The cover of the album shows a penguin who is popular amongst women. It also features "Teil 1" (Part 1) on the cover, with Verunsicherung from their name in big red letters adorning the cover (Erste Allgeneime appear below in brackets). This is an illustration of the song Küss die Hand, schöne Frau. In Liebe, Tod und Teufel the attitude of the Catholic Church against AIDS and homosexuals is attacked, while Burli contains a biting satire of nuclear power. However, some songs poke fun at Prince Charles' large ears (Ohr-Troubles).

Reception

The album reached #1 in Austria and Switzerland, for eight and two weeks respectively. It peaked at #3 in Germany.[2]

gollark: Also, yes, legacy junk.

gollark: In C++, *everything* is unsafe with no real way to stop that.

gollark: <@144182382692532224> C++ is overcomplicated, unsafe and undefinedbehaviory.

gollark: I was joking when I said "all decent games did", but it'd be cool.
