Nothing will be done to cure the ears of the Grobschnitt fans with this exceptionally weak album.

After the poor "Illegal", the band will dig even lower with "Razzia". I have never been able to bear German lyrics (soory about this) and the worse is experienced with this release.

Some of the weakest hard-rock you can imagine ("Schweine Im Weltall") with a synth pop tint , totally useless. But the whole of this album is a completely waste of time. Basic German rock with the most stupid vocal work you can think of.

Don't try to find any prog feeling with this album. There aren't any. The popish "Poona-Express" is no antidote : I just can't stand it. The eighties were not the greatest for prog bands, but really "Grobschnitt" fell extremely low in their creative work. Because they were creative, believe me.

But that' s all gone now. Pulverized, finished.

The nadir is probably reached with "Wir Wollen Sterben". Awful beat, dreadful vocals. Press next; but I guess that if you reach this song, the next key has no secret for you any longer, unfortunately because the band released such great albums that it is really pitiful to listen to such a poor offering.

"Razzia" (like the previous Illegal) is to be avoided at all cost. Shame on you "Grobschnitt". Not a single song of interest here. And to have listened to almost nine minutes of the title track was quite a torture (only the last and spacey minute breaks with the whole). I am just doing so to be able to depict it. But since it is the last one from this album, I can not be more happy to have finished this review. One of the most painful of my reviewer life.

One star of course (but it easily deserves zero). Just listen to this album if you don't believe me. But I warned you.
