Well, for me it simply means that the have become Wise Guys adult and older. I am well and so can me personally, this development does not scare, but is a natural process. As we have fathers who have already experienced a lot in life, because now there are five men on stage, the more are not "boys" , Even for myself other issues have become important than it was five, ten or fifteen years ago.
However, since known to not be arguing about taste, I can of course only speak for myself when I recommend this album unreservedly. I am - as always - excited !!!
The criticism that on the new CD no earworm potential exists, I can not connect me. Most of the songs I could hum along at the latest at the third hearing.
Personally, I also believe that the change from Clemens to Nils should not be overstated. I'll never forget how unique Clemens took part in "Just for you" on the stage ... ;-) and for that reason alone I will miss him. But I do not have the impression that Nils is a copy or wants to be. He has a great voice and interpreted "his" songs - like everyone else - very impressive. For text and music are indeed still primarily Dän and Eddie responsible, ie the different tenor of the CDs can not in principle indeed be due to the change.
I for one am completely satisfied, thank the "boys", the men have become and am looking forward to the next album !!!
