One of the most well-known German bands. They started their characteristic Industrial sound with Herzeleid, which had powerful songs like "Asche Zu Asche" or "Du Riechst So Gut". Then came Sehnsucht, a musically more mature work ("Spiel Mit Mir", "Tier", "Engel") that included their hit "Du Hast". In 2001, Rammstein released their masterpiece Mutter (their best album so far in my opinion) with great songs like "Feuer Frei!", "Links 234" or "Spieluhr".
After the release of "Mutter", many Rammstein fans were disappointed, as the band recorded a blatantly weaker album called Reise, Reise. This one featured some radio-friendly songs that kept the old Rammstein sound ("Amerika", "Stein Um Stein"), but the inclusion of an annoying female voice in "Moskau", a simple rhythm with no structure in "Los" and those two ballads to finish the album ("Ohne Dich", "Amour") didn't please the broad fanbase of the band in general. Last year, their last album, Rosenrot, came to the light. It was another controversial album that features an unorthodox song sung in Spanish ("Te Quiero Puta!") and a duet with Till Lindemann and Sharleen Spiteri ("Stirb Nicht Vor Mir") among other songs.
My favourite Rammstein album is Mutter and my favourite songs by them are "Asche Zu Asche", "Feuer Frei!" and "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir" (which I find so beautiful). What do you think about this band?

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.03.2009 at 02:19 I have the original unscensored VHS... but the version that I have on my iPod is the american version of the DVD... and they are afraid of dildos.. I showed the live of Bück Dich to some of my Canadian friends and they were so shocked... they wondered how I got inside a concert where a performance like that was featured.. lol

My version of the DVD must be the uncensored version as well because it has Bück Dich. Didn't know it was censored in the States. That's just stupid

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.03.2009 at 00:45 Happened with Rein Raus. Awesome lyrics  Anyway. I just relistened to their albums, and I remain on my stateent that ther first three are their best. The others lack of something...

Written by +{Jonas}+ on 13.03.2009 at 05:33 They lack aggressiveness and that Industrial touch which the earlier albums had. Reise, Reise was still kinda good but Rosenrot is just down right awful. Rosenrot is entirely comprised out of weak and soft songs, which were present on each Rammstein album as the last 2 tracks and nobody seems to like those to. You can also clearly hear that Rosenrot was made out of leftovers, the only hard songs seem so inspire less and bland.

I agree with Petur... The three albums [especially the first 2 imo] have a really mechanical and straigh forward music. Everything is just like a kick in the face...

One thing.. listen to a song like Weisses Fleisch... then listen to the song Keine Lust... you'll feel that "something" is wrong...

Imo the last 2 albums are also pretty good, but the expectations were so high because of the 3 masterpieces they released before . But some of the newer songs are really good like for example "Mann Gegen Mann" and "Spring"

Rammstein are amazing, i have had the fortune of seeing them once years ago now. They were amazing, great showmen and entertainers. With some good albums to go with it.

Written by spoonerX on 15.03.2009 at 19:33 You're right, it's totally different than the typical Rammstein Songs but I love the atmosphere of that song, and the lyrics are also great imo, although that's nothing surprising . I also understand that many Rammstein fans don't like this song, but I think it's good if there are some different songs and not the same stuff all the time ^^

Written by spoonerX on 15.03.2009 at 19:33 Lol... that was actually one of the few highlights of the album for me along with Mann Gegen Mann and Feuer und Wasser. The song is different but good. I wanted more songs like this. It remains me a little bit of "Neben" and "Mutter". And like Diabolos said... The lyrics are quite good, better than other rammstein songs. And that says a lot since most of their lyrics are brilliant.

The atmosphere is really bad Imo.. but anyways.. I like more Feuer und wasser.. I play it with my bass guitar and it sounds like Seemann when the bass is at a higher voilume...

Seemann is the only song of Rammstein to which I can't listen

Written by spoonerX on 18.03.2009 at 03:50 Well, at least we agree that Feuer und Wasser is a good song. Although it doesn't remains me of Seemann at all.

Written by spoonerX on 22.03.2009 at 02:20 You don't need to have cancer to study it's symptoms  Tastes and ears differ... For me the melody is just different. On seeman the bass goes too fast to be similar on the one from Feuer Und Wasser. In my humble opinion of course

Even tough Rosenrot drowned my love for Rammstein in a sea of diarrhea, I still look forward to the new Rammstein album. It can't become that awful as Rosenrot.

Written by VPeter on 23.03.2009 at 23:07 Same here... Rosenrot was a mehh album with few good tracks. But I also hope that they will get better. Rosenrot was just an album full with left-over's so there's hope imo.
