"Hey, this groups rocks. They've really captured that great crossover between hip hop with pop hooks. I've been a collector of international hip hop for a few years now - since happening upon a MC Solaar video in France years ago. Fettes Brot certainly takes it to a new level. Where Die Fantastischen Vier can achieve ueber cheese at times, that's been left out of this recipe. If you've got ..., I highly recommend this disc, or check the amazon.de site where it's probably cheaper and more available. As a side note, their single from this cd, "Viele Wege fuehren nach Rom" is terribly catchy and even though you may not understand what they are singing, you will be singing it non-stop!"
Tons O' Fun

"I hope I don't get slammed for this comparison, but I liken Fettes Brot to the Beastie Boys; they aren't melodically gifted, their true talent lies in the way the present themselves. A lot of silliness goes into their music, giving them that "cool guys I'd like to just sit around and chill with" vibe. Not chilling as in, kicking back with a beer and talking, but chilling as in watching the "Real World" to talk about how pathetic the castmembers are while having wrestling matches in the center of the living room. My favorite tracks on this album are "Spiderman und Ich" and "Lieblingsleid.""
