It's not bad, but there is a bad combination in their songs:

german lyrics+cheesy subjects+slow parts.
The more direct and agressive songs are better than the rest.

They are one of the bands that I like when I listen to them but hardly ever listen to. I even forget which albums of theirs I like the best. I'll have to give them another listen sometime soon.

they're one of the few bands with german lyrics that i actually like. the other being on occasion In Extremo.
I find the slow parts on Seemann to be very funny, especially the accordion in the background, but the aggresive songs, like Friede Sei Mit Dir rockkkkkkkk!!!

I absolutely loved "All You Need Is Love", but after that they got too soft and goofy too often. The new stuff just bothers me.

These guys are great. Be sure to check out their back catalogue as well, as they have five albums out before the new one (Riders On The Storm).
