Opium fürs Volk ( Opium for the people) is the seventh studio album by the German punk band Die Toten Hosen. Although it's not considered a concept album, it has a central theme of religion (exemplified by the intro "Vaterunser", "Die zehn Gebote" and " Paradies"). It is regarded as one of the best Die Toten Hosen albums. [1] [2] The title is derived from a common misquotation of Karl Marx, who called religion the Opium of the People - Opium des Volkes.
One unreleased demo from the album surfaced in 2007 with the re-release of Auf dem Kreuzzug ins Glück.
