Deutsch Musik

"GUTEN TAG!! I am in German II at my local High School (Findlay High School, Ohio) and my German class is absolutely obsessed with German Music. Every Friday we devote an entire class to Deutsch Musik. You could not find a more enthused group of Americans about German Music. Most of the people are particularly fond of "Deutschland" by Die Prinzen. It seems ever since we heard the song in German I, most people walk into my German II class on Fridays saying "DEUTSCHLAND!" or something to that extent. I really enjoy German music, and I really like this C.D. In fact, I had never heard German Rap until i came into class a few weeks ago. There are many other great German bands too. I would suggest Die Fantaschien Vier for anyone who likes Die Prinzen. Die Fantaschien Vier (or "The Fantastic Four") is a group like Die Prinzen. Both groups are good for people who appreciate Deutsch Musik! Auf Wiedersehen und Bis Spater!!"

Best CD from the Old Country (BRD/DDR)

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A compilation of catchy tunes with always interesting and socially critical lyrics. If you like German Pop, you can't go wrong. These guys are the best at it. If it weren't for me humming 'Deutschland' while painfully biking 30 kilometres a day in Berlin, I may not have survived. Insightful, interesting, self-effacing, irreverent, all with a great tune. Zweiflos prachtvoll; höchste Qualität und einfach zu genießen. Kauf' mal sofort!"

A New Style for Die Prinzen

Jaap van Adler | 05/22/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Die Prinzen definitely take on a new style in this CD. The first song, "Popmusik", in the European style of discotheque, is far removed from what die Prinzen have previously done. Many of the other songs emulate the current pop music styles in the U.S. Take the song "Mama" for an example, it definitely sounds like "La Vida Loca" in some places. "Deutschland" is a great anthem song, but it has a very nasty four-letter word in the middle of it that seems out of place for this song and really wrecks the effect of the song. I really like the album, but I only gave it a 4 stars because of the few vulgar words in some of the songs that were out of place and did not really seem necessary and because the style for some of the songs did not seem original. Despite these two things, some of the songs contained such as "Ungerechtigkeit" and "Doktor" contained really interesting humor. This is a good album, but to fully enjoy it you must understand German, or have somebody who knows German explain it to you."
