One of Helge's Best

This is one of the best CD's that I own. Good tracks from start to end, as is to be expected of Helge and his band Hardcore.

Really funny... not just the CD but the reviews!

I'm a German customer and I really laughed about the previous previews! I won't say that Helge Schneider made the new National Hymn for the next generation. In Germany he is one of the most beloved and most hated comedians around. I think it's difficult for Americans to understand the meanings of his jokes. The music is half good, half bad. But the humor is genius. You should buy this record when you listend to your German teacher :-)

This Album Rocks Big Time

I remember listening to this CD seven years ago in high school - it was great back then and it still rocks today. In many respects, it's Helge Schneider's best album (so far), although "Es gibt Reis" set a high standard. Of course, it's complete nonsense (Helge is all about nonsense), but if you want to get a sense of German "culture" today, there's no way around "Es rappelt im Karton." Track No. 7 ("Tropfsteinh?hle") and No. 12 ("Erziehung") have reached absolute "Kultstatus" in Germany. They are almost kafkaesque in the way they portray the world of the "small man."

Needless to say, Helge and his band are also great jazz artists. He alone plays at least five or six instruments. I think I said enough: Buy the CD and judge for yourself!
