Wolfgang Niedecken has become old mild ...

Recently Wolfgang Niedecken has become 60 years old. He is in good company of aging rock stars and heroes of an entire generation. Now it is often the case that many of these veterans are still today a maximum of an embarrassing decal former glory which is always repeatedly regurgitated and. Quite different, however, BAP and Wolfgang Niedecken. The band and he became older together, and it seems to me that they also stand by and no spasmodic attempts companies still to present ourselves here any Jugendwahn. Wolfgang remained as the end of a founding member of the band embodies like no other this process of aging, which is reflected in particular in his lyrics. Previously he was also like snappy to biting, but therefore also unilaterally in some perspective for the respective current political, while today obviously far more cosmopolitan, relaxed, often looking back looking at the things of life, but without being denied, where he comes from.

Just this review is very clearly represented on the new album. But the nice thing is, he does not quarrels, everything is presented with a wink and the capacity for self-reflection. This ability, so my impression, previously did not always to the fore. One might think that he sees everything now "halv su wild", but I think, one should not want to understand him. One who has ever so clearly taken a position in his life as Wolfgang Niedecken will continue to do this. The issue of nuclear power was always up to date and will remain so in future. The album was finished ahead of Japan and remained without this infuence. But Wolfgang Niedecken would not be himself if he did not see it as his unwavering attitude in this matter confirms, though he does not need to such an example and would rather see it undone.

Musically the album is in my view equally relaxed, but not in the sense of boring music for old men, but with a lot of rock, the mighty has steam. The beauty is also here that not all cramped comes along, but nice and fluffy without any attempts to repeat one of the old top hits. The drive sounds as if the musicians were all just made, they just had woaruf Bock. These then fits directly the title track as an opener, the one indirectly says nimmŽs with humor and not so serious and hear the music exactly under this slogan, then fell wirdŽs you. Thus one also takes the umpteenth rehash of highway left of the musical comes afloat and content also includes a lot of hindsight, quasi how the band BAP, the motorway network has continued to spread.

No Droppe Mieh is then one of my first personal favorites. Crisp reef and a Song of something harder pace. One way or another homage to his native city is also on the album. Chlodwigplatz is a reggae number that is not everyone's thing perhaps, but makes for a nice change. Ironically I find course Verjess Babylon. Similarly, in the style of Ruut-Wieß Blue here biblical history is rewritten or perhaps better put on kölsch properly. Total thematically an intricate number on linguistic diversity, but with the realization that the divine language is then Kölsch. The Major liked this type of set to music stories musically, so it may no longer existed after Müsliman anything like it. I have since now not a whole plate of have, but as color in an overall context like.

My personal Libelingssong the new album is next to No Droppe Mieh the song Noh all dänne Johre. This song is also a kind of retrospective, in which the protagonist finds that it will have the time and experience calmly leave. This fits well with the input findings. Also a kind of retrospective are all the Aurenblicke and the short skirt Stampfer Karl-Heinz.

In the overall picture, the two pieces were at least able and Niemohls somehow being left behind, what would be very wrong. Both are musically become two pearls. Waat ens jraad is a very personal moment on the album, totally kitsch free.

Only remains for me two of my favorites to describe. Un donoh iss the carnival is over a small but significant Plea for more tolerance aand attention. Waröm Dunn ... although somehow for FC-fans, in my view, but for all football fans and I as coming Zweitligist feel as very appealing.

I have while listening to the album is not the impression that BAP as soon stop, it's an evolution for the last album, which I, for example, as long as they make personally also very well thought through a few top songs like Noh Gulu the very relaxed and authentic here come over, as long as they can remain as they have just Bock.
