Reviews
La Bum was received rather moderately by national music critics. Plattentests.de rated the album with 5 out of 10 points, Visions with 8 or 4 points from two different editors and at laut.de it scored three out of five points in the editorial team. Laut.de wrote:
“The Munich-based company has delivered an exciting and often simply wonderful album. [...] The wild, unbridled frolicking times seem over, but without losing the bite. "
“In short, the athletes have not reinvented themselves, but have continued to develop. In this way they position themselves in a pleasantly playful and relaxed way between the pop-cultural credibility of the doctors and a lovingly balanced Tomte thoughtfulness. Because they have remained loyal to the indie without denying the pop status they have now achieved . That alone is performance enough. "
