Incredible

There it is again - that feeling that good music of average stuff is different.
This feeling that there is a CD that so in the ear canals is already at the first hearing that they never really lose again.
This feeling can make only the really big.
And Tocotronic: You are really great.
Although "How do we want to live" in my opinion a bit too flippant larmoyant - in more than 20 years as a band must be able to forgive an average CD.
My doubt in any case that Tocotronic slowly say goodbye to the old part, this CD rinses away easily.
There is pressure, there are melodies, there's a previously unknown extension of the musical spectrum to skillfully used strings.
There is a consistent theme: love and its trials and tribulations. You can even sing in German about when the German language so masterfully mastered as you of Lowtzow.
And despite all catchiness: Their hardness they have not lost.
Even though I now and then an overdriven guitar miss - Ric McPhail is ever quite big presence - this is criticism in a very high level.
In addition to the partly amazingly creative young Battle rappers, this is certainly the best thing you can hear in German anno 2015.
