The sixth album by the group Wise Guys is right up there . It was released on August 27, 2001 and reached number 49 in the album charts in the first week of sales, but was only able to stay in the charts for three weeks.

A single released about two months in advance called Jetzt ist Sommer presents the most successful song on the album, for which the band produced a video clip for the first time. The song, the recording and the clip were created within a week (May 1-8, 2001). The broadcast of the clip on VIVA attracted greater attention nationwide to the then still relatively unknown group.

Another novelty is the song Wenn Sie tanzt , which was produced not only a cappella , but also in an orchestrated “radio version”. Both versions appeared both on the album and on the single named after this song.

For the song Stolz , the Wise Guys worked with the Cologne rock band Brings ; Christian Blüm as drummer and Micky Brühl from the paviers complement the vocal percussion that is otherwise used by a cappella bands on some other tracks . The song Die Philosoffen was written by cabaret artist Tom van Hasselt .

The name of the album came about when a sound engineer from the Wise Guys ironically described a failed performance during the sound check as "way ahead".
