Sometime in the late 90s, when there were "admiring" a lot of bad hair cuts and even worse clothes on. As Viva was still cool and MTV still ran music. Between Fanta 4, Loveparade Technogeballer and Backstreet Boys, was suddenly even these students tape with boyband character. Recently I happened to see a documentary about the largest real tour to their Karierehöhepunkt and have to say the hype and the huge machinery around the band was really impressive. After all, the whole thing is already over 15 years ago. This concept does not work forever and a teen band is sometimes grown up, you had even then can already think anyway the product at all Teeniepopattitüde was really good pop music. Looking at the more than 30-year-old Kim Frank then with long hair, beard and beer belly at Roche and Böhmermann, surprise apart from the exterior especially the subliminal arrogance with which the former real singer and relatively unsuccessful solo artist occurs. We are simply no longer in the 90s.
Although I hear no such music more today and am among other large metal fan, I like this album still really like. It just evokes memories of my childhood and youth in one of the probably horniest decades. I am now grown up and many things are different than they were then. "Everything will change when we are great" sang real in 1998 on the opening track of your self-titled debut. You should keep so right!
