I’ve been a fan of In Extremo since forever so I was delighted to see they’ve got another album. It’s called “Sterneneisen”. After listening to it I have to come to the frightening conclusion: it doesn’t compare remotely to the In Extremo I know. It’s gone down to the Subway to Sally’s, Saltatio Mortis of this world and actually – these bands are improving. *sigh* I’m not saying it’s bad, but it’s the same thing you know. The same thing in a mediocre way. Ich liebe das letzte Einhorn, also, this surprises me. It won’t be the first time I get to appreciate an album, but mostly that’s reserved for freaky pop songs from the East if you know what I mean.
Zigeunerskat reminds me of a previous song… “die so laut wie hunde bellen”. I know for sure that piece of text appeared somewhere else; on a different song. Then, Zauberspruch No. VII which is similar to any version of Merseburger Zauberspruche… it doesn’t even compare to the quality.
