My least favorite of Kraftwerk's acclaimed albums, but still great, especially "Computer Love".

I used to listen to this a lot in middle school, so that might be why I'm not as fond of it anymore.

For those who might think Kraftwerk were only relevant in the mid to late seventies: boom. Exceptional record.

This is slightly off topic, but is there a reason why we don't have the original German version for each Kraftwerk album in the database? I always found that Kraftwerk were one of those bands you had to listen to in German. "Wir sind die Rrroboterrrr" for example sounds infinitely better than "we are the robots".
Ah well, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

Regarding the album, it's probably my third favourite of theirs, behind "Trans-Europa Express" and "Die Mensch-Machine". Still, this album has some killer tracks though, the last three ones in particular.
