Believe me, there was no Rammstein topic before.

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?

Yes the guys from Rammstein make up one hell of a band. Actually they were my first real metal band after Korn and whatnot and helped me get into metal how I am today. It all started when I heard Wiesess Fleisch on a music video someone made that I came across online. I was like WOW that's one awesome song so I downloaded it and loved them Mutter is also my favorite and for a nice change of pace sometimes Rosenrot is cool, although I know alot of fans weren't too happy with it.

I liked them before I even got seriously into metal.
I enjoy the two first album a lot, Mutter quite good but had some weak sons on it imo.

Reise reise got me so dissapointed I stopped following the works of Rammstein, tell me guys is the new album worth digging in again?

@Markku- Well it's really different from other releases, it's alot softer and just has a lighter tone to it all around, so don't expect anything like Mutter. But I like it, it's definetly a change. You may want to check it out.

Wuhu...finally a Rammstein tread. Wasn't allowed to create one, so I've just been waiting.

Rammstein is one of my favorite bands. I really like their (IMO) unique sound, Tanz-metal as they call it themselves.
I think their best album was "Mutter", but I do not agree that their last to don't sound like Rammstein. To me "Reise, Reise" and "Rosenrot" proves that the band can evolve and still maintain the "Rammstein" touch. Yeah sure there were some surprises and some tracks that I didn't like at first. But as I got used to them I started to like them as well ("Ein Lied" and "Feuer Und Wasser").
"Stirbt Nicht Vor Mir" is one of my favorites on "Rosenrot". I think the voice of Sharleen Spiteri (not Nina Hagen as mentioned above) from popband "Texas" goes very well with Till Lindemann's.
The tracks "Mann Gegen Mann" and "Zerstören" reminds me quite a lot of old time Rammstein.
I'm looking forward to their next album and to see what surpises they've got for us.

Well, I have Sehnsucht as well as some various songs....Sehnsucht has Du Hast which is one of the most widly known songs by them...even though they are a unique band, KMFDM is a better industrial band ...Ram is harder and heavier though...

The last two albums are a bit different but Mutter was different from the two first ones too, less "electric" and heavier in a way. Reise Reise was, in a part, a come-back to Herzeleid and Sehnsucht mixed with Mutter. Rosenrot is in the same way with old rammstein style Benzin, Mann Gegen Mann und Zerstören, more experimental songs with Rosenrot and Te Quiero Puta! with mariachis. They have kept the same power since the beginning. I saw them on the Reise Reise tour and it was a hell of a concert. A band has to variate their sounds and influences though keeping their touch, just as they are doing till now, unless they become boring, always playing the same things.

I think Rammstein is very special. Their style and sound is different to metal but nevertheless it is metal...rude and fleshly metal. I like them so much because they sing german and because of the power in their songs. It's great and unique.
Actually I don't like the newer albums "Rosenrot, Reise Reise" and Mutter is for me also the best.

I like Rammstein really much. Except that Reise Reise isn't so good album than the old ones and Rosenrot was even bigger dissapointment to me. It felt like Rosenrot's songs were just some random pieces during the years which weren't yet used. The songs just don't form a whole album. The only good songs from that album are Hilf Mir and Rosenrot. Reise Reise is a bit better but not so good. Mutter rocks.

i enjoy a few rammstein songs, i really liked reise reise but i was extremely disapointed with rosenrot. other than the song "zerstoren" the whole album felt like a bunch of filler songs.

They was the baand that led my into metal and I´m still a fan of them. I like Rosenrot, much better than Reise, Reise, The songs on Rosenrot is more slower than the other releases. But the best album has to be Mutter. The most dark and heavy album of them, with great songs as Spieluhr, Ich Will, and Rein Raus. Rammstein´s lyrics is actually quite funny if you understands them.
IMO, they are also one of the best live bands out there. Their pyro effects is just awesome.

I like Rammstein, stuff like Mutter. But I just got Reise, Reise and I'm curious. Anyone have the lyrics for the song "Amerika"? I can't speak German, so I need a translation to English.

Nothing special, if you ask me. Well, actually special, but not in a good way. No, I don't like them.

However, they have a real good live show!

This is a VERY bad translation, taken from Babelfish and slighty adjusted by me here and there. It is to give you an idea, if you want a better translation, you may want to ask someone else.

I saw them live next year but I found their show pretty boring actually... Yeah a lot of fire... woohoo ... I guess
But - to be honest - I never really liked them anyway. I only like very few songs (like Ich Will) and during summer I occasionally listen to 'Live Aus Berlin' because one of my friends with whom I hang out then, is a Rammstein fan. And also the Kerosin Remix By Apocalyptica of 'Benzin' is pretty sweet.

So back to the show, they didn't impress me at all. Very loud, yes; very good, no, far from.

@ Nightwish15 : System Of A Down and Rammstein have - apart from their commercial name and fame - absolutely nothing incommon!

It's a song against the hegemonia of American culture and language.

Concerning the shows, they're really awesome, the effects fit the songs very well.

One swedish band, I don't remember the name has a same kind of song than Amerika, and now they're saying that Rammstein stole it from them. The guys from Rammstein say that they have never heard this swedish band, or something like that. That's what I read from an interwiew of this swedish band.
