If you enjoyed Jaeger 90's Muskeln & Kuesse then you can stop reading this review right now & rest assured that this follow-up will float your boat in exactly the same manner. That's mainly down to the fact that Thoralf & Vigo have hardly pushed themselves creatively nor widened their musical scope, producing album covers very much the same ground as its predecessor; in other words, an uncompromising minimalistic old-skool sound topped off by repetitive DAF-like vocals but lacking the infectious edge that made M&K stand out; true there are some neat touches such as the relentless bass & rhythmic backing that drives the slower 'Richtung Westen' while in 'Dessau' & the closing 'Unsere Jugend' they've got a couple of dancefloor smashes on their hands. It's fair to say that this isn't in the least bit innovative, the unusual backing effects that pop up on 'Zu Jung' & the zippy 'Lass Mich Doch' being as surprising as it gets. Still, this isn't likely to be a problem for their fans so if you can't get enough of that old skool stuff this will suit you down to the ground.
