Rammstein - Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da
| Sputnikmusic |
|
Over the course of their career, Rammstein have always stuck to an almost singular musical ethic. Their infamous combo of electronic doodles, chugging Metallica guitars, and Till Lindemann’s booming subwoofer voice is a success the world over (but mostly in their native Germany and in the neighbouring European countries). The fact that most of their lyrics are sung in anything but English only enhances their Teutonic mystique, which seems to concern nothing more than a primeval sexual attitude (yes, 90% of Rammstein songs are about sex), a love of morbid humour, and some deadly catchy songs. For the people who were hoping that Rammstein had moved on from their Sehnsucht-era sex-themed orgasmfests and got some musical sophistication, you will be sorely disappointed. Rammstein’s belated return to the musical arena comes with an album that is exactly like their older albums. The musical reference points to an album that fits squarely between their seminal Mutter album and Reise, Reise; in fact this album is so Rammstein that you wonder if no time has passed at all. What do we find on this album? Atmospheric keyboards? Check. Sexual humour? Check. Thumping guitars? Check. A punishing rhythm section? Check. Till’s ridiculously sub-bass frequency voice? Check. It all is there, pretty much. If you liked Rammstein with any previous album, you’ll like this guaranteed....full text |

Find us a man or woman who physically enjoys the sound of front-man Till Lindemann's vocals for Rammstein, and we'll show you a newscaster who has been transmogrified into a duck. A person capacity to enjoy Rammstein, therefore, is directly proportional to their ability to karaoke-ise the song as it filters through their auditory system. While tolerable when performing the band's usual shtick of shouting vaguely-threatening German words during the chorus, it nails on the chalkboard/Mariah Carey in the recording studio time when Lindemann actually attempts to sing. Two of Liebe's more sensitive pieces, "Fruhling in Paris" (stop laughing, it doesn't mean *that*) and finale "Roter Sand" showcase the very weakest links in the band. Whether it be the tonal qualities of the German language to foreigners, or just Lindemann's vocals as a whole, when it's not pantomimic, it's just plain disconcerting. We had Tokio Hotel through here a few weeks back, and they didn't make our skin crawl one bit. That said though, when you have these lyrics to work with, it's akin to conjuring diamonds from a portaloo. Take the charmingly titled "Pussy" (this means *exactly* what you think) which serenades the ladies with prose worthy of a poet "You've got a pussy / I have a dick / So what's the problem? / Let's do it quick". We believe we saw that line recently in "Rape Defence in the Court of Law For Dummies". Don't ask why we were reading it, it's a long story involving a freemasonry, six litres of Mountain Dew and the little-known flammable properties of radioactive isotopes. When the band are in their comfort zone though, so are we. It terms of aggressive industrial-rock littered with double-bass drumming and kinesis-inducing riffs, it's hard to fault the band. Perhaps it is a formula so stringent that the audience would benefit from shorter-form exposure, but Liebe is still enjoyable enough....full text |
