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?

well...i found the pictures of Till Lindemann as a dwarf spanked by Snowwhite or Snowhite sniffing the gold dust or whatever they mined very funny  but maybe i didn't catch the background message if there's any

Account deleted Written by Ellrohir on 18.08.2007 at 09:35 Let me point out a little mistake  . Till wasn't the one being spanked, but Paul was. And Flake was getting ready to be spanked. Indeed that scene is funny... But the one with the glass coffin is just so beautiful... I remember it made me cry some years ago. Not because of Snow White's death, but because they (the dwarfs) all looked so cute and sad... .But yes... Sonne is my favourite video, after Mein Teil. I watched them all again yesterday. Been some time...

Talking about Rammstein's videos, Mann Gegen Mann is quite scary. And Benzin is just ridiculous when they're driving in the firetruck.

Account deleted Written by Guest on 19.08.2007 at 12:27 Haha yes... I didn't like Rosenrot much. I was really disappointed. Thus I don't mind saying both videos that have been made for the singles Mann Gegen Mann and Benzin are... let's say... a bit funny. (Hearing me criticizing Rammstein is rare, even if it is not my favourite band anymore. I still have 3 years of total Rammstein-mania behind me.) The song Benzin itself is not bad, and it would have been better if they used the theme of fire and pyrothecnics another way, since they use that during their concerts, and they became famous partly thanks to that. The single Mann Gegen Mann is the one of the songs I like the least, among all Rammstein's... And I don't like muscled men. Mucles.. ewww... I don't like music videos at all, but Rammstein's are always special, in a way or another. Their best videos are the ones they made during the Mutter and Reise Reise era.

Even though Rammstein released two somewhat uninspiring albums (Reise, Reise and Rosenrot) which should have been made into one great album, they still remain my favourite band. Great sound, videos which are true works of art, excellent live performances... What else to say, I just love them

@baldur: to me Rammstein will never be boring...they have so many great songs and they are all very different so it's possible to have some variation when listening to them anyway hope you'll get into them again someday

Has anyone here heard Rammsteins song "Otherworld" that appeared on Final Fantasy X? I think it's pretty awesome

Written by BloodTears on 21.10.2007 at 14:55 Don't know if this will help you: "Rammstein means a stone battering ram. (Rammen meaning to ram, and stein meaning stone). Another theory is it is named after the Ramstein (only one 'm') airbase, in Germany, where a spectacular airshow disaster occured. The last song on the bands debut album, Herzeleid, also the first song Rammstein ever wrote, was inspired by this accident. "
