reception
The album reached number 21 in the German album charts. It is the first chart placement of an album by the band. It received mostly positive reviews.
Jan Burger from the specialist magazine Juice Magazin writes that it could initially "give the impression that [Witten Untouchable] [sic!] Had stopped [and] had n't noticed anything about the cloud and trap " . Yet they still “don't bother” to “be commercial” . The reviewer continues to see "no attempt to adapt or approximate" to mainstream rap.
Skinny from the e-zine rap.de judges: The "monumental-threatening samples" by Rooq are "varied" . Even more: They “give the album a uniform but never repetitive sound” . The rap part does contain “strong flows and complex rhyming chains” , but “many punchlines are makeshift and serve more as a means to an end” . In the end, however, he sums up from a predominantly positive perspective: In the end, it is “mysterious” and “unpredictable” .
The editorial team of Backspin Hip Hop Magazin rated the album with a total of 6.7 out of 10 points. In their second studio album, "Lakmann, Mess and Al Kareem are stylistically linked to their debut and once again offer dark nodding rap" .
