Untitled seventh studio album by the German Neue Deutsche Härte band, and their first since 2009's 'Liebe ist für alle da'. The album includes the singles 'Deutschland', 'Radio' and 'Ausländer'. Review: Rammstein return with a surprising, but unsurprisingly great album! - I was looking forward to this album arriving as soon as the 'Deutschland' video dropped. That song sounded like pure Rammstein to me, heavy, melodic, dark and with a heavy keyboard / electronic influence. I was expecting the album to continue with that same sound, but Rammstein being Rammstein...you can never really predict which way exactly they're going. Although, the album's reception has been both critically and commercially successful, I had heard some rumblings that they had 'gone pop' - which isn't true, but this is a noticeably different sounding Rammstein and it's probably their least guitar-driven album so far, riff-wise anyway. Saying that, some people have said that the guitars are gone completely..which simply isn't true, both 'Radio' and 'Tattoo' are (after 'Deutschland') very much riff driven songs. 'Puppe' is guitar driven, but in a different way to what we're used to from them, it's not as 'sledgehammer to the head' heavy and obvious like 'Sonne' or 'Mein Teil', but rather subtle and hauntingly heavy...creeping almost. I personally keep returning to 'Weit weg', which sounds like a psychedelic Deep Purple keyboard riff on steroids, which kind of encapsulates the whole album for me - more electronic driven than usual but still with that pounding Guitar/Bass/Drums combination driving it forward and harder. 'Auslander' is similar and equally great too, but somehow also the 'poppiest' track here. At 46 minutes it's a great length, I have had this CD in my car for the last couple of weeks and so listen to it daily, with no intention of removing it yet, so replay value is high - just don't listen to it once, it's a grower and needs a few listens to 'get.' It's not perfect though, I found the track 'Sex' to be quite average really, kind of like 'Pussy' part two, just not as good and sounding pretty generic, like an atypical sleazy Marilyn Manson number, it's ok, it's just there. 'Diamant' is probably the band's most mellow moment ever, it's more or less a straight up ballad and it's pretty good, but, not to every fan of the band's taste. Overall, a very welcome, if slightly out of left field return from one of our best loved metal bands. Don't expect 'Reise, Reise!' Part Two, just give it time and you WILL love it! Review: Solid 4-Star Album but an extra for the Vinyl Format - Firstly, to those complaining about any band's album not being 'Heavy Enough', what a strange point of view. Music is music, metal is a wide-ranging genre that thrives on pushing boundaries and evolving and, as bands age, they usually mellow. If your mindset is that music 'has to be heavier', go and listen to a heavier album by another band that have not reached the stage in their career when they want to expand musically and stop whining. Rant over 😉 This is the first Rammstein album I've bought since 'Rosenrot' for no other reason than I have more music than I have time to listen. On first play, its excellent, the sound of a mature band who are making music for enjoyment and to be musical, combining pop choruses with an overall heavy sound. Its filled with hooks, catchy choruses and great riffs, which provides a contrasting background to Till Linderman's low-growl, almost spoken-word style. Backing vocals are worked into the songs well and keyboards provide anything from classical sounds to 'techno-lite' and work really well, adding some musicality to the overall sound. After first play, I've come back for more and had a good few of the songs, riffs and hooks stuck in my head, always a sign of a decent album. Its one I will keep playing and coming back to. 4 stars is not derogatory, I just reserve that for mind blowing one-offs. This is a great album and my collection is all the better for it. The Vinyl itself is well priced by comparison, plays at 45 rpm on 4 sides and is nicely designed. There are 6 x 12x12 art print photos of each band member, gatefold inner and 2 Lyric and notes inner sleeves. Nice to know that a band puts out a good package without charging a fortune, so overall this is 5 Stars for me. 👍

An Awesome Album Beautifully Rendered and Packaged
Do you like Depeche Mode and Wagner? Do you like your band to sound not unlike the Luftwaffe over Coventry? Rammstein is the band for you. Blending Wagnerian loftiness, Depeche Mode like melodies, teutonic, driving guitars, and growled baritone vocals, Rammstein have become a band bigger than all of the other German bands put together. Controversial, thought provoking and specialising in holding progressive views directly opposed the most common first impressions of the band, Rammstein have a surprisingly cerebral offering in this, their untitled seventh studio album which was released in May 2019 and reached No. 1 in fourteen countries. In the first week alone in Germany, it moved 260,000 album-equivalent units, making it the best-performing album in the first week from a band in the 21st century. The single match on the cover is a sly reference to their well known live pyrotechnics and the album as a whole is replete with references to the best parts of the last few decades since they first performed together in 1994, but with a few surprises. Top tracks: Do not expect any English lyrics on this album but do expect a tribute to Kraftwerk (Germany’s 2nd biggest band?) on “Radio”, a thinly veiled criticism of their homeland in “Deutschland” and a 180 degree turn against what you might otherwise think on their third single entitled “Ausländer” (Foreigner).

