If there’s one record (yes, record => as in vinyl) that has left me perplexed, it’s the sixth album by Kai, Holger, Timo, and Mutti, also known as DIE BILANZ! As the info sheet beautifully states: "The four Hannoverians have been cooking their own little soup since 1998", and I can only agree. And in these soups, anything is possible; there simply isn’t a substantial music genre among the 14 songs, which confuses me. In the nearly 30 minutes of the LP, a lot is thrown together, like a soup being handled by a dozen cooks. The album starts with a song in the style of KASSIERER, moves through FRAU SUURBIER with rockabilly and country music to light punk rock, and then ends with more or less rock-oriented children’s songs (!) on both vinyl sides.
Somehow, it’s already conceptless, and whether this conceptless concept can work out, I find questionable. At least in this form, I can’t make much of it; it would look different if I were to judge the individual songs separately. Some of them are quite good, from the song structure to the very well played and to-the-point instruments to the lyrics. However, as mentioned, that’s not always the case. And so, the "Rock´n´Roll Klub Schmöke" album falls more or less flat for me.
My usual bonus point for the fact that this album comes as a vinyl record plus download code to pull the songs digitally from the net is not applicable this time!
However, there is an additional point for the good layout including a text sheet in vinyl size; yes, I like that!!!
