The latest work by the Germans "Rammstein", "Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da", is probably their hardest album.

The album opens with the track "Rammlied", an anthem to the band and their history, a very powerful yet calm song. "Ich Tu Dir Weh" starts with a catchy keyboard rhythm immediately followed by the hard and heavy guitars that characterize the album. The next two songs, "Waidmanns Heil" and "Haifisch" strongly resemble the early songs of the German group; the former is undoubtedly more engaging than the latter, which, however, is likely to become a hit for "Rammstein".

After a rhythm that seemed to have softened a bit, we encounter "B********", perhaps the heaviest song on the entire album, very aggressive, with "Till Lindenmann" almost growling the chorus "Bückstabü". After the storm comes the calm, as the saying goes, and indeed "Frühling in Paris" is the calm after the storm, very peaceful, with a few phrases in French adding an almost relaxing touch. In the second half of the album, "Rammstein" charge back with "Wiener Blut" , a track speaking about the "Fritzl" case, where a daughter was held captive in a bunker for 18 years by her father, even bearing his children.

"Wiener Blut" features a very slow and very heavy rhythm, and once again you can feel all the anger conveyed in the chorus. Much has already been seen of the single "Pussy", from the controversial video to the song's lyrics, yet it seems that "Pussy" surpasses the old hit "Amerika". At the bottom of the album, we find the title track, "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da", with a frenzied rhythm thanks to "Christoph Schneider's" drumming and "Till Lindenmann's" voice. Midway through the song, there is even a tapping by "Kruspe". With "Mehr", the relentless rhythm calms down again, and the electronic pattern overlays the chorus, which could have been improved. Finally, we find "Roter Sand", where the dark and gloomy rhythms are over, an almost romantic song to savor in moments of sadness or solitude. 

The latest work by the Teutonic "Rammstein" is undoubtedly their best work, "Mutter" stands no chance in comparison to this heavy and dark album which showcases the power of "Herzeleid", the rhythm of "Mutter" and the darkness of "Reise, Reise" and "Rosenrot".

 With Rammstein, you should never judge an album by its single.

 The album closes with a pleasant ballad 'Roter Sand' ... a ray of sunshine after a furious and dark storm.
