Reviews

Georg Howahl, who judged the album for the newspaper Der Westen , found no words of praise: “The new album after the success of 'Große Freiheit' is very similar. It is a great load of sticky acoustic pathos, occasionally mixed with Rammstein guitars, and at the end leads to mourning to sway along. "The Passauer Neue Presse judged:" All in all , the Graf has got a bit deep into the pop hits -Kitsch drawer in the form of synthesizer canned food strings. Everything flows, goes down like oil, but hardly sticks. " Sebastian Leber from the Berliner Tagesspiegel liked the music, but also found the lyrics to be inadequate:" The 16 new songs are high-dose antidepressants, often thrilling and always directly accessible. The lyrics, however, are on a kitschy poetry album level. ”Stefan Frühauf from dark-festivals.de complained about the softer style of Lichter der Stadt compared to previous albums and suggested it to“ friends of sophisticated German hits ”. Kevin Holtmann from plattentests.de also criticized city ​​lights heavily.