Dieses Mal haben sich die Jungs von RAMMSTEIN ja ordentlich Zeit gelassen, um einen Nachfolger von „Liebe ist für alle da“ zu präsentieren. Außer diversen Kompilationen und Live-Veröffentlichungen war nichts von den Berlinern zu hören, ich persönlich hatte die Hoffnung auf neues Material fast schon aufgegeben. Immer wieder aufkommende Trennungsgerüchte stimmten mich diesbezüglich auch nicht unbedingt optimistisch. Das alles scheint aber vom Tisch zu sein und heuer, mit zehnjährigem Anlauf, ist es endlich soweit, das neueste RAMMSTEIN-Langeisen dreht munter seine Runden in meinem Player. Selten habe ich mich im Vorfeld so auf ein Album gefreut, wie auf dieses. Es scheint so, als ob Amazon das geahnt hätte, denn das Album war schon einen Tag eher in meinem Briefkasten – danke dafür! ;-) Insofern läuft das Teil nun auch schon seit gestern ununterbrochen, dreht unermüdlich seine Runden und macht mich fix und fertig! Warum? Weil das Teil einfach gigantisch gut ist, RAMMSTEIN hören da auf, wo sie vor einer Dekade mit „Liebe ist für alle da“ aufgehört haben. RAMMSTEIN provozieren, sie ecken an und treiben den scheinbar moralisch überlegenen „Bessermenschen“ die Zornesröte ins Gesicht. Das Getöse, das die vorab veröffentlichte Single „Deutschland“ und das entsprechende Video verursacht haben, spottet jeder Beschreibung. Das RAMMSTEIN Marketing-Profis sind, dürfte wohl inzwischen jedem klar sein, spätestens seit dem letzten Album, und dem Coup, den sie mit „Pu**y“ und dem entsprechenden Video gelandet haben, sollte das jedem klar sein. Dasselbe Marketingkonzept haben sie jetzt auch wieder angewandt – und es hat perfekt funktioniert! RAMMSTEIN haben vorab einfach eine Single veröffentlicht, diese „Deutschland“ getauft und sich im Video KZ-Kleider angezogen – fertig! Das alleine reicht schon, um in Deutschland kollektive Schnappatmung hervorzurufen, die eigentliche Botschaft des Liedes interessiert da schon gar niemanden mehr. Fakt ist, RAMMSTEIN spielen mit den Medien, sie treiben sie quasi vor sich her und die springen auch brav über jedes Stöckchen, das ihnen die Band hinhält. Dazu kommen dann verschiedene Verbände, Politiker und Historiker, die wieder einmal Grenzen entdeckt haben, die „angeblich“ überschritten wurden. Wie auch immer, denn Fans dürfte es egal gewesen sein, denn die Single „Deutschland“ schoss ungebremst auf die Pole Position der Charts – allen Kritikern zum Trotz. Dasselbe darf man wohl auch vom neuesten Langeisen der Berliner erwarten, dass wohl, wie kein zweites Album, von den Fans mit großer Ungeduld erwartet wurde. Die vorab veröffentlichte Single „Deutschland“ sollte inzwischen hinlänglich bekannt sein, eine richtig geile Nummer, die auch auf die vielen innerdeutschen Konflikte aufmerksam machen möchte, auf den tiefen Riss, der durch das Land geht. „Radio“ hört sich sehr nach den 90ern an, der Synthesizer erinnert ein klein wenig an KRAFTWERK, inhaltlich geht es um die Jugend der Musiker in der ehemaligen DDR, in der das Radio die einzige Verbindung zur freien Welt war. Mit „Zeig dich“ schließt sich eines meiner Album-Highlights an, eine richtig wuchtige und mitreißende Nummer. Eingeleitet und getragen wird dieser Song durch sakrale Chöre, er verströmt eine düstere und morbide Grundstimmung, breitwändige Gitarrenriffs treiben ihn unermüdlich nach vorne. Inhaltlich geht es um aktuelle Missbrauchsskandale und man kann ihn sehr wohl als volle Breitseite gegen die katholische Kirche verstehen. Mal sehen, wann der erste Kirchenfürst seine „Schäfchen“ dazu aufruft, das Album zu boykottieren! ;-) „Ausländer“ dürfte man als eine humorvolle Nummer bezeichnen, denn in diesem Song ist der reisende Deutsche der Ausländer. Die Nummer ist echt ein wenig kitschig und beinhaltet eindeutige Parallelen zum 90er-Jahre Disco- und Eurodance, dazu harte Gitarrenriffs – passt! Der Deutsche im Text sucht die „Zweisamkeit“, allerdings nicht auf Dauer, der