Not Bad At All

I like Nena a lot, so i'm afraid that i will not be too objective. Nena has been great and she'll always be. Regarding this album; album is softer than the others but contains some great stuff. May 29, 2008

1st SOLO Album

This was Nena's first solo album after the band split and Nena faced a personal tragedy in her life. This is a very artistic and serious album and the songs are very inspiring. Wunder Gescheh'n and Wach Auf are my absolute favorites, but Hero and Du bist Uberall are up there too! What a terrific album! I love it! ... February 2, 2003

Excellent.

It seems that Nena always want to do something different. If you thought Nena was only "99 Luftballons", think twice, when you listen to this album you'll be surprised. There are many jewels on this album, but specially "Du bist überall" and "Steht auf". With "Hero", you'll fall in love with her. If you live in Mexico, and all over the world, I recommend this to everyone. April 23, 2001

Review from a Philippine Nena fan Who Understands German

This is Nena's( i.e. Gabriele Susanne Kerner's ) first solo album after the original Nena band broke up and it contains not only German-language songs, but also English-language and French-language songs( i.e. "Hero" and "La Vie C'est La Chance", respectively ). The variety of the songs involves both reflective and insightful songs and the most insightful of all the songs is undoubtedly "Wunder gescheh'n". In the song "Schlaflied" lies an extremely unique introduction: Nena and her mother are communicating as an infant communicates with its mother. Although it is the shortest song in the album, it has a lot of insight. Hence, I highly recommend this album to those who appreciate this insights in songs. June 8, 2000
