Rated 7/10

It doesn't have the evergreens like their previous albums, but it's still a very good album in the history of Yugoslavian hard rock. The opener "Ciganka" (Gypsy) and "Let Na Drugi Cvijet" (Flight to Another World) are standouts with Alens characteristic vocals and Zeles, sometimes overindulgent, guitar playing. The rest of the album also slaps, with some sensual ballads for the boys mixed with the hard rocking sexual riffages, but falls victim to being a bit samey at times. As is with most attempts to write an English lyric song, the song "Touch Me Little Girl" falls flat on its face, sadly. Nonetheless, a fine swan song from Alen, as after this album, he leaves Divlje Jagode to start a solo career, moving away from his heavy metal roots and into pop-folk territory.
