"All of the rudder" marked a turning point in the band's history. With "Beinhart" Torfrock was the strong presence in the media now to a larger audience outside of northern Germany interesting (made). And that manifested itself undoubtedly also in the music itself. In earlier times, Torfrock always presented a small audience, the songs were quite simple knit and presented mostly in a rather amateurish acting robe. The humor was still in first class North German, the texts flippant and shrewd, the themes of Heart refreshing irrelevance. "All at the helm" of course, is still unmistakably Torfrock, but the music is guitar driven, electronic and overall more professional. That's good, you want to use Torfrock for entertainment at parties and paying attention to danceable. Less good it is, you look for the old flair of the 'combo of the land', that has managed splendidly to set the flat-style North German joke with a good Protion irony's most precious scene. Songs like "drunkard", "Jimmy and the Sea" and "Beinhart" are certainly calculated to achieve a wide range of audience, are in the ground but rather boring. The real highlights as "piercing the peat you ..." and "The Vikings" are rather rare - but here the new professionalism does not detract from the atmosphere!
