What the band says: “We wanted to write songs about general vulnerability, mental turmoil and existential vulnerability, about loneliness and fear, but also about dreams and love, appropriate to the time.” What the critic says: Is it still the same band as them , who, at the beginning of her career, so heartily berated: “I don’t know why I hate you so much, cyclists in this city”?
As with the predecessor, the erratic, searching and doubting elements are missing in the texts
When it says: “Youth without God against fascism”, the obtrusive wink sounds like the text box of a pop academy. “Kasimir and Karoline against gender binary!” As one blasphemed in the social networks. The songs and music are often really good. Just not in the touching play “Never Again War”, where the moon looks down mildly on the people. As with the predecessor, the erratic, searching and doubting elements are missing in the texts. Nevertheless: “Come with me into my free world” is a liberated, cracking catchy tune, “I appear” with the wonderful soap & skin is the most romantic temptation since there have been schools in Hamburg.
