German punk rock veterans Betontod released their brand new full length whose title means We’ve Only Just Started! I must admit this is the first time I have listened to this band and I liked what I heard. This one contains thirteen songs of punk and rock songs most of them being in German language which is not a problem for me, because I am fluent in German since my high school days. Some of the songs I liked more, some less, so the opener All die schonen Menschen(All The Pretty People) didn’t work out for me a lot. But, there are couple of hits after that, one of them being Du killst mich(You Are Killing Me), having an anthemic and catchy chorus just made for singing along at gigs. You can also hear a little keyboard work in Alles fur den Content(All For Content). If you are looking for fast and raw punk here you won’t find one. But, if you love more rock side of punk with quality songwriting, you will love this one. Most of the songs have anthemic and grand choruses, lyrics are smart and personal, but well written too. As couple of my personal highlights I must also name the title song, also beautiful Fur dich(For You), Keep Calm And Carry On and Vielleicht sind wir die Letzten(Maybe We Are Last). I like this album.
