This record makes me young and happy

No German band has numerous WG and hour Duck parties of my youth so marked as the Fanta. And it may sound like an exaggeration, but I think that no other band has so contributed to the musical self-confidence of my generation, as the four boys from Stuttgart. But over the years I had lost contact with the band anyway. Although the new stuff sounded pretty good (some very good), but have really gripped with the Fantas for '4:99' no longer. Probably is that connected with my advancing age and my musical development. Tastes change just.

A promo action I came now to the latest work of the Fantastic Four. And I must say, the disc is really a Oberhammer. Music on Lauschgift level and respect. Text and verbal expression have the Fantas here, in my opinion, you might delivered the best album (the last 3-4 albums are excluded from my rating because I've never heard this extensively). At no other plate the characterological peculiarities of the band are so good to hear, like this: Thomas D. still blessed with essential profundity, Michi Beck still smart and witty, cocky and brash Smudo still (my favorite!). This diversity occurs with the progressive maturity of the band even better revealed and is the Fanta's really good to see.

Musically it sounds, what Andy Y. and Fanta conjure anything but to late forties. Songs like 'Today', 'Against all odds' and 'Game Over' are bursting with energy, tightness and pumping bass. I Typical 'is so wonderfully wrong-headed and musically on the amount of time that I briefly Real asked me if there accidentally another belt has shifted to the disk. In addition to these popular songs, there's also a lot to chill, nod and - as always - think.

All very fat produced in all and really innvoativ, but without losing the typical sparkling Fanta flavor. The board combines the best of what the Fantastic Four have to offer, and is yet one step further. I think we can can also look forward to the next 25 years with this band. I am absolutely thrilled!
