Fantastic, rich, cutting, frequential sound. Transcendent moments and the single greatest JJ Duerinckx sopranini solo ever.
Also LEAGUES above the, despite its great artwork by Hervé Scott Flament, horrible sounding Solar Drone Ceremony which was honestly unlistenable
Hail Neptunian.
Every time a new Rammstein album is released i have to catch my breath in anticipation. Especially since the same formula is pretty much repeated for every album, again and again... 11 tracks, guitar, bass, synths, drums and tills vocals... never any weird outsider instruments outside of conventional strings or horns or choirs and this makes listening to a new R+ album a bit of an undone experience.

There can only be one greatest album ever made, and its this one.
the Neptunian astral travelers strike again with another surprising curve, a brand new project and brand new atmospheres.
From what is already available to be heard this is going to be another trip into forgotten lands, languages and hazards
