Good, but nothing new

So, the new album from Schandmaul is out. After the great jubilee in 2008 and the hiatus expectations are certainly not low. After listening three times I can say that the instrumental implementation is really great, with every intro awaits you excited to see what comes, much is also certain danceable. Even Thomas's voice is getting better (even better :-)). With the lyrics I can, however, already for a long time no longer befriend, the stories are not finished, remain wage, have little to do with correct myths or the Middle Ages. Some rhyme I get the creeps (shadow, which "catch"). The wit and irony are almost completely disappeared from the texts. Also I just do not a title, in the I fall spontaneously, there were the usual on every album.
"Traumtänzer" is certainly not a bad album, but not a particularly The striking.
