The Spice of Life

"It is what it is" - in fact, the title of the new album to be program. It is like it is. Anders and the same as the previous albums. Anders: rocking and the same: because unmistakably PUR. Again and again (bluntly or indirectly) the invitation to take their own lives into their own hands and, inseparable from it, the other. For example, are songs like the title track, as "SOS" as "Try harder (the chorus full potential catchy!) To". Lyrically missraten I personally find "Again and again", the text is written very bumpy and reminds very much of "secretly" from the album "Seiltänzertraum". In addition, this is in my opinion the weakest song "Arguing" flat text and just loud. On the other hand is "Until the morning comes." Just beautiful, very gigantic text, fluent, internally consistent, and conjured up a beautifully tranquil melody of Ingo Reidl.

A text out of the ordinary in a positive sense is "faith". It goes deeper than all other texts, brings a spiritual dimension to language, talks about (for me 'holy') moments deep agreement and connectedness with all - and at the same time can ultimately sympathize even each listener what everyone associates with those moments and with faith , This is a gem of this album, no concert thriller - but worth more in my opinion. So a deep text does well. And since there is then also "poor gray tomcat", with a wink sung about Casanova. That is also PUR. And a tribute to Rolf Lichtblau, who belonged to 1981 band and died of cancer 3 years ago. A tribute by far, which has led to a completely successful song. Rocking melody, serious background, catchy, free text. "It is what it is" - The mix, although I personally would have liked more profound texts. A good album with average songs, beads and 1.2 titles that do not like me personally, which belongs now once live me like better than canned!
