Review

Let me tell you about Nena's self-titled album from '83. It's a total blast from the past that really captures that New German Wave vibe. The band teamed up with some cool cats from Spliff to record it in West Berlin, and man, does it show in the sound.

You've probably heard '99 Luftballons' - it's the track that put Nena on the map worldwide. It's got this catchy tune, but don't let that fool you. The lyrics are pretty deep, talking about how a bunch of balloons could accidentally start a war. It's kind of scary when you think about it, but that's what makes it so brilliant.

But there's more to this album than just that one hit. 'Nur geträumt' is another banger that got them noticed in Germany. And 'Leuchtturm'? That song really shows off what Nena can do. The whole album is this perfect mix of pop rock, new wave, and a bit of punk thrown in for good measure. It's no wonder it made such a splash across Europe and beyond. Nena really nailed it with this one, creating a sound that defined an era. - Sienna
