Very good voice and interesting lyrics. German language has never sound so nice before... Best buy for anyone looking for new German Rock.

Slbermond is a terrific rock band. I was playing Verschwende deine Zeit on my cd player and the valet who parked the car goes "Man, that's a great band, what language are they playing in?" Aside from the point that he should have recognized German, the fact that the valet immediately loved the song tells a lot about two things (1) how starved Americans are for good rock and roll and (2) this is a great rock and roll album. Symphonie is of course terrific for anyone with a broken heart. Nicht Verdient is terrifically funny social satire (think Jack Black "Tribute" or Styx "Grand Illusion)." Silbermond is a great band and this is a very good rock and roll album.

I first heard of this band whilst visting family in the british army in germany. Every record shop i went into had this album out all over the place. Aesthetically speaking the band looked the part. With my basic knowledge of german i figured out the title was Wasting your time. This appealed to my state of mind at the time being so bought the album for the bargin of 9 euro, figuring if i didn't like it could fob it off on my mate kate who is into all that avril lavigne guff. The album was surprisingly great. the guitars sounded fantastic and stefanies voice is fantastic. I would recommend this album to anyone it rocks and then some

This is an excellent CD. There is really only one song I don't care for (Immer am Limit), but the rest are great. I particulary liked Durch die Nacht where the lead singer sounds a bit like Jewel, Symphonie, and Ohne Dich. Symphonie to my mind is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, and I can only understnad bits and pieces of it. It is a break up song and you can hear the heartbreak in her voice. Ohne Dich is more up tempo and I knew I was going to like it when I heard the line, "Es geht Mir gut, ohne Dich (I'm doing good, without you!)". With what is going on in my personal life at the time, I like it! I will be looking for more from Silbermond in the future

This is Silbermonds first record, and you can tell from this there going to be around for a long time. The songs are wanderful:)

Sometimes I feel unfortunately that in the U.S. we are cutting ourselves off from great music and artists coming from other countries. And to that, finding great German music is incredibly difficult, compared to someone who lives in the U.K. or Europe. I first heard this group a while back and for a while searched for this CD. Thank goodness for this being available on Amazon, you can't even buy this CD on Itunes, unless you're German. Fantastic CD excellent group, and the lyrics are some of the most beautiful poetic, lines I have heard in German music. I hope more Americans listen to groups like this, they have no Idea what they are missing out on. Five stars and well earned.

Great songs. Kinda poppy sometimes, but not TOO poppy, like Britney Spears or anything like that. Some songs are more rock than anything else. Definitely a great buy.
