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 [user id=18405] on 20.08.2007 at 03:37 Have you read the lyrics of Mann Gegen Mann? The lyrics on that song are about the homosexuals and stuff.. and they are brilliant. Even if I'm not gay LOL.... The Video might be disturbing for some people... but it suits the songs in a very good way... But like you said, it's not their best video... It's "Ich Will" IMO... Sonne is a better song... but Ich will's video is just insane. And it suits the entire song. wich IMO is not Sonne's case @_____@

I have all of their albums and love their first one the best. I got Mutter first, and actually that probably was my first Metal CD.

Rammstein hit me like one of the 'battering stones' in the translation of their name. Back in 2001 they changed the way I feel music, just like Metallica did in 1993. I'll just say Rammstein opened the second wave of Metal in my life.  Even if I'm not sure they are indeed Metal, but that's not important.Best album? Can't say. They have 3 different phases, in my opinion, and they're all good in their own way: 1. Herzeleid-Sehnsucht; 2. Mutter; 3. Reise Reise-Rosenrot. I guess Mutter might have been their most important (in the sense of breakthrough) work, but I can't say it's my favorite. Maybe Sehnsucht.

Written by owl on 27.03.2008 at 13:16 They changed my view of music too... especially because of the incredible lyrics. I haven't seen lyrics like that in my entire life... They are just for fucked off minds but still beautiful. I can't say wich album is the best... I have their entire discography and every one have it's own "thing"

Written by ☭ Mr. S ☭ on 30.03.2008 at 13:22 I think you are the first person I've heard saying that 'Reise, Reise' was one of their favourite Rammstein albums! Most people just bitch about. It's not my favourite but I still really like it.

I felt brave. I really feel that the album (Reise Reise) Is very solid and i can listen to it over and over again, without skipping songs.

The band is currently working on the next album and is in an excellent mood. As the greed for news is the actual doping in cycling, this 'news' is only serving those who spread the same. Though the world knows now that EnEsch has moved to Berlin, even the poor EnEsch was shocked by the outlook to have to step into Till Lindemanns footsteps. I hope he and the fans of the band will recover soon from this false report." copyed from rammstein.com damn right it was fake hehe:D
