For packaging itself: The CD is supplied with a pitch, including three bottle caps with the initials B, F and R. As we know from Berlin coming (from Berlin) band, but it is not a normal society game, which the inclined owner of CD is enriched there. For this game, you have to be 'hardcore'. Instead a few fields before and jump back you have to make a success here sour: Food cook, kiss players, ancient beverage exes from the refrigerator and remove "friends" from his cell phone directory. Small drawback: The CD serves as a hub. I doubt that that's very healthy for the CD itself over time. But as Farin Urlaub already said, so people buy just several albums, if a CD is broken. Refined.
The box itself looks very old and worn, like an old board game, which rotted for years in the closet and that one sometime back remembers with much pleasure, if one digs it out. Even the material of the packaging is a little rougher than the normal paper boxes of CDs.
There so little to grumble, "The Doctors" -üblich you get here is a very pretty, handsome plate for his money.
And now probably the most important, the music:
"Even" is composed of 16 tracks marvel of good humor. Earwig meets catchy, especially Farin Urlaub trumps, as ever, on this record with its groovy pop songs like "M & F", which are a stay in the head and probably never disappear. The otherwise very heavy rock album survived by his energy and spirit, the never-ending experimentation of "The Doctors" and the joie de vivre that is transported through each song. The album as a whole is very homogeneous, and the justice divided tracks in which each would collect an approximately equal big piece of the pie, are another icing.
Besides Farin Urlaub, probably, even if he wanted to, not a bad track could bring about even Rodrigo trumps here on very strong. I held his songs in the past, mostly just for nice accessories, heard my favorite song on the record, "Son of emptiness" him. His other, more quieter songs slow down the high speed of the plate a little bit, do the complete work, however good.
Striking at this point: There is no ballad on the disc. I think that's far too bad, as I as a little too quickly feel the album as a whole and it is exhausting me, the whole tracklist repeatedly heard in succession, even if everything is well coordinated in that way. One, two oases of peace would have been nice.
But then he comes, the reason why this album gets only four stars: Bela B. What these once so great musicians rides in recent years, I do not know, but he seems to me more and more of the vote »Physicians Formula "avert. Nothing against innovation, but its sound reminds more and more pop, which I can personally begin as nothing. In "Jazz is different" was the "Bela-problem" a similar, and also his second solo album gave me hardly anything - why it is no wonder that his works on me "and" also (Ha!) Barely have fallen. In the text of "bitch," I get a very unpleasant feeling, "bed magnet" can hardly convince the Oktavengehüpfe at "ZeiDverschwÄndung" is hardly bearable. The only light (at the end of the coffin) is "That you allowed" where the old arrogance of Count short time stands and a reminiscent of the good old days.
Overall, therefore, saw a quick, satisfying album with some low and many, many highlights. I'm concerned, you could to track 11 can stop the music, then it would probably have become almost perfect in every way, but of course there are people who. On »Cpt Metal "and" Die Hard "hardly want to miss.
Keep the content "The doctors" still in the balance. Here's a pinch of self-irony, there a little social criticism, but always original and without large, all albums by pulling scheme. "The doctors" may not be the true content deepest band in the world - but the most entertaining they are still.
Fans can thus breathe and do not need to wait for the great fiasco: The doctors still take care of the rock.
