Awsome, just awsome

I have over a hundred cd's and this is my favorate. There is nothing like this in america. Everytime I listen to it, i'm impressed. If you can't speak any german, you'll still enjoy it. And those of us that can speak german will absolutely melt when they listen to it. This album is the best thing I have ever heard

Superb!!!!!!

Beautiful melodies, Great voices, Awsome A-Capella abilities, Clever lyrics, And just pure fun!!!
Die Prinzen will make you simply fall in love with the German language and music, even if you cannot understand one single word in German.
My first Experience with Die Prinzen was back in 1993, when I opened the TV and was amazed to see a song in German played all the time on my MTV, it was "Alles nur geklaut". I did not understand one word in German back then and still I simply fell in love with this song and kept tracking the releases of Die Prinzen ever since.
When this album was released as a hits collection of the band, I knew that buying it would be the smartest thing I'll ever do. This CD contains all of Die Prinzen's greatest hits, and give you a real taste of the unique music this band makes, combining modern rock music with their wonderful a-capella abilities.
"Kuessen verboten" - their first hit, is here, as well as the smash hit "(Du musst ein) Schwein sein", and of course, the all-time classic "Alles nur geklaut".
The lyrics Die Prinzen write to their songs are sarcastic, very clever, and also funny, in an attempt to give us a new way to look at life, from the eyes of former East-Germans. The best example for that in my opinion can be found in the songs "Alles nur geklaut" and "Schwein sein".
When I decided to go and study German, this album helped me A LOT, and I'm not just saying that.
I can assure you that even if you don't understand one word in German, you will ADORE this CD and this band, because of the great music that they make, music you can't compare to any other artist I think, not in Germany, and of course, nowhere else...
Don't hasitate, go out and order it, it's worth it, and you'll love it!!!
Auf wiedersehn!!

They are funny, but of perfect harmony of voices!

Die Prinzen is one of my favourite groups. There are some reasons why I like them. Firstly, they can sing in various styles. Secondly, they are usually very humorous, often very witty, sometimes very serious. They can sing not only funny satires or comical stories, but also a little sorrowful lovesick songs. Above all, they have an outstanding merit, that is to say, perfect harmony of voices. Sometimes very dynamic, sometimes very calm.

In this "GANZ OBEN" album, they gathered their hit songs from their debut to 1997. Therefore, I can find many favourite songs. Furthermore, there are some songs which one cannot hear in any other albums of theirs, and some of them ("In der nacht ist der Mensch nicht gern alleine," "Sandmännchen," "Schlottersteinhymne,") are very enjoyable. Singing "GANZ OBEN," they cheer up not-so-smart boys. In "Junimond," they sing a vacant heart of a man whose love was over. In addition, one can hear the live-version of "Abgehau'n." This live-version is a little more calm than the original version, therefore this "Abgehau'n" is also very charming in a way.

In conclusion, I can say with confidence that "GANZ OBEN" is also a must-buy item, even for a person who already has all the original albums of Die Prinzen.
