Entertainment Weekly - "...Hopscotching from whirring rave pieces to routine dance rock...this is worth hearing for a sci-fi collabo with Kelis and 'Shifter,' the sound of Eurotrash getting down." - Rating: B Q - Included in Q Magazine's "The 50 Best Albums of 2002." Q - 4 stars out of 5 - "...If not a direct challenge to dance's incresingly moribund big guns then it's certainly enough to leave them feeling sllightly nervous..."

'Loud' is the debut album of original material by the German DJ, Timo Maas. It follows his two mix compilations - 'Music For The Maases' and 'Connected' - and numerous 12" single releases. The top 20 single, 'To Get Down', is included.|

絶好調の“To Get Down”を含む待望のオリジナル・ファースト・アルバム。フィンリー・クウェイやケリスのヴォーカル参加に加え、ジャケへの心遣いも功を奏してすでにヒット中だ。欧州を中心にケミカル・ブラザーズ的な幅広い支持を得ている彼だが、ジャーマン・トランスの流れを汲む暗い雰囲気といい下品さといい、バカ売れしたら逆にどんどんおもしろくなるタイプの人なのでは?　だからもっと売れて!
