I tend to think of Kraftwerk's career trajectory as a kind of bell-curve, building towards the landmark releases of Radio-Activity and Trans Europe Express, and from there it starts heading downhill again. It's not a bad album, by any means, but it's not one I dig out often, it feels slighter to me. There's something really special about the two which preceded it, a perfect mix of innovation, concept, and pop sensibility. To me, that mix feels more weighted to the pop sensibility, and the concept and innovation feel lesser. Sometimes, I think I even prefer Computer World, where the concept is stronger, and the dry humour comes through more strongly.
*Edit - I guess many would put Autobahn in that top-tier, too, but I find the pop sensibility lagging behind the concept there. It's clever, but I don't love it.

Doesn't do a lot for me either, kind of washes over me somewhat. Title track is fabulous of course.

You mean track 12?
That was a huge mistake to add that track/mix! For me it ruin the album, feels like an afterthought and a pressure to add it as never been on an album so far......
Love most of the album though!
Guess the live version of some of the tracks are way better imho
