Steady Now (Audio CD)

Customer Review

This album ignites only gradually with me. My problem: On "Steady now," Herbert Grönemeyer presents Although as a singer, but hardly as a musician, but more as a poet, a poet, as a poet, in which the texts for miles before the music maneuver - also produces the sound. The singing is as much in the foreground that you think you have inserted an audio book. The "rails" Text and music are so far apart that it seems like a happy accident, but when they come together once. Depends on the "soft" on, as with the single "Tomorrow" (the radio oddly sounds better than in the context of the album). In almost every respect, the absence of such a switch creates a gap that makes it impossible for me to see Grönemeyer's latest collection poems set to music as a homogeneous whole, and to find the total package well.
First, all that sounded in my ears over ambitious lyrically, to the relentless hunt for word construction too often annoying and especially much too far away from the common people ("I do not know what Herbert wants to tell me!"). This especially the ballads act with a lot of piano and Synclavier strangely cold and artificial (nadir: "Underground"). That's no good, because contemplative sounds are "now Constantly" well represented at. From which stands out "fire light" clear out, because it immediately arrives with me, directly and without any detours. The other run past me, even though they are not bad. The worst part: The synthetic rhythms the whole disk seems unapproachable. The music simply lacks the warmth! A real drum here and there would have worked wonders! And words like "boring", "boring" or "insignificant" would be me might not even come to mind.
In addition to the kick-off "Tomorrow" provides the relative rocking "Wonderful emptiness" of vital impulses. Here is finally a real guitar sound. For a short, edgy moment even comes to something like band Feeling. Of the other songs many will awaken only live by the enthusiastic audience to life, most notably "The Loew", on its text divorced rightly the spirits. Sure, a rocker was Herbert at least on board despite "Music Only If It's Loud" anyway never, but a bit more momentum it should have been. The missing irrevocably, but I now know how the music sounds of a man who has arrived at himself. Cold comfort.
Speaking of puns: If someone has a cousin in the army, which is then a military base? Oh wonderful emptiness ...
PS: The online magazine has musikansich.de for "Steady now," selected as the style description "Voiced Poetry". This is true that here offered in my opinion very good.
