Rammstein

I just bought the new album by Rammstein. Like all its predecessors, it consists of eleven songs. Every one of them is worth the money spent! It may not be in typical Rammstein style, but the changes are simply amazing. Rosenrot does not have the in-your-face oomph of, say, Herzeleid. Instead, it takes you in by its deep-rooted underlying sadness that is present in all the songs. From the opening track, Benzin, down to the last song, Ein Lied, every piece on this album almost makes you cry. Rammstein do not rely on Till Lindemann's booming bass voice so much as on his almost expressionist lyrics.

My favorite track so far is easily Spring. Its the story of a man who stands on the edge of a highrise building who came there to watch the skies but who is eventually forced to jump to his death to satisfy the mob that had gathered to watch his supposed suicide attempt.
