Reception
" [ ... ] Farina's first winking meant rhetorical question " Why take four guitar tracks, if it can be ten? " is already proving to herein as glaring beacon. One of the best songs heard " porcelain", which has slight placebo similarities and deals with the major theme of happiness. [ ... ] We want to know therefore emphasizes that Farin Urlaub Although still one of the good guys (who rhymes already MP3 players on Slayer? ) But will certainly not fearless determined that the man musically but increasingly to the plays the edge of irrelevance. " At the end of The Sun" lacks clearly fanning sound surprises like they used to " Sumisu " or in a different context " Jag älskar Sverige! " were able; Songs that are not the same served the listener with a crowbar, to what a great past, they must be measured. As it is: an album 's shelf (okay, the pictures are nice too ). "
