criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Blue view with four out of a possible five points. From the editor's point of view, Simon Langemann, the skilful “ dosed mixture of various influences ” results in a “ highly modern sound costume that clearly stands out from the German rap average in terms of both quality and innovation ”. In the course of this, Patrick Pulsinger is praised, who was responsible for mixing and mastering the album. Langemann also rated Gerard's lecture positively. The Austrian embodies “ more of a carefully considered narrator than the unleashed rap technician. "The piece Raten represents the" atmospheric highlight "of the publication. In summary, Gerard deserves more attention for Blausicht than he gets.

Leaderboard

In the list of the best “Hip Hop Albums of the Year” 2013 by ' Juice ', Blausicht was placed 7th, while Laut.de placed it 15th. From the editors' point of view, the “ quasi-debut ” kept everything “ what the month-long promo, including video singles and several live gigs, promised. "
