Title: BAP Has Become Old
Review: BAP is a German band singing in Kölsch which is the dialect spoken in Cologne (yes, where your eau de cologne was invented).'Aff Un Zo' might be better than its highly disappointing predecessor... but it remains clear that BAP's best times are past times.The album has nothing particular to show. OK, there is hearworthy uncomplicated rock'n'roll on 'Eddie's Radio Show' and 'Die Moritat Vun Jan Un Griet', and simple BAP pop on 'Souvenirs' - but originality is only heard on 'Mau Mau' with its cruchy guitar.The instrumentation of 'Istanbul' is really beautiful but lead singer and band boss Wolfgang Niedecken sounds old, and even though the album's title song is quite OK, it gives the impression of grandparent party. 'Noh Zahle Mohle' is directly bad.All in all there's little to recommend about 'Aff Un Zo', from some (irjenden) rock'n'roll band which surely has put its best days behind.
