"Jazz ist anders" [Jazz is different] is Die Ärzte's eleventh full-length studio album since Geräusch. It was released on November 2nd, 2007. The album has a bonus-EP with 3 songs about Die Ärzte and a hidden track. This is the first album after "Debil", that Die Ärzte produced alone. The cover is a reference to the most consumed food during their studio sessions - pizza [ [http://www.nzz.ch/nachrichten/kultur/aktuell/pizza_haelt_uns_seit_25_jahren_zusammen_1.575841.html "Pizza hält uns seit 25 Jahren zusammen"] - NZZ-Interview from 2007-10-25] . The whole packaging looks like a pizza box, the CD itself has the picture of a pizza on it and the bonus EP available on their website is accessible using a code printed on paper in the shape of a green pepper. The EP looks like a tomato slice. The album has been criticized for not being as funny, as one would expect from Die Ärzte, though it was very warmly received by fans.

The "Economy" version CD-s were sold on the concerts of the "Es wird eng" tour. The vinyl version is available from dealers.

On this version there are humorous changed versions of the 16 songs from "Jazz ist anders". Also, after the last song, a mangled "„Was hat der Junge doch für Nerven“" (from "Im Schatten der Ärzte") is put as a hidden track.

The CD looks like the backside of a pizza. The CD-Text features different jokes for titles; some are altered titles, some "hidden messages" and some totally disconnected longer jokes. Instead of lyrics, other jokes are present.

Economy versions of the bonus EP songs and some of the B-sides were released as B-sides to "Jazz ist anders" singles.
