Hi all,

Saw the CD pic on main homepage with tracklisting.

Lads, if you need a German title, be accurate with the gender unless there's a reason to be otherwise!

Spiegel is a masculine noun, hence it should be

Der Spiegel, not Das Spiegel.

Cheers, and shout out to the fans in Deutschsprachige Laender.

Hi noob!

We've already had a complete conversation about this in this post:

http://www.thechemic...age&replies=184

But thanks for posting.

MadPooter: cheers for reply. I looked at the thread, but didn't go beyond five pages. Was there any clear reason as to why it is Das not Der?

Do you reckon it will be changed in time for the official release?

I'd guess it won't change now anyway as the artwork has probably already been finished and printed.

These things niggle me a little.

Still love the Chem Bros though!

Cheers,

Parky

also importante:

tom and ed arent actually brothers!!!

think they will change their name before the new album comes out? its just not fair lying to us like that

If it wasn't deliberate it does seem a bit of a silly oversight to make... gotta be on purpose...

Who cares anyway. Germans shouldn't be allowed to have their own language after all that's happened.

it think they chose das spiegel cos it just sounds better. der spiegel maybe correct but it just doesn't have the same ring to it

Chems can do whatever the fuck they want and still rule. I thought that was pretty clear.

that is a very valid point mr reaction!

Well , i understand it sounds strange in German.

In dutch we also have different 'the' and if you put the wrong one before the word it sounds so weird !!

But yeah , Das Spiegel sounds better than Der Spiegel if you don't know German language.

haha jeanie got it spot on, it sounds good by name and hopefully on disc

legeips sad :)

Ya, good points. Here in Japan the natives call them the Scientific Siblings, cos, like, it sounds better in the Japanese language. That's cool.

hahahaha - Scientific Siblings!

I love it!!

hey Parky... r u payed?

Der Spiegel is a very important magazine from Germany (similar to Time or Newsweek)

which means 'The Mirror'...

Das Spiegel sounds sweet... and imo Das is just 4 copyright shit and that

btw who the fuck cares da name if the music rocks!

thanks Chems and imho DS is the best track!

I don't really see it as a big deal, to be honest. If it works for the Chems, then I can't complain. For example, Rize Up isn't exactly the correct speeling. And depending on where you're from, Galvanize isn't the correct spelling either.

But don't mind me. I had a xanax. And everything is just peachy. :lol:

so mexico was good, eh whirly?
