Rammstein
RAMMSTEIN (Special Edition)

If you like Rammstein, you'll like this album. Continuing on with their slightly gothic take, they've brought it back with the dance beats that made them popular in the first place which, essentially, makes this a showcase of the best of Rammstein's qualities. The album starts with the epic Deutschland, followed by the second single Radio. The rest of the album is...fairly average. It's not bad, by any means, and Rammstein still know what they're doing, but the more reserved take on their style doesn't quite give the album the oomph that their earlier stuff did. Auslander is surprisingly catchy, Puppe is downright chilling on par with Hilf Mir and Mein Teil, while Hallomann is so beautifully composed it's my personal favourite despite how dark the song actually is.

Ton der Aufnahmen hat wie immer eine sehr hohe Qualität. Ansonsten eine eher durchschnittliche CD von Rammstein, solide produziert aber keinerlei Neuheiten sondern manchmal fast wie Neuauflagen älterer Nummern. Daher nur 3 Sterne
