When it comes to industrial metal, I'm not the biggest fan of that certain genre (I never got the hype behind 9 Inch Nails)

But when I was 8, Rammstein had me interested, with their weird appearance, even weirder music videos, and that they were very popular even though they sung in German.

I had never really found them to be a band that would compell me to buy an album of theirs, but I decided to just try it, and I'm an idiot for not pursuing them earlier.

This has to be one of the most perfect metal albums I have ever heard. Every song is as good as the last, and even though the songs are in a different language than my own, the melodies are still very catchy. Their production is also second to none.

1. Mein Herz Brennt - What a way to start an album. Very symphonic metal with the use of an orchestra.

2. Links 2-3-4 - Extremly powerfull and catchy. Reminds me of ants...

3. Sonne - The video for this song always makes me laugh. Very nostalgic. This song is amazing and the chorus is very melodic. I love the female vocal sound used. Very beautiful.

4. Ich Will - Very catchy. I love the female vocal sound in this song. It reminds me of Scooter (they make me smile).

5. Feuer Frei! - I remember when this song first came out, it was in that forgoten movie XXX. It was a terrible movie though. This song is incredibly catchy and the use of synths is amazing.

6. Mutter - Rammstein ballad. Does this even exist. Yes, I also remember when the video for this song came out as well and I remember loving the beauty of this song. It's very reminiscent to a melodic death metal song.

7. Spieluhr - Sounds like Metallica with balls. I love the computer voices. Very jaunty song. The electronics are used very well.

8. Zwitter - My favourite song on the album (not just because it translates to Hermaphrodite). Very catchy.

9. Rein Raus - Metallica with even more balls. Another cathcy kick ass song.

10. Adiós - Sounds like if Metallica could still make good songs. Great chorus in this song.

11. Nebel - A nice calm way to end the album.

CONCLUSION: An essential metal buy. It's just perfect really. Long live the crazy Germans.
