Finally, they yielded to their fans dearest wish and will be producing the much desired Acoustic II album, pre-financing the enterprise via pledge music. Amazingly enough, the original pledge was fulfilled within 24 hours of its publication. Which says something for the band's unflagging popularity, even if I have heard true goths mutter that they are mutating into a bloody classical act, a far cry from the agonized "Love me to the End". Which may be very true, but then again, Deine Lakaien hardly ever cared for gothic sympathy but went for musical skill, instead.
If their music sounds differently today than it did some twenty years ago, so much the better, I'd say. Music is an everchanging adventure and if you are looking for quality, you simply cannot go and produce the same sound over and again.
To illustrate my point:
and this is where they are today (the Lakaien part of the Finnish show begins at 8:10min ... with the One Night Single and even includes an interview with the gentlemen)
