Baustelle’s fourth album Amen is seen as a step backward compared to their earlier work. The larger budget led to overproduced and dragging tracks, undermining the band's earlier lo-fi charm. While vocal harmonies occasionally shine, the album is weighed down by poor lyrics and excessive, convoluted arrangements. Ultimately, it’s considered a missed opportunity with unfulfilled potential. Explore Baustelle's Amen to discover its highs and lows—listen in and judge the missed potential yourself!
