Reviews
Laut.de's music editors only gave the album one of five stars. Johannes Jimeno from laut.de described the album in the following words: The instrumental pieces Auf ein Last Mal and Für alle Zeit are surrounded by a work of disgusting pop music with melodramatic viola and shallow strings. In the remaining 14 songs, the count would celebrate everything bad from Schlager , Goth and Pop . Lyrically, this 70-minute ordeal is boring, uninspired and mercilessly bombastic. The pieces I would like to visit you and whalers away are particularly bad . Jimeno describes the two titles as a criminal offense. I would like to visit you, be maltreated with a disgusting emotional slump and he describes whalers as a freak from Rammstein and Tokio Hotel bonds.
The German-language music website jpc.de rated the album with 3.8 / 5 stars.
The album was also rated very badly by Plattentests.de . The e-zine only awarded one out of ten points. Pascal Bremmer from plattentests.de complained, among other things, of the "pompous and spooky guitar riffs", "pop-pop melodies", the hymn-like nature and the repeated occurrence of signal words such as "freedom" and "luck".
Charts and chart placements
Von Mensch zu Mensch was the fourth studio album in a row to reach position one in the album charts in Germany and was able to hold its own for one week as well as nine weeks in the top 10 and 22 weeks in the charts. In Austria the album reached position four and stayed in the top 10 for two weeks and in the charts for 19 weeks. In Switzerland, Von Mensch zu Mensch reached position three and stayed in the top 10 for one week and in the charts for 20 weeks. In 2016, the album was placed 29th in the annual German album charts, 69th in Austria and 73rd in Switzerland.
For Unheilig this is the twelfth chart success in Germany, as well as the seventh in Austria and the sixth in Switzerland. It is already her sixth Top 10 success in Germany and Switzerland, and the seventh in Austria. It is her fourth number one success in Germany. It is Unheilig's sixth album that was able to be placed in all DA-CH countries at the same time .
