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

Customer Reviews

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

PLEASE...
Please people when you hear the song "Du Hast" IT DOES NOT MEAN "You Hate" instead it means "You Have"! And majority of Ignorant people would know that if they would take a little bit of GERMAN (since thats the language they speak), instead of relying on people to tell them false translations. So next time you want to listen to Rammstein, do yourself and the true Rammstein's fan, take a German Class!
