After a 10-year studio silence, Rammstein have returned with elegance and grace over shock value.
There is a key focus on melody amid the grandeur and forcefulness of the music, along with thought-provoking lyrics that deal with pain, passion, controversy, and sensuality.
A resounding triumph, Rammstein's first album in a decade finds them as unique and unstoppable as ever, tethered to originality and provocation.
Rammstein are back, reigniting that old fire, swooping us up in their latest journey. And we sure as hell are happy to ride along.
Even without a translation, the way Lindemann sings in German with rolled R’s and growls over a big drumbeat is enough to make your skin crawl. Then again, nobody listens to Rammstein for the lyrics.
Rammstein's first studio album in 10 years falls apart after a promising first leg.
DEUTSCHLAND🗣🗣🗣
Rammstein's self titled shows how band can perform in different styles and it works pretty good for me. Many experimental moments, many funny and freaky😋 stuff mixed with as always breathtaking vocals and amazing instrumentals. After much time in the music industry they can still suprise me very well! Some of their best Industrial type-songs of all time, great work! Just pace at the end is not as good as at the begining.
A very strong comeback album from my favorite German metal outfit. At time a little more electro industrial and goth, Rammstein pull theough with a viseral album that may not have the ruthless consistency of their greatest works but makes for an exciting return.
EDIT: FANTASTIC
This album just continues to grow on me. Every track is just so good man
GREAT
This is Rammstein's best album since 2005. Every single song brings the Rammstein sound to the table in full force, while including some surprising twists and turns along the way (didn't expect AUSLÄNDER to be a pop rock song, but hey, it works). DEUTSCHLAND and ZEIG DICH are fantastic songs, while the one-two punch of TATTOO and HALLOMANN is a great way to close out the record. The vocals are ... read more
My experience with this album was expected but also surprising because yes, it's a typical metal album but there definitely is some great metaphors and writing used throughout the album. And it's a bit funny but my favorite song off this album is the one that stands out completely: Diamant. I dunno, I just think it's very pleasant, calm and nice. And Till's voice is iconic for his gravelly vocals but also at times it's beautiful. Do I find myself relistening to this? ... read more
Listening to this made me get German ads.
Aside from that it is really good it has some of my favourite songs.
