3.5 greatiamSeraph | July 12th 24

To get this out of the way - Ode An Die Arbeit and Fuer Nichts Garantieren are two of my
most-hated German songs of all time. They are unnerving, extremely repetitive, and feature
weak, first-time male backing vocals for Wir Sind Helden since their inception. So when I
initially heard these two tracks, I thought to myself that this album is going to be one of
the biggest trainwrecks in modern German music history. But fortunately, I guessed
incorrectly. Because aside from additional filler material that slows the record down like
for instance Der Krieg Kommt Schneller Zurueck Als Du Denkst or Lass Uns Verschwinden, we
can find some true gems on here. Soundso and Labyrinth alone are two of the best songs the
band has ever written. I would even go as far as to say that they would be German pop rock
classics, if Wir Sind Helden were a bit more widely known. Also Die Konkurrenz, Haende Hoch,
and Stiller are wonderful additions to their song portfolio that they can choose from what
to play live. Overall, this third album is slightly weaker than their firstling Die
Reklamation, but certainly a bit more mature than their sophomore Von Hier An Blind,
although the latter certainly featured more successful mainstream hits.

Die Konkurrenz is a banger and a half. Super catchy German pop rock.
