Product Description

There's not a big precedent for German bands succeeding in the United States, the '80s bombast-rock of the Scorpions notwithstanding. Rammstein, however, may be the macho men to get the job done, at least in a concert setting. Decidedly Teutonic and militant in sound and lyrics--they sing in German and their commanding semi-industrial metal is compelling--Rammstein garnered rock-radio airplay for the catchy sing-along "Du Hast," which translates here as "You Hate" and bears a striking musical resemblance to the Golden Earring tune "Twilight Zone." While Sehnsucht's 11 songs are solid, it's the live shows where everything gels. There, KISS pyrotechnics and disturbing NIN-like images, for example, complement Rammstein's forceful music. Without the visual stimuli, Sehnsucht (which means "longing") is still a strong effort, but live is where the album's Germanic gems really shine. --Katherine Turman

I waited a long time to get this album. It has lost nothing in more than ten years since its original release. This is an album, no less than Herzeleid (Ger), Mutter and Reise Reise, to play over and over again. This is real rock, pounding and raw, but captivating and original, in no way generic. The lyrics, albeit sometimes shocking and offensive, go with the music. There is not one song that is not sensational. This music doesn't wear out. As a bonus, this album includes a cover of Depeche Mode's Stripped. Don't expect a limp-wristed rendition like the original. Rammstein have recorded the definitive version.

If you don't know this group, and you like classic metal, this album is for you. Every bit as good as any Metallica, with a coarse and guttural lead singer, great power chords, a female chorus, and really cool lyrics. For anyone with a smattering of German, the lyrics make sense. Even without, the music is great for head banging. Just their best ever.
For gatechnerd, German is a bit more complex than you think. There are puns! So, "Du hast" is a pun between "You have [asked me]" and "You hate me". You may have studied German for a few years, but I am German. Also, the band put out out a version with English lyrics, and it's "You hate me, you hate me to say, and I did not obey."

This album is called Rammstein's opus. I agree that this is Rammstein in their prime. The only problem you might have is the band only speaks German in their songs, but it makes them a lot better that way. Either way, you might want to brush up on your German language skills.
So, what's to tell you? This isn't a heavy metal album, it's more industrial. But there still is cruncy guitar hooks in songs like Engel, and Du Hast. Du Hast often causes people to argue about the meaning of the song, A LOT.
5/5

Du Hast
"Du Hast" does not mean you hate, it means you have. "Da HaSSt" means you hate.

This album is my favorite Rammstein so far. People who say their guitar riffs are kind of bland and monotonous or that they lack talent, are mistaken. Read more
