This is some of the best music I have heard in a long time. I'm not a big fan of rock and other popular music, mostly because I often don't agree with the lyrics-- they just don't speak to me! But Wir Sind Helden has amazing lyrics; they're not about love and sappy stuff, but about important things. And yet, they manage to sing about important stuff in a deliciously comic way! Just some examples (translated):
"See, the moon built herself a telescope with which she looks into our room at night-- who would have thought that the moon would do such a thing?" -Die nacht.
"Must I always have to do what I can? One hand holds the world and the other offers drinks. I can put my ten feet in twenty doors and perform ballet with the eleventh in my nose." -Müssen Nur Wollen.
I invariably find myself singing along to this uplifting, whimsical music. The lead singer has a great voice and the tunes are creative, catchy and never repetitive. Of course, it's difficult to appreciate this album if you don't understand german-- but if you do, and you haven't heard Wir Sind Helden yet, you're definitely missing out!
