I really like the colorful artwork of the record; it looks great. Since the trend is currently leaning heavily towards "black and white," this stands out a bit.
But now, let's get to the content of the record: BETONTOD want to dance in the water cannon with us once again, because only then can the dream of freedom come true. That's already a cool message, and the title track is one of the hits of this album for me. A really great punk anthem! I also find the video on YouTube successful, not just because of the good lesbian scene between the policewoman and the protest participant, har har har :p
The metal influence, which I especially liked on the record SCHWARZES BLUT, remains present in BETONTOD, which they impressively demonstrate with the song "Flügel aus Stahl." The awesome dual guitar harmonies give me goosebumps as a MAIDEN fan. Somehow, I’m reminded of the song "The Trooper" ;-) The piece has real power and is my favorite song on this album. It turned out really great, and I hope for more of that.
Overall, the record also has a lot of pop influence with some "Oh and Ah songs," which might not appeal to those who prefer it grittier. Fortunately, this is regularly lightened up by awesome metal breaks, and the guitar and drum work on the album is really fat!!! For my part, it could have gone even more in this harder direction ;-) If you liked SCHWARZES BLUT, you can grab this one without hesitation, although for me, this album can't top it!
