"Ballast der Republik" plus Jubiläums-Album "Die Geister, die wir riefen"

Ballast der Republik is a 2012 album by the German punk band Die Toten Hosen. It was their first studio album since 2008's In aller Stille. In order to commemorate the band's 30th anniversary, the album was also released as a special edition with a second CD, titled Die Geister, die wir riefen, containing 15 cover versions of songs and literature by artists that influenced and inspired the members of the band. The name 'Ballast der Republik' is wordplay, alluding to the Palast der Republik, the parliament building of communist East Germany. A single release of "Altes Fieber" was successful and appeared on the Billboard Hits of the World chart for Germany.
