CD Reviews

Climb On, I'll Carry You

Sean Michael Tibbitts | Salt Lake City, UT USA | 02/08/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wir sind Helden ought to be the biggest new thing on the U.S. music charts: their lyrics are clever and often profound, their music is contagious without being sappy or insipid, and even their fun songs are deeper the second time around. Unfortunately, not enough people here have heard of them, or they would be the biggest new thing, I'm absolutely convinced. Get the message out! Wir sind Helden rocks!"

Delightful quirky music

Kenneth | Singapore | 12/08/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the first non-English album I have heard and I say I am hooked! Instantly, u love the quirky hooks and catchy melodies that are both riveting and addictive. Hailing from the the Neue Deutsche Welle or 'New German Wave', Wir sind Helden or "We are heroes" are a quartet consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Judith Holofernes, Pola Roy at drums, bassist Mark Tavassol and keyboardist Jean-Michel Tourette. Four singles are released from the album sofar and all are gems, namely "Nur ein Wort", "Gekommen um zu bleiben", "Von hier an blind" and "Wenn es passiert". My personal favourite is "Nur ein Wort" - a cheery upbeat song, very folksy sound coupled with a feet tapping beat. Their sound is very analog, unlike the deluge of digitalised music we hear nowadays. This album is quickly a personal Top 5 album for 2005."

Ich liebe diese Band!

"Wir Sind Helden is my favorite band. I love their music. I actually heard this album live in Stuttgart, Germany while I was studying there before I got the CD. It was quite a moving experience. The song Von Hier an Blind (From Here on Blind) does so much to express the feelings of the the current generation. One doesn't have to philosophize about the future of Germany to enjoy this album though. Some of my friends have critized the Helden for being less critical of society in this CD than their last one, Die Reklamation, which is certainly also an awesome album. However, I think the criticism that they have "gone soft" since they have become successful is unfounded. Listen for yourself!"
