In a Class of Their Own
Dec 7 2004
Format:Audio CD
This album is a "greatest hits" album. It includes songs from most of the band's previously released albums. The sound is velvety smooth. If you like harmonizing voices, you'll love Die Prinzen. And, if you know a bit of German, you may enjoy the lyrics even more than the melodies. This band is truly world class. The Nylons or the Beach Boys come closest to mind in terms of a comparison. But, in terms of sheer polish, precision, and interesting lyrics this band is in a class of its own. It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world discovers these guys and then watch out.

What a Group! What an Album!
July 21 2000
Format:Audio CD
This is a MUST buy for anyone who loves good music and great harmonies, even if you don't understand German! Die Prinzen (The Princes) are 5 incredibly talented men from Lipzig, Germany who have created a sound that's so cool and alive, you'll be amazed when you realize that most of the songs are just their voices against a drum track! If you like the sound of Queen and are impressed with the vocalizations of the a capella group Take 6, this is one album you will love! And if you understand German, you'll appreciate the funny and entertaining lyrics. Even if you don't know much about harmonies or speak any German (I don't...I had to have someone translate the songs for me), you too will love this album! The songs are upbeat and fun to listen to. I highly recommend this album to everyone who wants to hear some great songs and add a little flavor to their musical collection. This CD is particularly great for first time buyers/listeners of Die Prinzen because it is the Group's Greatest Hits album. It has a lot of tracks and a great sampling of their songs. Die Prinzen is not your everyday group, and that's what makes them so great! Just look at the other reviews - they are all 5 stars! I really love this album and would be willing to bet that you will too!

Superb!!!!!!
Dec 1 2001
Format:Audio CD
Beautiful melodies, Great voices, Awsome A-Capella abilities, Clever lyrics, And just pure fun!!!
Die Prinzen will make you simply fall in love with the German language and music, even if you cannot understand one single word in German.
My first Experience with Die Prinzen was back in 1993, when I opened the TV and was amazed to see a song in German played all the time on my MTV, it was "Alles nur geklaut". I did not understand one word in German back then and still I simply fell in love with this song and kept tracking the releases of Die Prinzen ever since.
When this album was released as a hits collection of the band, I knew that buying it would be the smartest thing I'll ever do. This CD contains all of Die Prinzen's greatest hits, and give you a real taste of the unique music this band makes, combining modern rock music with their wonderful a-capella abilities.
"Kuessen verboten" - their first hit, is here, as well as the smash hit "(Du musst ein) Schwein sein", and of course, the all-time classic "Alles nur geklaut".
The lyrics Die Prinzen write to their songs are sarcastic, very clever, and also funny, in an attempt to give us a new way to look at life, from the eyes of former East-Germans. The best example for that in my opinion can be found in the songs "Alles nur geklaut" and "Schwein sein".
When I decided to go and study German, this album helped me A LOT, and I'm not just saying that.
I can assure you that even if you don't understand one word in German, you will ADORE this CD and this band, because of the great music that they make, music you can't compare to any other artist I think, not in Germany, and of course, nowhere else...
Don't hasitate, go out and order it, it's worth it, and you'll love it!!!
Auf wiedersehn!!

They are funny, but of perfect harmony of voices!
Sep 22 2000
Format:Audio CD
Die Prinzen is one of my favourite groups. There are some reasons why I like them. Firstly, they can sing in various styles. Secondly, they are usually very humorous, often very witty, sometimes very serious. They can sing not only funny satires or comical stories, but also a little sorrowful lovesick songs. Above all, they have an outstanding merit, that is to say, perfect harmony of voices. Sometimes very dynamic, sometimes very calm.
In this "GANZ OBEN" album, they gathered their hit songs from their debut to 1997. Therefore, I can find many favourite songs. Furthermore, there are some songs which one cannot hear in any other albums of theirs, and some of them ("In der nacht ist der Mensch nicht gern alleine," "Sandmännchen," "Schlottersteinhymne,") are very enjoyable. Singing "GANZ OBEN," they cheer up not-so-smart boys. In "Junimond," they sing a vacant heart of a man whose love was over. In addition, one can hear the live-version of "Abgehau'n." This live-version is a little more calm than the original version, therefore this "Abgehau'n" is also very charming in a way.
In conclusion, I can say with confidence that "GANZ OBEN" is also a must-buy item, even for a person who already has all the original albums of Die Prinzen.
