#damn those Germans make good bier

[nice-bright-colors]

There may or may not have been 1/2 liters of a 7.5% Maibock tonight, because The Wife™️ was craving a burger* & fries. I did my best to limit it to 3, and a pint of their “May The Schwartz Be With You” Schwarzbier.

Die Ärzte - Hell (Live Reaction)

LET’S FUCKING GO!

1. E.V.J.M.F

Lol this sounds like a rap song???

Step aside Capital Bra

2. Plan B

THIS SLAPS

They better have a real rooser on stage when they play this. Played by Rod of course cause the man can literally play the broom, I bet he can play the rooster too.

3. Achtung: Bielefeld

Farin 1995: I’m so bored and I hate it. Bela 2020: Being bored is great!

Bela in 2012: I can’t get out of bed cause I’m watching Netflix, help. Bela in 2020: This is fine.

That Aleppo line, damn Bela, back at it again with the social commentary

4. Warum spricht niemand über Gitarristen?

Farin is right, we definitely have to talk about guitarists more. And drummers. And bassists.

Farin really nailed this self-deprecating humor thing. Just like on “Männer haben kein Gehirn: “And that’s why there are mostly stories about Bela in this book, because stories about me are mostly ‘And then Farin went to sleep while Bela payed 35.000 DM at the bar for drinks.’

5. Morgens Pauken

The first single, we already knew that but it still slaps.

6. Das letzte Lied des Sommers

Sounds like it could become a single that’ll be played on the radio all the time

Yes, Farin, we know you love traveling it’s literally in your name

7. Clown aus dem Hospiz

Thees Uhlmann also has a song about this topic, called “Menschen ohne Angst wissen nicht wie man singt”

8. Ich, am Strand

What kind of genre is this? Reggae-Dancehall-Something?

Yes Farin, we know you love the beach and the sea, you literally sang about it two songs ago

allkajdljskd love how it starts all “I’m so happy” and then it’s suddenly “I’m homeless and dying”.

9. True Romance

The second single, also still slaps

Die Ärzte be like “What if we made a Disco song?”

People in ~20-30 years be like “Who the fuck is Alexa?”

10. Einmal ein Bier

Bela/Beer is my new OTP

Only Die Ärzte could make a song about a man turning into beer

11. Wer verliert, hat schon verloren

That guitar solo oh my God, I think I ascended

12. Polyester

Instant Love!!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ROD I LOVE THE SMITHS

Petition for Rod to make a solo album in this style cause I WANT MORE

Petition for Rod to replace Morrissey. The world has evolved past the need for Morrissey.

That makes two of my idols telling me plastic pollution sucks

I’M GONNA WRAP MYSELF UP IN THIS SONG CAUSE IT’S SO GOOD!

13. Fexxo Cigol

THAT DIE ÄRZTE WG REFERENCE

This sounds like it could be on one of Bela’s solo albums, especially Bingo

“Wenn das Raumschiff kommt werde ich in der ersten Reihe stehen” What a mood

Bela getting off in the liner notes about how he wanted to use another word but it didn’t fit

ADRENOCHOME. Xavier Naidoo wants to know your location.

14. Liebe gegen Rechts

BANJO BANJO BANJO BANJO

Die Ärzte be like “What if made a country song about Nazis?”

DID FARIN JUST SAY TRANS RIGHTS?

Banjo, a song about nazis and trans rights all in one song. Other bands could never

Please don’t deadname your girlfriend Farin

THIS IS STUCK IN MY EAR NOW THAT FUCKING BANJO

15. Alle auf Brille

Fielmann should defo use the intro of this in their commercials

Die Ärzte be like: “What if we made an Oi-Song?”

BELA SINGING HURENSOHN! I’m here for Bela screaming Hurensohn live!

“Die Versicherung zahlte”. Stop telling lies Bela, German public healthcare will only pay if you have more than 6 dioptres or if you’re a kid. Source: I’m literally wearing glasses.

16. Thor

Chris Hemsworth stole my body. Just a normal Die Ärzte song.

Someone please send this to Chris Hemsworth

17. Leben vor dem Tod

Oh no here it comes, the song Bela said made him cry.

WHAT IF I CRIED RIGHT NOW?

WHO’S CUTTING ONIONS HERE?

FARIN YOU ABSOLUTE BASTARD

NO NOT STRINGS DON’T MAKE THIS EVEN SADDER

The lyrics could be straight from a Wolfsheim/Peter Heppner song

Please play this at my funeral, thanks

This goes into my “The Most Beautiful Songs In The World” Playlist

HELLO 911 I AM FEELING AN EMOTION

18. Woodburger

That’s their third song about gay sex, what even is this band?

Die Ärzte be like Be Gay, Do Crimes

The chorus is just them repeating the word gay???

Die Ärzte, probably the gayest straight band in the world

Gay sex against Nazis. They really said that, I can’t believe it, I’m...

Other thoughts:

I really like the transitions between the songs

Rod looks so adorable and happy on all of those pics in the booklet, he’s like “Yay, I’m with my friends and we’re making music”. 11/10, the goodest boy, must be protected at all costs.

The sound is great

(Not about the album in general) I love vinyl but the amount of dust that always gets on them is aarrggh. Luckily, my turntable is very forgiving.

This is the first 180g vinyl I own and you can tell because it’s a bit heavier than your average vinyl

Love how the genre tag in the MP3 download is just “die ärzte” and it’s not even wrong, like how else would you tag this album?
