Comment :
Been a lifelong lifelover fan but never listened to this album. Didn't like the band that much when I was a 16yo boy, but now... I think I can understand more now, especially about those lowbrow things that I looked down upon.
Anyway, when I was 16yo I knew little about the emotional calamity that modern city has brought into human psyche since I wasn't a city boy at all, back then what impressed me was something more primordial. So it is understandable from a more banal point of view why I didn't like their music - there's a certain sort of emo-ness in their music, and it felt just too fashionable to me.
This album is rather emo. Dekadens is a better album overall, but here the bleak and depressive feeling of isolation is much stronger. Of course the album that exhibits this trait the most is Erotik.