Kinderchor im Refrain könnte eine Anspielung auf eine bestimmte Gruppe von „Touristen“ sein. „Sex“ ist eine der Nummern, mit denen RAMMSTEIN gerne provozieren, etwas anstößig und zweideutig mit sadomasochistischen Tendenzen, dazu mitreißende Gitarrenriffs und ein Refrain der gleich im Gedächtnis bleibt. Kann man machen, allerdings hat man diesbezüglich schon Schockierenderes von den Berlinern gehört. Die elektronischen Passagen sind etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber mit jedem Hördurchgang wird das besser. „Puppe“ ist ein extrem finsterer Song, der sehr behäbig anfängt und sich dann zu einem brutalen, infernalen und martialischen Song hin entwickelt, bei dem der Gesang von LINDEMANN Züge eines „Wahnsinnigen“ annimmt. „Dann reiß' ich der Puppe den Kopf ab“ ist schon etwas brutal, der Song selber erzählt die Geschichte eines Kindes, das durchs Schlüsselloch mitansehen muss wie sich die Schwester im Nebenzimmer prostituiert und irgendwann von einem Freier getötet wird. „Was ich liebe“ stampft stoisch vor sich hin, die Nummer ist etwas unspektakulär, hat aber etwas das mich anspricht und mitnimmt. Der Text selber ist sehr deprimierend und destruktiv, handelt von einem Menschen der sich selber hasst. „Was ich liebe, das wird verderben, was ich liebe, das muss auch sterben, muss sterben“. Irgendwie mag ich die Nummer, die Melancholie spricht mich einfach an … keine Ahnung warum. Überhaupt finde ich, dass RAMMSTEIN auf ihrem neuesten Album sehr melancholisch sind, denn auch „Diamant“, das moderne „Weit weg“ und „Tattoo“ tendieren ein wenig in diese Richtung. Das moderne, mit Synthesizerklängen untermalte „Weit weg“ erinnert stellenweise an KRAFTWERK, passt aber, weil RAMMSTEIN schon immer elektronische Elemente in ihre Musik eingebaut haben. In „Tattoo“ trauert jemand einer verflossenen Liebe nach, da ist jede Menge gekränkter Männlichkeit herauszuhören. Das abschließende „Hallomann“ thematisiert Kindesmissbrauch, entsprechend düster und unheimlich ist der Song auch. Produziert ist das Teil natürlich erstklassig, wenn man die Anlage aufdreht, dann kommt da schon ordentlich was raus. Die Musik von RAMMSTEIN ist seit jeher extrem wuchtig und dynamisch, die Songs knallen martialisch und brachial aus den Boxen – da macht das neueste Album der Berliner keine Ausnahme. RAMMSTEIN überlassen weder bei ihren Konzerten, noch bei ihren Produktionen irgendwas dem Zufall, die sind wirklich hochprofessionell, haben immer einen Plan, den sie auch konsequent umsetzen. Das hört man auch auf diesem Album, ich bin wirklich begeistert. Anspieltipps sind natürlich „Deutschland“, „Radio“, „Zeig dich“, „Puppe“ und „Tattoo“. Aus einem richtig geilen Album, haben mir diese Songs am besten gefallen. Grundsätzlich muss man sagen, dass „Rammstein“ etwas Zahmer sind, auch finde ich, dass sie sehr viel melancholischer und nachdenklicher sind, als man es von früheren Alben gewohnt ist. Das steht ihnen aber gut zu Gesicht, mir gefällt das neue Album außerordentlich gut. Mein Fazit: Ich finde, dass sich das Warten gelohnt hat. RAMMSTEIN haben sich stilistisch kaum verändert, sie bauen zwar hier und da ein paar Überraschungen ein, aber grundsätzlich bleibt alles beim Alten – was ich auch ausdrücklich begrüße. Sie zitieren zwar KRAFTWERK, bauen sakrale Chöre, sowie Disco- und Techno-Beats aus den 90ern in ihre Musik ein, dennoch bleibt das „Grundgerüst“ ihrer Musik unverändert. Dominierend sind die brachialen und martialischen Gitarrenriffs, die immer wieder brutal dazwischen grätschen, ebenso wie der charismatische Gesang von Frontmann TILL LINDEMANN. Die elektronischen Elemente, die FLAKE mit seinen Instrumenten immer wieder mit einbringt, sind ebenso ein Markenzeichen der Berliner „Tanzmetaller“. Wer sich zur Fangemeinde von RAMMSTEIN zählt, der sollte hier wirklich auf seine Kosten kommen, mir gefällt das Album außerordentlich gut – mit jedem Durchlauf ein wenig mehr!

