Mutter manages to hone in on ideas from previous releases and create a sound that they will use for years to come.
MUTTER isn't as good as Sehnsucht, but it isn't a stumble either.
Although missing the cheesy visual excitement of their live show — with its over-the-top pyrotechnics and giant, water-spurting phalluses — Mutter is sternly self-parodic, headbanging horror rock at its finest.

On their third album Rammstein sadly follow a road dictated by autocratic efficiency.

In 1989, guitarist excaped Richard Kruspe excaped from East Germany. In West side of Berlin he founded Orgasm Death Gimmick. At first he was really inspired by hair metal bands from US like Kiss.

No idea what the fuck they're saying, but it sounds good and has great production so who cares. But the second half is noticeably a bit worse.
