Reception

The band was "not effeminate ," the guitars are " bold, hard and loud, Tralala - choruses " there is only very rarely. Instead dominate " earthy, riffbetonter heavy rock with a certain portion of party feeling ." In addition, he was " of course again two gorgeous ballads, " the "two by two eminently suitable for comfortable hours " are. The " only problem with this disk " is "the long playing time of 63 minutes," which was for one or the other "filler" responsible. Otherwise could Tracks like ' Out For Love', the "atmospheric " ' Real Love', the ' Mitgrölnummer " ' Do Ya Know ' or' convince the towering title track absolutely ". Although Albrecht critical of the absence of so-called " About hammers like ' Up All Night ' or ' Fly To The Angels, ' " but notes, "The Wild Life" was " but a compact, honest album become that his eight points earned honestly " have.
