history

With the album, the Fantastischen Vier followed up on their predecessor Viel . It was mostly recorded live without loops . For the most successful single "Harvest what we sow", the background vocals were sung by the Münchener Freiheit . On “Was geht” again, like on the previous album, Max Herre sings the refrain. The Plattenpapzt produced the interlude "Lonely and withdrawn".

reception

The album reached number 1 in the German charts. Michael Schuh from laut.de awarded 3 out of 5 stars. He wrote: "Overall, the record exudes a pleasant serenity, but a few more stirring passages would certainly not have hurt."
