"This is practically the embodiment of a perfect album. Other albums I've listened to sometimes become old or tiresome to listen to after the first few plays because the sound of the instruments or the theme of the lyrics are too monotonous. This happens NEVER on "Zufrieden?" The sound is constantly changing, each song just sounds unique. It's as though the Puhdys crafted each one with individual souls.



The songs range from harder (such as "Es Ist schön ein Mensch zu sein" and "Totale Immunität") to softer, more relaxing songs (like "Wüstensand" and "Ich hab' ein Gefühl"). And it's not that important to speak German when listening, as many of the songs convey their meaning very well through the instruments, and of course the lyrics are included with the album if you feel the need to translate it at some point. At a quick glance, the album's the kind that will appeal to all rock fans, but if you really listen to it, each song also has immense potential to please everyone according to their own reasons and tastes.



There's literally no bad song on this album... Even if I were to name one, it would be comparable to pointing out a certain model of Ferrari as "bad" lined up to Lambourghinis and Porsches, it's still a friggin' nice car. I highly recommend this album if you have even the slightest interest in rock. Great purchase. 5/5"

Excellent!

"This CD is awsome! It has it all, slow relaxing songs if you want them, or fast paced rock songs if you prefer those as well. This CD does not have one bad track on it, you will enjoy them all. I recommend this CD to anyone who likes good ol' fashioned rock."

Still Rock'in

"Are you a bit weary of Falco? Heard 99 luft ballons one to many times? Check this out! These guys have been doing this for a long time and it shows. They are a medium to hard rock band with some beautiful 12 string guitar and synth work. Excellent lyrics, great chorus' to get you singin along. My favorite song is "Ich hab' ein Gefuehl" with "Totale Immunitaet" coming in a close second. What more can I say about this album, I love it, and if you don't get it your going to be missing out."
