Neppomuk's Revenge (Audio CD)

Customer Review

The sequel to "Love, Death & Devil" comes, this album not quite, but still stands out far above the average. Typically EAV style to biting satires mix with pure nonsense - sometimes not even to decide in which category belongs a song.
After a short intro starts "Neppomuks revenge" with an ironic farewell to the defunct Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was replaced by the "oblique tone" of popular music. Waltz and Radetzky March instead of rock'n'roll - so should the degenerate Austria are led back to its former glory; the irreverent cover of the album shows what to make of such claims ...
This is followed by the witty "Ding Dong", which warns before opening the door - Finally, you never know who's out there; and because the main character of the song constantly ignored the warning, breaks one disaster after another in him.
After a brief interlude man kissed his girlfriend "Arrivederci" says then makes another up with his girlfriend because no train leaves in their place of residence eggs Bach. Both songs are rather lukewarm and soon forgotten, surely the weakest point of the album.
In "S 'Muaterl" the EAV accesses one of its main themes: criticism of the Catholic Church. A sorely tried by fate old woman seeks solace in the church, but is only exploited. Finally, she comes to the realization: "You bet't the Lord's Prayer and say. It is a scandal that our Lord God his ground crew" The song stands out from the others in this album by its calm and thoughtfulness from.
Very much tempered comes "One goes around the world," therefore. A hymn is garnished with numerous allusions organized on the fart that even metaphysical consecration receives: ". Before him all men are created equal" After serious "S'Muaterl" This song is more of a messing about.
Perhaps the best song on the album is "Samurai", a biting satire on the sex tourism in East Asia, where the tasteless preferences of mostly elderly tourists are revealing mercilessly: "Yes in the Land of Smiles are the women little, he begins to pant, can 'be his daughter. " Finally, he takes a very unwanted souvenir to take home. Linguistically interesting is the pseudo-Asian accent, in which the song is maintained.
At that time, was currently the disillusionment of East German citizens, who combined all hopes with the union and were sorely disappointed. In "There is a house in East Berlin" needs a man to have this experience: "It is not that all that glitters here is gold, white Karl-Otto long - except when you can afford it." Finally, he returned to East Berlin.
In "Würschtelstand" disinterest and ignorance of the affluent society are being targeted: "We whistle again ozone hole and in South Africa - our problem: Where are the Debreziner"
Concluding finally found the album in "Gone". A straight late husband looking out the grave of his own funeral and commented dramatically feigned mourning his relatives: "The relatives ham instead of the Bible the calculator in hand and dividiern heritage auseinand". He gleefully announces that there is nothing to inherit: Before his death, he was still in the casino.
Conclusion: A typical EAV album, which includes not only weaker numbers great satires (S 'Muaterl, Samurai, it is a house ...) and definitely belongs in a collection of intelligent pop music.
