Original released on LP CBS 84159
(UK, 1979)
Fun fact about this album - Nina Hagen and her band couldn't stand each other before the recording, so that band wrote the music and recorded it, and Nina wrote the lyrics and recorded the singing separately. (The album title fittingly means "Uneasiness"). Paradoxically, I like this album much better. Yes, Nina Hagen's antics often are just as inane and silly as on the debut, but she seems a little more restrained, which I personally appreciate. One of the best songs on the album is the opener, "African Reggae", a fun reggae parody - yodeling and opera-singing to reggae something unheard of, and yet it works pretty well. Some other songs are also fun too - the hard-rock doggie madness "Wau Wau" is also extremely silly, but pretty funny, as is the schlager parody "Fall in Love mit mir", again with some nice reggae parts. The rest of this album is again not much more than proggish 1970s hard rock, but the band is good at it. And the closers of both album sides are nothing but fillers. After this album, Nina Hagen went on to a solo career, and the band became Spliff and released a few interesting albums.
