Put some amps into it.
I've been listening to Rammstein for years now.

Lately they've adopted the over-simplified 'Hate America' jingoism so popular in Europe and the intelligentsia press, but that doesn't mean their earlier music wasn't absorbing and fresh.

This is metal meant to be listened to with an edge, and I find putting 2,000 watts into it produces the intended effect. Believe me, Rammstein wasn't made for your 20 watt car stereo.

If you want to get going, and metal helps you go there, here's where you need to go.

Amazing
This is an epic album. It has a driving beat in all of the songs. Till's vocals always sound crisp. The best tracks on this are: Stripped (the version you get may not have this on it), Sehnsucht, Du Haßt (probably the best known Rammstein song, Fellfrosh (amazing grinding guitars), Bueck Dich (great for headbanging) Engel, (amazing vocals) Spiel Mit Mir (nice, slow heavy guitars, scary lyrics), and Eifersucht (best song for headbanging). Overall its just a great CD. I would recommend it to any metal fan.

Great CD
This cd has always been my favorite. The seller had it processed and delivered faster than I expected. Great work.

good cd for 1998 and now...they've matured
i had this cd before but i just got it again and i love it.I love all of rammstein's music.For starters the song " du hast" in english does mean "you have".No matter what anyone else says if said different.The song "spiel mit mir" means "play with me".

If your willing to listen, best band in a while.
Okay now let me explain. Lots of people see something like that and say 'Geese, obsessed fan.' But, when you think about it, Rammstein has shown that their skills as both musicians and lyricists surpasses many others. They show throughout this album (and I suppose all the other ones, too) that they've mastered their instruments. Flawless playing, amazing rythms heavy enough to satisfy any metal fan, synthesizers playing in on songs like Spiel mit mir that are quite eerie enough to satisfy goth fans, or whoever enjoys eerie...

Now, I'm fan of bands like Gojira and Dreamtheater, and they obviously show their mucianship very time they play, but in the realm of songwriting, the skills are a tad lacking. Rythm seems a little off, as if lacking an overall sound in most places. Rammstein may not throw in endless Megadeth-ish guitar soloes, but their songs are structured.

And, for those who really care about what their saying, Rammstein is great band. They manage to fill songs with romance, sorrow, irony, and anger not only through their instrumental playing but through the words, which seems like the easiest task in music. But whens the last time you turned on the radio and a song emotional connected to you? When listening to Sehnsucht, you may come to relate to Till as he sings of longing.

So for people who want to find peoticism, the musicianship
