Tocotronic - Wie Wir Leben Wollen
Review by Alex James
Tocotronic's album Wie Wir Leben Wollen is a stunningly introspective and thought-provoking work of art. The band deftly blends elements of indie rock, post-punk, and electronic music to create a sound that is both vibrant and melancholic. The lyrics are deeply personal and explore themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Electric Guitar", which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The track is a slow-burning ballad that builds to a cathartic climax, showcasing the band's ability to create powerful emotional moments through music. Other standout tracks include the upbeat and catchy "Bis Uns Das Licht Vertreibt" and the brooding and atmospheric "Hey Du".
One of the most impressive things about Wie Wir Leben Wollen is how well it flows as a complete album. Each track seamlessly transitions into the next, creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience. The production is also top-notch, with every instrument and sound carefully crafted to create the perfect mood for each song.

außerdem finde ich schon, dass sie sich künstlerisch weiterentwickelt haben .. also versteh ich nicht wirlich wie die vielen negativen Kommentare zusammenkommen.
Aber hey .. jeder geschmack ist halt anders
Finde eigentlich alle Lieder von Tocotronic sehr gut. Das Phänomen ist, dass manche Lieder besser gefallen, je öfter man sie hört (im Gegensatz zu anderen Bands^^). Ich war vor kurzem auf einem Konzert in Heidelberg und hatte erst Angst, dass sie keine alten Lieder spielen würden, aber dann ging das neue Album auch ziemlich ab. Die Tocos haben eindeutig Suchtfaktor :D
kann nicht fassen, was aus diesen bands geworden ist.
kiergegaardize it. gimme love!
NO FUCKING WAY!
