Short intro

Rocket Science is a studio album from Apoptygma Berzerk. It follows the same path of synth-rock trends as the band's last album You and Me Against the World. The first single was Apollo Live On Your TV followed by Green Queen. It was also their final album on Gun Records, released one week before the label ceased operating. The album's theme is heavily influenced by the novel 1984 by George Orwell, as well as various conspiracy theories and The Matrix movies. The album's lyrics reflect Stephan's.

Rocket Science is what it is. Either you hate it completely, or you adore it completely, there's nothing in between. I am not going to blame anyone but I see that this album makes it really hard for reviewers to stay objective. People have really flamed this album for what it is.
While Rocket Science clearly takes another step into the alternative rock direction that started with YAMATW, there is a lot more here beyond just another indie rock album.
Rocket Science is an album to get lost in, like a deep forest with lots of various paths. Rocket Science is an album that shows you the paths, but doesn't tell you to follow them. It's an album that, if you look beyond the surface, opens a lot of new doors for you, giving you the choice if you want to go through them or not.
A lot of people judge Apoptygma by their current style but seems to forget looking at the actual message. I don't think those who can't stand Rocket Science really get what Apop is really about. It's not the music, but the message. And the message is stronger than ever on this album.
It seems like every time Apop release a new album, people initially flame it to hell, but after a time it grows on people.
What is my personal opinion? That Rocket Science is a masterpiece. The depth of the material and the amount of detail put into the album is just breath-taking. The whole album is littered with hidden meanings and symbols, as I said, paths you can follow.
If you look beyond Rocket Science's indie rock exterior, you'll find that it's a very personal album, probably Stephan's most personal album so far, it gives a whole new perspective on the world if you are open for it.
If you prefer the older Apop and need a futurepop fix, don't buy this album. If you don't mind that Apop do what they want and aren't bound by limitations or formulas, get this.
I have seen a lot of people who are quick to jump the hate-wagon and saying that Apop are becoming too mainstream. I just keep asking myself why that is such a big issue, because obviously this is a very deep and meaningful album, and very personal.

Apoptygma Berzerk continue to evolve. This album continues the more "rock" based song structures a'la their previous album (You and Me Against The World). The electronic sounds are pushed back in the mix a bit more, and are at times more electro / retro ish. Plenty of catchy choruses done as only apop can. The first single from the album was "Apollo (Live on Your TV)".

Full marks for following their instincts, and pushing the creative envelope how they want to.

Cripes! where does one begin to review this ABSOLUTE train wreck called 'Rocket Science'? Mr. Groth seems to think that electroclash is the way to go after forsaking his EBM roots for this rubbish, weak vocals, cheesy synths and dumb lyrics. It's worse then any of that 'Fairlight Children' crap he put out a couple of years ago. After listening to this 'You and Me Against the World' seems like a classic! This is clearly the end of Apop for me from this point onward.
