In the last three years, the band has had to cope with lineup changes but also played a tour in Brazil. In short, they have experienced highs and lows.
The digipack comes in a classy glossy print, making it a visual and tactile delight. Additionally, there is a thick booklet with all the lyrics and beautiful photos of the band members. Such elaborate packaging has become rare and raises hopes for a similarly high-quality product.
The band's sound has not changed much despite the lineup changes. There is still very danceable ska and 2-tone. Perhaps a bit more ska-pop has flowed into the songs, which is not a negative thing.
What has remained is the sense for melodies. The band plays together on the album as if they have been doing so for years. And Kay Natusch's vocals still strongly remind one of The Busters.
What stands out are the German-language songs “Hätte, Hätte“ and “Am Strand“. Even the spiteful children's singing at the beginning of “Hätte, Hätte“ makes one grin. The whole song continues in this vein. A mischievous, fatalistic song that is perfect for warm dancing. And the lyrics bring a grin to one's face more than once. And for those who want to relax a bit after dancing, they should listen to “Am Strand“ and perhaps roll a herbal cigarette. The song is beautifully chill.
Overall, it can be said that the album flows well. Fourteen songs, including two bonus tracks, are at a high level, but do not contain any surprises.
A fundamentally good album.
