Stupid timing: The Sportfreunde Stiller have created such a beautiful monument to the football legend Zlatan Ibrahimović on their new album EVERYONE ONLY ONE X, not at all unhappily upvoted him as a trump card that you have in hand when horror clowns and hurricanes frighten you – the idiot lets himself be photographed with Berlusconi. Of course, it would be easy to smirk a bit about this band, which doesn’t really care about subtleties and timing anyway.

About their singer, who is called Rüdiger Linhof, but calls himself “Rüde” and sings less, but rather became famous for calling out his lyrics about love, friendship and penalty kicks in the same pitch to the Rock-im-Park audience. With their World Cup manifesto “54, 74, 90, 2006” the Sportfreunde Stiller were the frog princes in the summer fairy tale, with their love song “Ein Compliment” they supplied an entire generation with text modules for clumsy text messages to the middle school crush.
Yes, that’s all silly
Now “the Sportis”, as they are somehow still called, have long since grown up, but even on their eighth album they can’t decide whether they want to grow old as a state-supporting stadium rock group or a nonsense band. So they try their way once more through large-scale hall punk, hip-tight electro rock and off-beat songs that groove like a man’s day at the quarry pond, while the eternal male grönemeyer tells something about being and remaining human, sometimes affably asks the world: “Look, look, look, this is spectacular”.
Yes, that’s all silly. But most of us haven’t aged that much more gracefully since middle school, either. The Sportfreunde Stiller at least earn good money by making people happy in precisely those moments when they become aware of this fact. So this band isn’t stupid at all, probably even extremely clever. In any case, smarter than Zlatan Ibrahimović.
