Search - Die Ärzte :: Arzte Ab 18

Nice old cd

"It's a pity that you can't buy this CD in Germany, when you are below 18, that's why this record is called "ab 18". It contains only seven songs, but these songs are finest punk-rock with funny lyrics. My favorite song is "Geschwisterliebe" which was recorded on a concert and "Sweet Sweet Gwendoline". The big disadvantage is the price; it's as expensive as a normal record with more than 15 songs, and some of these few songs I owned already on the CD "Debil". But besides the prize it's a very nice CD, so I choose 4 stars."

Genial!!!

"Dieses Album ist genial! In Deutschland ist es verboten, daher habe ich es hier erworben! Es sind ein paar wenige Tracks auf der CD, das tut ihr allerdings keinen Abbruch! 100% Recommended!!! TOP."

Short, but entertaining

"This record (first issued in 1987) contains all the songs that were the cause for the lp's "Debil" and "Die Ärzte" to be put on the index (i.e. in Germany they may not be bought by or given to persons aged under 18... even today): "Claudia I" plus its successor "Claudia II"; the infamous "Schlaflied"; or perhaps the most offending Ärzte song ever, "Geschwisterliebe". The compilation is completed by some new tracks, e.g. "Helmut K." (which deals with former German chancellor Helmut Kohl beating up his poor wife and so on...). It's amazing how tame most songs on "Ab 18" sound today, as you encounter themes worse than these almost everywhere in the news. It's all quite entertaining, but for a fully-priced record, seven songs are really too few - three-star rating, though."
