I just obtained Rammstein's new album "Reise, Reise", and it's fantastic, as expected. The language barrier is a bit more evident this time around; you can tell they're putting more emphisis on lyrics now, so all the German might be a bit off-putting on some songs. But musically, it's probably the best Rammstein have done. A lot more diverse than usual. Also, it seems Rammstein have finally realised that subtle can work just as well as skullf**king your head aurally. It's hard to pick a favourite song, but I guess the best representation of the album as a whole is the title track (Reise Reise for those not paying attention).

Oh, and the lyrics to Amerika are just hilarious to listen to. "We're all living in Amerika, Amerika, it's wunderbar! We're all living in Amerika, Coca Cola Wonderbra!" :D

Anyone else managed to pick it up? What do you think of it?
 
I haven't gotten the chance to yet.

The only two songs that I've heard are Mein Tiel and Amerika.

Good to hear that the whole album is good. I'll make time to pick it up as soon as possible.
 
Amerika pwns. Might give the album a look.
 
i have only head Du Hast...and its a cool song..gotta try this album out..
 
Yours is cool too, but it also pisses me off cause it's obviously from Family Guy but I haven't seen it.

Isn't that from the episode where Peter becomes the Manager of the toy corporation?

OT: Did the CD come out today? If so I may have problems finding it in the smaller music chain stores.

And for the record, I have never bought a Rammstein CD. :O
 
Though I'm not that much into metal anymore... the new two singles were cool :) also heard that the LP is great.

Ask me if you have language questions :D

The music I listen to is mostly english, so imagine what I'm going through ;)
 
Amerika is a ripoff of swedish band The Sound's song "We're not living in America"..
 
Yeah, that song's is pretty famous and wellknown... I'd call it a cover, not a rip-off :|
 
it's a little slow...not terribly bad i suppose, but not great either.

Can anyone confirm this. It's quite a commute to get there (I'm in a University residence) and I wouldn't want to go all that way to find out it isn't there yet.

Favorite Rammstein Songs:

Du Hast
Main Teil
Sonne
Engel
Feuer Frie
Links 234
(even Amerika is starting to grow on me)

Just the main singles basically. Like I mentioned earlier, I haven't bought their CD's yet since I've heard that they weren't too good. This one appears to be the opposite.

I think their albums are consistently brilliant, I don't know who told you they weren't but they're lieing IMO. :P
 
Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet
treu ihr sein für alle Tage

Nein!!!

Willst du bis zum Tod, der scheide
sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen

Nein!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I bought it today and it really rocks, just like the other albums.

My favorite songs from Reise, Reise at the moment are:
1. Reise Reise
2. Mein Teil
3. Dalai Lama
6. Amerika
7. Moskau

But I like all their songs.
 
Some of their lyrics are just way too sick and homoerotic imo. Still, might pick this one up though.
 
BAH! I went today and they had no copies. It wasn't even on their list of scheduled releases.

That's what I get for going to "MusicWorld"...

I'll have to try again on the weekend. :(



(And I forgot Ich Will ;) )
