The phenomenon "Mando Diao" has been maintained in recent years not only by the continuous publication intervals, but how substantial Indie write straight through the special skills equally timeless club anthems rock songs, polished. Each album least one hit single - in the order "Sheepdog", "Down in the past" and "Long before rock'n'roll" called. Then "Never seen the light of day". With their 4th long player suddenly no obvious Hitfeuerwerk more but opulent scale experimentation.
