Timo Maas's remix of Azzido Da Bass's Doom's Night brought him fame and 2000's Music for the Maases brought him acclaim, but Loud establishes the Dusseldorf DJ as the Teutonic master of the dance floor. Matching the ferociousness and accessibility of Thriller with the warped sonics of Dig Your Own Hole, Maas creates a doom-laced, freak-beat ultraworld. While 4/4 is still the message, Maas matches surreal sounds with alienated dialogues, sultry vocals, and a song-oriented approach, giving Loud its irresistible, codeine-like buzz. "Help Me" begins with the sound of grinding gears followed by campy effects and Kelis's breathy vocal. Bits of downtempo and electro in the form of "Hash Driven" and "Shifter" ratchet up a sense of gleeful foreboding; "That's How I've Been Dancing" recalls KC and the Sunshine Band entertaining a Nuremberg rally. "We Are Nothing" could be a Trainspotting outtake, smarmy dialogue adorning a bubbling dance track. Loud closes with "Bad Days," a gentle way to end a weirdly wonderful album. --Ken Micallef

 It Still Rocks November 2, 2008
Morten Lokkegaard (Sao Paulo Brazil)
With more than 7 years having passed since the album was out and more than 2 years since the last review I cant but say that this album still rocks and is as present as it was back then.
It is one of the few dance albums (or any genre for that matter) where all tracks are worth listening to i.e. no 'filler' at all on this one.
My favorite remains 'We Are Nothing' even though it is among many candidates.
It is one of my top5 dance albums of all time and I expect it to be still in another 7 years. If you dont have it, it is a must buy for your collection.
Fantastic grooves. August 15, 2006

i don't know why this album is receiving anything other than 4 stars and above. The grooves within everysong are intoxicating as well as the attitude. Timo Maas is an excellent groove/percussion oriented producer.

I love that first track Help Me and found where the sample came from.Its in the film The Day The Earth Stood Still. (...) Classic film with a classic soundtrack. Love this Timo Mass rendition. I have listened to it on repeat for hours.
 You'll Either Love It or Hate It March 9, 2004

This is definitely an album that you'll either love or totally hate. For me, it was the later. I find the never-ending repetitious beats obnoxious and incessantly uncreative. The only thing I found interesting in the least was "To Get Down" from which the words "What Goes Around" were changed to "Here Comes the Ram" for a series of Dodge truck TV commercials. It was interesting for a few seconds. I marvel at how one reviewer of this album remarked, nearly as soon as this album came out, "You can just see this one being used for various television soundtracks..." Obviously, he hit it on the money with a commercial at least. Personally, I think the techno riffs are at best decent for a low-budget Sci-Fi flick. There is much better music out there to blow your money on.

Especially to the one who said Oaky's cd was better, here's a little heads up, Oaky doesn't write his own tracks and if you had two bits of knowledge about electronica, (rather than what you gathered from somewhere) you'd know that.Incidentally, I heard Timo Maas for the first time on an Oakenfold live mix set of Radio One in 1998, he was playing Ubik (The Dance) of which you'll find the breaks remix out (sadly no Techno remix :( like there was on the vinyl). Help Me, and To Get Down were out long before the album release, and had everyone in the world playing them. Funny enough, I've just gotten around to hearing the rest of the cd and it's definetly worth a listen just b/c it does NOT follow the normal 4/4 beat pattern (maybe time scale but definetly not a constant, consistent drum kick). And also, my last attack is on the person who said Timo's drums needed help. My friend, he does not write trance; your saying that does no credit to your knowledge of the electronic genre. You might as well go back to calling all electronic techno. Everyone knows the greatest thing about "The Dance when it hit in 98' was the DRUM. I agree his remix of Azzida blew him up out the water in terms of popularity (catchy little bugger), but Ubik is in fact and in my opinion the hallmark of Timo. He's still keeping it real.
