Released in 2004, this has some of their greatest song on, with several personal favourites of mine. Their songs all mean something different, ranging from love to the military.
This album is one of their best and with their songs being in many films like XXX, Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The Matrix and Mortal Kombat Annihilation, and also appearing in XXX , their music is bound to be of high quality and to be enjoyed by millions around the world.
Here is a break-down about each of the songs on the album:
1. Reise Reise : The phrase "Reise, Reise" is used by seamen as a wake-up call and finds its roots in the Middle High German verb "risen", which meant "to rise" (to which it is obviously related as well).
2. Mein Teil: About Cannibalism, where he is going to meet a cannibal and saying who much he would like to eat him.
3. Dalai Lama: The Dalai Lama is the most powerful figure in the Gelugpa or Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The current one, Tenzin Gyatso, is also afraid of flying. The song is about a Child in a Plane Accidenta dn about his father protecting him, but his soul goes to heaven.
4. Keine Lust: All about the things he doesn't want to do. A very good song...
5. Los: Talking about that he is less... Nameless, Helpless, Senseless, Godless. (an Acoustic song, quite, one i think many people will like)
6. Amerika: Talks about America and how much they like it. This song has lyrics in both English and German, some which made me laugh like: We're all living in America, Coca-Cola, Wonderbra, We're all living in America Coca-Cola, sometimes war.)
7. Moskau: Is about the city Moscow in Russia The Pioneers who were a youth organization operated by the communist party in the USSR (think communist Boy or Girl Scouts). There are or were counterparts in many other communist countries, including East Germany. (this song is both German and Russian.)
8. Morgenstern: Is about a women he loves. He says she is ugly alot, but the Morning Star changes her appearence into something he loves.
9. Stein um Stein: Is about building a stone tomb around someone, and making them watch them while it is being built. It's called her Home alot. The songs alittle confusing when you try to understand it's meaning, but sounds good.
10. Ohne Dich: another love song. ssaying that he can't spend a second without being with her, and when they are together, time stands still. (Another Acoustic song, that has alittle electric guitaring at the end.)
11. Amour: French for Love. Love is compared with an animal in this song and then goes on about the animal attacking you. (This song is also Acoustic and Electric.)
Overall:
I think this album is great and is definately worth getting, espically if you are a Rammstein fan, if you don't already have it. Even though you wont understand the lyrics, unless you know German, the music is great and you will get hooked into listening to many of their other songs, because i did.
