    While Tokio Hotel may not have matured enough to hang with the big boys yet, they are most certainly the dark horses pacing up and down the Disney fringe.

    Humanoid is no less appealingly shiny than its 2007 stateside debut, "Scream." But with the exception of the song 'Automatic,' an instantly catchy chunk of bubble-grunge perfection, it does have fewer killer melodies, which allows more of your brain to focus on Kaulitz's lyrics.

While it, like its' predecessor, continues to be unable to beat 2007's "Zimmer 483", it certainly comes closer than "Scream" in doing so. From start to finish it is an epic saga, covering soft, touching songs like "Zoom Into Me" which appears later on in the album, and epic rock ballads such as "Noise" and "Screamin'", which, respectively, open and close the deluxe edition of the album. Lyrically the album isn't in any sense of the word bad, in fact it's very adequate for a German-to-English translation, however what has improved in instrumental skill and sound has been lost slightly in lyrical ability compared to "Humanoid"'s predecessor. Nonetheless, the album is a perfect example of how Tokio Hotel's general sound and ability have matured over the past three years. It doesn't pull any punches and it certainly doesn't lose any gas from start to finish. A perfect 10/10 despite the few flaws that it does have.