The Mighty Rammstein has returned with their first new music in a decade! (Review starts on Paragraph 4) I've been a fan of Rammstein for a long time, around 15 years. I really didn't start getting into them heavily until 'Liebe ist für alle da', their wonderful work from 10 years ago. I even took German in high school to understand Rammstein(Didn't work by the way). Once I had the capital, I bought all of their albums. I was very fortunate to see them in 2012 when they embarked on their US tour after returning to the US for the first time in a decade to a sold out Madison Square Garden show. It was the most amazing show I've ever seen and probably will ever see. Rammstein, for me, hasn't ever put out a bad album. I think this largely has to do with them really starting the band when they were grown men. While most of the members had been in bands before Rammstein, they were all in their late 20's and early 30's by the time they unleashed 'Herzeleid'. Rammstein has evolved greatly over time, never the less, you can always tell it's Rammstein you are listening to. These guys are the German Metallica, only they haven't put out a terrible album or had any member changes. It may help these men came from a strange era, growing up in East Berlin. They are also very varied on their opinions and likes. During 'Mutter' and 'Liebe ist für alle da' the band almost broke up over musical direction and creative process. Yet they have persisted. They also don't rush the process, putting an album out on average every four years, which in turn means they haven't put out a bad album. The band isn't afraid to push the envelope, but most importantly, they make the music they want to make. It has never been so apparent as on this appropriately Untitled release. Richard, lead guitarist, said that they really wanted to make music forefront of the effort, as he felt their shows spectacle overshadowed the music they produced. While I've never felt that way, I understand what he means. The entire band is a lot more active than on past outings, but I would say the effort is very much an evolution of 'Liebe ist für alle da'. Flakes keys are more apparent than ever, adding insane vibes all throughout the album. His parts are easily over looked, but he clearly elevate the songs atmospherically. Ollie on bass gets his own little piece in Zeig Dich. Doom(drummer) is using is double bass very creatively, his impact is felt throughout the music, always delivering interesting beats. He and Ollie lend their weight to all the songs. Elevated more than even Flakes Keys, the guitarists are front and center. Richard and Paul are lead and rhythm guitar respectively. There hasn't been a time in Rammsteins history that the leads stood out like on this record. Paul himself beautifully supports Richards leads, either by strumming with Ollie in rhythm or by playing his own lead esque parts. These two really sealed the deal, playing that heavy tearing distortion that is to be expected by Rammstein and even playing great acoustic on Diamant. Overall, the music is more dynamic than it's ever been, each song almost specifically it's own feel, while simultaneously keeping that same quality they have been known for over their 25 years. It was a treat to hear them not only explore new realms of music, but also that no song feels out of place throughout. That said, we have to talk about the elephant in the room. That of course is the iconic front man, Mr. Till Lindeman. I never want to take any credit from the band members, but while Rammstein musically is unlike any other, Till seals the deal. His deep, angry and tragic vocals are unlike any other, so proves he belongs in Rammstein. The madman is ever present here, performing in every one of his personalities. Tough guy vocals in Tattoo, sorrowful in Deutschland and angry in Puppe(puppet). While I didn't read exact lyrics, I read synopsis and needless to say, he is as lyrically clever as ever. Till is the oldest member of the band, but you would think he was still the same age as when they released 'Mutter'. His voice delivers soft highs and guttural lows, even growling and screaming from time to time. His voice sounds like it did decades ago and he still has something worth saying. The band is as heavy as they've ever been and as dangerous as ever. I'll put it very clearly, this album is worth the wait. The music is more dynamic than ever, but still very much Rammstein. Till is still as scary and emotional as ever. I must address that the Deluxe was a bit of surprise, it doesn't have any extra tracks, but it still has a very cool DVD sized case, with individual pictures of every member. If you don't need that, feel free to buy the standard edition, but I'm not disappointed. Overall, the album is wonderful. It's something you haven't heard from Rammstein before, while also being everything the band is. The Legends have returned, and more importantly, they've raised the bar. PICK THIS ALBUM UP!
