The new album is far too commercial for the real 'Guano Apes' of 10 years ago. At that time Sandra's voice would be appreciated for its peculiarity and for being full of rage, it could be distinguished among aa thousand billion other voices. In this new album, it's not more than a clean, beautiful voice, like all the ones that commercial discography gives birth to. Surely it's an evolution, like in every band which happenes to have a stop for a few years. But this album is a new genre music, an hybrid voice and already-heard music. I'll be in Milan for Oct 24 because I love Guano Apes anyway, but at least you have to give us reason for this change. I hope you'll do some old songs there in Milan.
bye bye

Das Album "Bel Air" ist der Absolute Mega Hammer, ok es ist mal was anderes als z.B. Lords of the Boards oder Can´t Stop me, Big in Japan, Open your eyes etc. ...... aber das neue Album ist trotzdem sehr schön^^ war gestern in Berlin inner Columbiahalle bei eurem Konzi, Genial !!!!

LOVE the new album. Every song is great. Yes a bit more commercial than earlier stuff, but they've evolved. Discovered them while in Prague 8 years ago - Wish they come to LA and play!

Hi!

You have an amazig voice Sandra, but these songs are not give back, i mean you singing just a half, how you can.
The new album is not bad if somebody like commercial music, but it is truly not the GUANO APES!!!

If the new way is stay this style, change the band name. You can get new fans and not anger the old ones.

That is, a continuation of a solo album Sandra?
I did not like the album. Proud Like A God - Best!

I think its very good album. It's very mature cd album. "Fanman" the best song!

The album is really very good, but WAY, WAY TOO MELLOW. I miss riffs like the opening to Counting the Days, verses like the one in Innocent Greed, choruses like the one in Gogan and bridges like the one in Scratch the Pitch (my favorite). Other than that, ALL the songs are really good, the incredible vocal lines are there (the verse in Tiger, the choruses in Fire In Your Eyes and Trust), even though Sandra rarely sings harsh.
I see a lot of different people were involved in the mixing of the album, but I really love the sound of the drums, it's heavy/groovy and tight at the same time. Another thing that bothers me is too much SKA beat, but that's just my taste.
Overall, it's a really good comeback album, I recommend it 100%, just hope the next one is gonna be somewhat heavier.
