Rammstein
Mutter (Digipak)

The famous and very popular work of Rammstein. The very first song “Mein Herz Brennt” testifies to the fact that the group has reached a new level and is now more attentive to their material. The above composition is a monumental symphonic piece with a powerful voice of Till Lindemann, very pleasant in its melodiousness (something reminds me of their cover of “Stripped”). Then there is a reference to the band's "glorious" past - marching, militaristic motives - in the form of "Links 2-3-4" (here's a countdown from the permanent vocalist!). There is no need to introduce the next song - “Sonne” was not only heard, but also seen (the second song sold to the crowd). By the way, here Rammstein consolidated their ability to bring volume, universal sound to their music. “Ich Will” - what can I say, the Germans showed their stupid historical face here. "Feuer Frei" is a chopper that can even be called intellectual, thanks to very appropriate electronic inclusions, and it has become the quintessence of extreme since the moment it appeared in the box-office action movie "XXX". “Mutter” is simply lyrical to the limit and at the same time powerful, and the guitar in the chorus is amazingly beautiful (Lindemann's voice combined with minimalistic visuals can make me cry). “Spieluhr” begins as a children's fairy tale, and soon turns into an absolutely non-Rammstein-like, poppy-unpretentious, gray song, which is rather peculiar to H.I.M. The first sounds of “Zwitter” vividly remind of the technoid-industrial sophistication of the previous album, and then something is wrong again ... “Rein Raus” is a total riff similarity to the second song of the disc, but varied in guitar and synthesizer plays. “Adios” is something characteristic of Rammstein, but the main thing is drive.
