Anyone who thinks evil should finally be silent is the seventh studio album by the German band Extrabreit , released in 1991, and the first with German-language lyrics since the LP of the week 1984 was released.
background
In 1987 the group released the album Sex After 3 Years in a Submarine , recorded by producer Reinhold Mack , who was best known for his work with Queen ( The Game , Hot Space , The Works , A Kind of Magic ) . It was an exclusively English-language album. The aim was to “acquire the reputation of serious rock musicians who also meet international demands.” The musical style of the group changed as a result: the new compositions were based “on modern international rock music”, the “structures of the individual Pieces "appeared" more sophisticated "and the band made" a fresh and mature impression. "
Despite the positive response from the specialist press ( Musikexpress wrote, for example, that the band presented "a sound that is equally elegant and trashy"), the group did not achieve any chart success with the album.
During the tour for this album, bassist Wolfgang Jäger, drummer Michael Gaßmann and keyboarder Peter Szimanneck left the band, which in future did without a permanent keyboard player and instead strengthened itself with guitarist Bubi Hönig. Michi Grimm (bass) and Rolf Möller (drums) completed the quintet.
At the beginning of 1991 the band began with the songwriting, in April and May 1991 they recorded the album in the Gaga studio in Hamburg. The sound mix was done by Ian Taylor ( Gary Moore ) in the Fairland Studio in Bochum.
The album's first single was Joachim must be harder. It was released on July 5, 1991, followed by the album on August 16, 1991. The second single was released The final touch .

reception
Musikexpress awarded four out of five possible stars and concluded that the album was “lyrically somewhere between sheer nonsense and biting irony” and also had “a lot to offer musically”. The spectrum ranges “from heavy rock riffs to soulful sounds.” It pays off “everywhere” that the band now has three full-fledged singers. It is "a fresh album that could easily compete with works by younger bands".
Jörg Staude wrote for Metal Hammer that one had to "wait and see whether songs like Der letzte Schliff , Schnabeltassenparty or Mama would be accepted by the new, extra-wide audience", they "definitely have what it takes". From time to time Kai Havaii sounds "like Lindenberg's Udo", but since his trips to rock fields have "become rarer" since the Odyssey , "at least a similar replacement" is provided here. The pieces are “musically rather simple”, although the Hammond organ ( Elvira ) and wind instruments ( Walter makes a bank ) set “new accents”. The band could not "completely close the gap in German hard rock that was created by the departure of the doctors", but they are an alternative "in any case". Staude awarded five points.
