There is much talk of planting fruiting trees on city streets to provide a source of free food to the people so they may eat. But there is much less talk of planting poisoning plants on city streets, to provide a free source of poison to the people, so they may assassinate their enemies. Why is this? Think about it, my kittens. These are the questions they don’t want us asking. Ask why they don’t want you to ask.



Die Ärzte are not very well known outside of German speaking countries, but over here they are one of the most iconic bands. Starting in the early 80s and going until today through various shifts in style, making massive impacts on the German understandings of punk, pop, rock and everything in between. Ever since the rise of digital music, they have put a lot of effort into making sure that their fans who are still willing to buy physical releases actually get something for their money, and with their fantastic abilities to think outside the box they have come up with some really unique packagings for their albums since. I have the CDs, but all the albums have also been available on vinyl, where the packaging is the same, just bigger.

A little while back I have made a very elaborate post on their CD singles where I also described the packaging quite in detail, but what they're really noteworthy for is the full length album packaging. So that's what this post is.
