The band's first album, released in 1987, featured a more polished sound than their earlier independent recordings. The album was initially banned in Germany.
- The album was released on the independent label V.I.E.R. Ton & Merch GmbH. It was later re-recorded and re-released in 1991 as "Onkelz wie wir (Neu)". The original release was banned by the German Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons (BPjM).
- This album marked a shift in the band's musical direction, incorporating more melodic elements and cleaner production compared to their previous works. Despite its controversial content, it laid the groundwork for their future success.
- The album's original release faced significant backlash due to its perceived antisocial and violent lyrics, leading to its inclusion on the BPjM's index of harmful media. This censorship, however, arguably fueled the band's dedicated fanbase.
