I'm like most entered with "Connect 4" at the Fantas. Property me then, "Now it's off" gained and am then left the Fantas Troy.
I have to be honest. The last 3 albums have me a little disappointed at very high levels. It lacked a certain something. The outstanding songs as they were on Lauschgift or the continuity of the older albums. Hard to describe but there were just not masterpieces but very good albums.
And then 25 I could not believe it. The Fanta cut out so a cool number? Is that really the taste of the new album? Then came "And Lot" and I had hope. On an album that deserves the name record.
The album runs in a loop since this morning. It has once again become a masterpiece. I not the masterpiece of the dream so as not to be disappointed dared.
The album has a dynamic again. One can hear through it completely and you will be entertained from start to finish.
Above I wrote "Back to the Roots". There are many influences audible again, who identified the quality of the first albums.
So flashy things, like using them again more samples (And we love Spaceballs ;-)). But even more subtle things, like you have the sounds previously heard something like this before. The whole modern but packed and partly something experimentally, as has not heard it since the 4th dimension.
They have scaled back the pop of the last albums and are again a little more old-school. I hope you understand what I mean. It's really hard to write about music.
The lyrics are intelligent as ever. Catchy, critical, funny and thoughtful.
Thomas has created a masterpiece with warriors. And that remains unmatched. However, he has worked with a really good track "God is my witness" delivered touching a real again.
Details on individual songs I wanted to write, but Jens Oertel has taken in his review to 95% my opinion.
The completion of the album is "The game is over" one of the best one can imagine. It fits to this album, to 25 years Fanta 4 and the charm that this album again.
I'll see you on the record tour ;-)
