. Now I have to say this is not music
