You have to give them credit for sticking to their principles and singing in their own language. It does add extra power to their work as a whole.
Reise, Reise is a storming opener that makes the hairs on the back of your neck start to crawl.
Mein Teil hits you right from the start and is power metal at its very best. You are what you eat.
Dalai Lama and Keine Lust continue at a lower pace.
Los is a brilliant play on the German language and a slower track that leads to Amerika.
The English language intro to Amerika is precursor of the verbal bashing the USA are to receive. Translated lyrics include "When there's dancing I want to lead, even if you're whirling around alone. " well hardly alone with Tony. "We're all living in America Coca-Cola, sometimes war."
Moskau sees the other old power getting a bashing to even things out, with a Russian chorus added.
Morgenstern is a more melodic track.
Stein um Stein is a wonderful track with a powerful chorus. It's about building a house the Fred West way, walling someone up inside. Ending in a scream.
Ohne Dich "Without You" is a beautiful ballad. "Without you I count the hours without you,With you the seconds stand still.They aren't worth it." Even without the translation it is a stunning track and show that Till's vocals can cross the language barrier.
Amour is a slow ballad
The tracks I play most are Reise, Reise, Amerika, Mein Teil and Ohne Dich. Amerika being my favourite as it shows the Germans do have a great sense of humour.
This record has something for everyone. I got into Rammstein from picking up Mutter and from the opening track Mein Herz Brennt I was hooked.

Rating: - RAMM-STEIN

Oh My God! what a superb album. Best album of the year, bar none. Forgot Franz Ferdinand, or the Killers, or Futureheads, this is real music. this is what rock/metal is all about.
Every song on this album could be released, and very succesful. To me, i think either Reise Reise, Dalai Lama, Ohne Dich or Moskau is the best songs on the album.
Every song on this album is fresh and original, bringing a new term to metal music. go out and buy this album, it will be the best decision you have ever made. then go and buy the rest of Rammstein's albums, then see them live!

Rating: - Why does this album divide the fans...

..When it's perfect? This, contrary to what many people will have you believe, is Rammstein's best album. The creativity and variety in it is staggering: the themes of love, sex and death are still there, but handled in very different ways. Dalai Lama, a song about the fear of flying, is based (loosely) on an old German poem, "Der Erlkönig", and carries through all the sinister malice of the original. See what I mean about creativity? You don't see many other contemporary bands doing that!
Best song on the album in my opinion is Stein Um Stein. It's enough to make a grown man weep.

Rating: - You are what you eat.

Brilliant. The best album that i have heard in a long time. Americka and Meil Teil are fantastic, although the album is very heavy it does appeal to a wide audience. Do not hesitate in your purchasing of this album. Its just quality.

Rating: - Coca-Cola - sometimes war...

On initial listening to this album I didn't really like it compared to Herzeleid, Sehnsucht and Mutter. I don't know, but those three albums had a certain charm that made you love them straight away. On multiple listens though, you soon learn that Reise Reise is quite possibily the height of their career. Every song is a killer with the trademark jackhammer riffing and crunching electronic mix of guttral teutonic mechanics mixed in with a slice of blues (Los), emotion (Ohne Dich) and politics (Amerika, Moskau.)

My personal favourites are Mein Teil (heeeeavy), Moskau (Rammstein's best song IMO) and the ballad Ohne Dich (a lovesong.)

Recommended to all heavy metal fans. To Rammstein fans reading: why haven't you already got it?
