A good album but don't start here.

The newest CD from Germany's best-ever band is good, and does have some of their best stuff, but if you're not yet fimilar with Der Onkelz they do have better albums. These would be good places to start: "Evil People Evil Music" (1985), "Bar Terrorists" (88),

"Holy Songs" (92), "Here Are the Onkelz" (95), "Viva Los Tioz" (98- availible via Amazon!) and, especially "EINS" (96).

But, like I said "Dopamin" is good. It combines a progressive Metallica sound with a power punk approach of later Ramones.



(8/5/04- Since that writing the Onkelz have just released a new album: "Adios". Judging from the title this is to be there swansong. "Adios" deserves FIVE stars! If this is their final CD they've gone out with a winner! God bless the Onkelz!)

Awesome!

... I love these guys ... they're some of the most versatile rockers out there ... They can do hard hitting punk with "Narben," Country-Rock with "Wieder Mal 'nen tag Verschenkt," Rock ballad with "Nichts ist f?r Immer Da," and some heavy stuff with "Danke F?r Nichts." Not only do they do an awesome job at Heavy music, but they can mix with more mellow, subdued songs such as "Ich Bin in Dir," and they have awesome progressions such as "Nichts ist F?r Die Ewigkeit." I love these guys; although "Dopamin" is quite different from their earlier stuff, it shows yet another facet of their talent. CHECK IT OUT!!!

Just awsome album

Die Onkelz did it again... musically, they have a language of their own. it helps to understand what they are saying but if not, their music is very enjoyble. JUST GET the CD and you will know what i mean. even my conservative, anti-rock parents learned to like them....
