In Aller Stille = Digipack = (CD)
Not bad at all. In Aller Stille opens with a 'We're still here song' which sets the tone for the rest of the album. There's less musical experimentation (or, depending on your perspective, boredom) here than the Hosen's had a decade ago, so there's no horn sections or supermarket trolleys or funk rhythms. Nevertheless, a cello creeps in a couple of times, as well as a duet on a ballad. And a good ballad at that. There is a fair amount of shouting--which should please my brother--although at times it sounds a little cheesy, as do the Madonna-esque keyboards on 'Disco' (but you can't really hold that against them as that's their point). All in all it's a short, punchy album which doesn't really do anything new but does show that the Hosen's can still muster up enough passion, anger, and musicality to remain relevant.
