It took a few listens, but this CD has finally started to grow on me! Let me try to describe each track: First off, No Time for Revolution is a powerful protest song, certainly different than anything else Falco has ever done. It's gritty and hard-hitting, sung entirely in English. The video is also great. Catch it on YouTube if you can. Out of the Dark is a brilliant, powerful ballad, sung partly in German, partly in English. Sounds like he's reflecting on his own life in this song. Great guitar solo midway through. Shake is a pleasant pop tune, though not really one of my faves. Perhaps I need to listen to it a few more times. Der Kommissar 2000 is not bad, though this song has been remixed a lot. There are better remixes out there, but I'll always prefer the original. Mutter, Der Mann Mit Dem Koks Ist Da is a fast-paced song. This one took a while to grow on me, but I like it. Now, the song Hit Me is a pretty heavy, hard hitting song (no pun intended). There's a video on YouTube which shows the lyrics translated to English. The lyrics are kind of shocking, with one of the lines saying something like "the beast in you belongs to me now". And there's a woman groaning in the song. I think once you read the lyrics, you'll know what this song is about. It's a great song and Falco was certainly a versatile artist and risk taker. As for Cyberlove, I actually love this song! Some reviewers seem to think it's cheesy, but I think it's great! Very danceable! And it's great that Falco knew about the Internet before he died. Egoist is another Falco classic. It's all in German, but I actually understand most of the lyrics. Naked on the other hand is probably my least-fave song on this CD. I think it's actually pretty cheesy and not one of his finer moments. Finally, Geld is a hidden track and it's a pretty good song. All in all, I recommend this CD very highly. R.I.P. Falco. You are missed.
