About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

To date, Rammstein haven't been able to equal the excitement and power of their breakthrough 1998 album, Sehnsucht, and while Rosenrot suffers that fate, there's an EP's worth of brilliance and one track that towers above them all. Just as exciting as their massive hit "Du Hast," "Te Quiero Puta!" is a glorious blend of the group's usual Teutonic crunch and mariachi music that earns the exclamation point in its title. It's loco to hear Rammstein with bright horns and Latin vocalists and just about as odd to hear them with Sharleen Spiteri -- lead singer for the classy pop act Texas -- whose sweet and somber vocals make "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir (Don't Die Before I Do)" sound very dreamy, very Nightwish. The out of control "Zerstören" and "Benzin," with its biting social commentary on the world's addiction to oil, are the final two tracks for the hypothetical four-star EP, since the rest of Rosenrot sounds a bit too formulaic. Most everything is tense during the verses, then blows up during the choruses, but if there's one area the band has made giant steps, it's with the lyrics. Greed, irresponsible hedonism, and modern-day interpretations of Goethe are touched upon through wordplay and metaphor, all of it lost on the non-Deutsch speaking set. It still doesn't make up for the stale turns the music takes on a good portion of the album, but there are signs that Sehnsucht's worthy follow-up is more possible than ever.

Not Their Best One, But Still Of Worthwhile Value.by Heavy_Metal_Sushi

November 28, 2009: This officially wraps up my review stream on Rammstein, though I will probably be back at it again once I come into possession of their DVDs and view them, but this is it for now. Sure, this album perhaps lacked a slight bit of luster by them & didn't seem quite the same in a lot of ways, but at the same time, I think this album was an explorative journey by them to sort of play with their sound a little bit, and to be quite honest with you, I rather liked it. Yes, it's probably my least favorite of their to date, but not by much, and I still couldn't even bring myself to rate this even 4 stars, because I still love it for what it is. Benzin was perhaps my favorite song on the album, and I found Te Quero Punta quite amusing, lol, but the whole album in and of itself really isn't bad, and I for one actually rather enjoyed listening to it, and will continue to for quite a while to come. If you want to get a good place to start with Rammstein, if you aren't very familiar with them, I wouldn't recommend starting here necessarily, but rather start with one of their other works, say Hezereild or Sehnsucht or Mutter or something, and then after you have explored that stuff a little, and perhaps Reise Reise as well, then give this one a listen and compare for yourself. Some of it might seem a bit drearier than usual in a lot of parts and a slight bit different in sound in a lot of areas, but at the same time, it is still a neat album, with plenty to offer. I like it! Check it out!

I Also Recommend: Reise Reise, Liebe Ist fur Alle Da [Bonus Tracks] [Deluxe Edition], Herzeleid, Sehnsucht [11 Tracks], Mutter.

December 22, 2006: I also think that rammstein could have made this cd a bit better before shipping it, but i do believe that this is a major jump for them in Amerika and Mexiko. Having a spanish song and a part english song while being a german band is a good mix to send them into the ears of the American people who probably only hear those two languages. it takes it to the heart of the people/ their fans in the western part of the world. So yes this cd could be better but it is still a great cd that clash cultures.
