criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated normal velvet with four out of a possible five points. In the opinion of the editor Thomas Haas, the album moves “ on the fine line between exaggerated criticism of the scene and self-irony and does not make any compromises. “The editor characterizes the duo's music as“ highly misanthropic meta-level battle rap with a penchant for cynicism. “The“ criticism of social customs ”, such as the“ sarcastic mockery of the first world problem ”on handkerchief , is“ a not insignificant part ”of the art of Audio88 & Yassin. Apart from the “ trap instrumental ” of the first piece, “ the record remains true to its sound-technical route. "The producer Torky Tork combines" nerdy diggerism with rock-hard Bummtschak productions. "

Christian Weins from MZEE rates the album positively and describes it as "the gentlest release so far in the discography of Audio88 and Yassin". He emphasizes the "for once not that bad mood" of the protagonists and expressly recommends the album to the reader.
