In my opinion this is the most misunderstood and underappreciated album of OOMPH! On the one hand I can understand why fans were puzzled by it. Conceptually and musically this album surely differs from anything guys did prior to it. Including videos and art work as well. It seems very strange for NDH genre. But only seemingly.
To me this album still sounds very much like OOMPH! Even without those very heavy sounds. The playful manner of it also fits well into guys personalities. Wouldn't you say?
Honestly, I find this album very refreshing and unexpected. But this what makes OOMPH! to be OOMPH! Never static and always looking for different angles to their music.
And yes, I am one of those people who actually loved their "Zwei Schritte Vor" video. It is so weird, so bizarre and yet, I cannot look away. 😄🙈
