Mutter, if you're a big Rammstein fan, isn't going to be your fist choice for best album. That's not to demean the quality of the album - but in contrast to Herzeleid and Sehnsucht, it's very, very different. Being used to "Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen" and "Asche Zu Asche", you're coming in expecting more pace and catchy riffs. You don't get it - you get pure, in your face, mosh-like-there's-no-tomorrow German metal. I myself am about as big a fan as it gets, having just about everything produced from the German industrial metallers cabinet - and this, out of all 5 albums, would be their "weakest" in my opinion - simply because of it's commerciality. Whilst the likes of "Sonne" and "Feuer Frei" have made it large, most notable with Feuer Frei being featured in hit film xXx, this would be an album if you were a 13/14 year old just coming into this genre of music. This would really wet your appetite for metal - but if you're an avid an of the old, industrial Rammstein, then as good as I find this album it probably won't be your cup of tea so to speak.
