Europe’s
answer to emo, Tokio Hotel is a platinum-selling teen-pop band from
Germany with a penchant for heavy guitars, big choruses and
spectacular hair. Now the youthful four-some, led by the wildly
androgynous 18-year-old Bill Kaulitz, takes on America with
“Scream,” which features English versions of material
from their two studio albums, “Schrei” and
“Zimmer 483.” Tokio Hotel’s forte are
über-anthemic power ballads, delivered in a Teutonic accent
with heartbreaking sincerity (“Rescue Me,”
“Sacred”). Kaulitz’s gender-bending vocals make
“On the Edge” sound like Nena covering Nirvana and the
soaring slow dance “By Your Side,” from the movie
“Prom Night,” couldn’t be more arena-ready. Emo
kids will flock to German class when they hear the original version
of “Monsoon,” the band’s biggest hit, which
closes this strangely fascinating Euro-glam effort.
