Or name says it all. It takes great courage to title his work as self-critical. Züri West dares this with their latest CD. I would not describe myself as Züri West fan but I like the sound Kunos and texts as well as the attitude of the Züri West. That is why I buy the new album blindly - without a listen first. In City Disc - I think the last good independent music store and had to give way so a cool cafe with cool prices. Item. Blind bought home a few times, pushed as a background sound in the player, now on my iPod. The advantage of the iPod, you can hear the music properly. For Kuno and his friends in this case is not necessarily an advantage. The sound is as always, a little calmer, relaxed. The lyrics are naja. I'm disappointed. Without listening to the songs finished, I turn to the next one, in the hope that it's going now - far from it. Too bad.
