D.A.F. - Fünfzehn Neue DAF Lieder

A numerous of artists has lost their style or totally changed their sound during time, I have artists like Front 242, Covenant, Apoptygma Berzerk, Oomph! and others in my mind. A group you can't blame that on is D.A.F who releases an album after 25 years together as a group. It's the same monotonous music and repeated lines, just like 15 years ago.

So, how is this album? If you ask me it's not that much to cheer for. The word overestimated comes up in my mind. The strongest track is the first one "Der Sheriff" which no one can have avoided by now. Even "Kinderzimmer" and "Satellit" can be seen as fairly good productions in this other so boring and at sometimes tasteless work.

All respect to D.A.F for holding the style for all these years but the question is if they shouldn't have stopped before this album?
