criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Neue Welt with four out of a possible five points. From the editor's point of view, Jan Ehrhardt, the album is a “ wonderful symbiosis of experimental pop music and Gerard's monotonously rapping voice. “It only reveals its full potential after listening to it several times. "Gerard mixes" clearly electronic songs [...] pop and hip-hop elements fresh, free and happy ", which results in" wonderful symbioses of indistinguishable influences and genres ". The piece Hymnen advances to the potential goose bumps moment of the upcoming tour with “a wobbling bass line and slightly funky approaches. “ All the emptier The store is highlighted as an“ absolute tip ”, which reveals new details with“ every further run ”.

The online magazine MZEE.com praises the attention to detail and the otherness of Neue Welt, but also points out that the album "will probably not find its place at any party". That would simply be due to the fact that "the proper proportion of mainstream pop according to the scheme F" would be missing on the record. Overall, however, the conclusion is very positive.
