About the album

Crazy World, according to DoReSol

Among the most notable tracks is "Wind of Change", which became an anthem of the era, reaching the fourth position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1991. The lyrics of this song, written by Klaus Meine, capture the spirit of change that was sweeping the world, especially in Europe. Another relevant single is "Send Me an Angel", which also received a positive reception, climbing to the 44th spot on the same chart. Additionally, the album includes "Kicks After Six", notable for being the only song in which bassist Francis Buchholz is credited as a co-writer.

Crazy World was not only a commercial success, reaching number one in Germany and achieving silver certification in the United Kingdom, but it also became the second best-selling album by the band in the United States, after Love at First Sting. This work is remembered for its ability to emotionally connect with listeners, and its legacy continues to thrive in contemporary music.
