24/7 is the ninth music album by the Hamburg band Die Sterne . It was released on February 26, 2010 by the Materie Records label. Richard von der Schulenburg left the band before the album was finished in 2009 because of different musical ideas.
The music differs significantly from the band's previous releases. It is much more electronic and is characterized above all by disco beats, which the previous style of funk, soul and rock has given way.

The musical reorientation of the band was largely positively received by critics. Manuel Czauderna from the music magazine Intro wrote: "The hit density of the 3-song appetizer" Der Riss "had raised expectations for the album dangerously high. And now? Again: hits, hits, hits! Twelve in a row. Perhaps their best album since "Posen". " Czauderna saw 24/7 as a consistent further development of the music of the stars.
Thomas Pilgrim from Plattentests.de was of the same opinion : "In a way," 24/7 "is even less of an alienation than a consistent continuation of the usual style with varied means, especially since central elements remain unchanged:" Wie ein Schwein "is quoted at the beginning with Friday on My Mind from the Easybeats once again a pop classic, "Gib mir die Kraft" dances a powerful spacerock boogie. “ Both Pilgrim and the readers of Plattentests.de rated the album with 8 out of 10 points.
Mathias Denecke from laut.de also thought the album was a success: "The stars' new listening material is text-free and stretched with electronic organs, thus ensuring the optimal ratio. The new outfit suits the stars well. It is a little funky also, the new record. " 24/7 was described as modern and very worth hearing and received 4 out of 5 points.
