They aim for live appearances, which is natural, Oktoberfest must be their natural habitat according to the info sheet. And the music?<\/p>\n<p>The opener \u201cIntro\u201d doesn\u00b4t really represent the album. The enhanced sounds of a beating heart accompanied with some background sound from a horror movie or thereabouts are nowhere near the punk approach and, often, style that takes off 1.38 later. They hit it off with every beer drinking German hell-raiser at a festival with \u201cUnd Dunkelheit Wird Licht\u201d. The voice echoes of empties beer crates, the catchiness is a punk version of oldies RUMBLE MILITIA and the refrain is even more in the pop vein. The sheer sing-along value of the title track, \u201cKein Paradies\u201d and the festival-fuel of \u201c20.000 Freunde\u201d makes for several minor hit singles. It gets on my nerves in \u201cPrall und Kugelrund\u201d though, it feels so calculated in that very track, is there such a thing as water combed punk? But there is also songs with stamina, like \u201cHalt die Fresse\u201d with its BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN-like harmonica. I may not always like German lyrics, but UNHERTZ makes them work.
