reception

criticism

Dani Fromm, music critic from laut.de , particularly criticizes the less challenging lyrics, saying that Kaiser didn't dare. The only exception with a little depth is Ich Weiß Alles, a text by Till Lindemann . Incidentally, the impression arises as if the music and texts in the early 80s had remained in the style of the ZDF hit parade , as if "walled in". Fromm summarizes the album as follows: "[...] appears flat, heard a thousand times, and suffocates above all in the completely dull implementation".
