Style and reception
"4 wins" continues the style of the previous album Jetzt it goes from consistently.
The lyrics also deal with youthful topics such as relationships ( Thomas and the women , Die there!?! ) And sex ( juice ), as on “Now it goes off” there is also a diss track ( asshole ) for the last time .
Especially the catchy single Die da!?! provided the band with regular airplay for the first time and thus a level of awareness beyond the status of an insider tip. Outside of the German-speaking area, however, the reaction of the critics was rather restrained; the album only got 2.5 out of 5 stars from the All Music Guide .
successes
The album “4 wins” achieved, probably also fueled by the success of Die da!?! , in Germany, Austria and Switzerland place 3 of the respective album hit parade. When singles were juice , let the sun in and those there!?! released. The most successful single was Die da!?! , which climbed to the top of the single charts in Austria and Switzerland and reached number 2 in Germany.

Trivia
The melody of the chorus of Die da !? comes from the piece Right Down Here by the Indian musician Asha Puthli . The samples with the wording Who is she? and she is beautiful! in this song are from Star Wars and are said by Luke Skywalker . For Nonixnarretz , Godfather runnin 'the joint was sampled by James Brown . The song White Horse by the Danish pop duo Laid Back was again sampled for the song Saft .
On the LP version, the last piece of asshole is infinitely long, as the sonorous sound at the end of the song is fed into an endless groove and therefore continues until you manually stop playback. This was not technically possible on the CD; here the sound is slowly faded out after about 13 minutes.
