After the highly acclaimed "Mutter" (2001), in 2004 the fourth (fifth, including the live "Live aus Berlin") effort from the German Rammstein is released: "Reise, Reise".
It begins with REISE, REISE, where you immediately notice how similar this track is to the songs of "Mutter". It continues with the devastating MEIN TEIL: guitars at full blast and an amazing drumline (this, by the way, is also the album where drummer Christoph Schneider enjoys "greater freedom," making Rammstein's sound even better). Other noteworthy songs include the emotional KEINE LUST, which highlights the two sides of singer Till Lindemann's voice: calmness and harshness. Couldn't be better...
Let's not forget AMERIKA, an ironic mockery of the country of the president (ahem ahem...) Bush, and the melodic songs such as OHNE DICH and AMOUR (all "situated" towards the end of the album): I believe it's impossible not to be enthralled by the magic of these songs.
The similarities with "Mutter" are there, like the electronic inserts and dark atmospheres, but we can also happily notice the presence of some new elements, including a more powerful sound than usual.
From "Herzeleidhnh" (1995), Rammstein has always improved and this is of notable mention. The next album, which will be released towards the end of 2005 or even earlier, will be a clear demonstration of what I mean.
