THE REVIEW
The Rammstein (Ramming Stone “Schiacciasassi”) with this “Reise, Reise” have made their mark in the industrial-metal scene in recent years. The six Germans from Berlin, after their first album in 1995 "Herzeleid" with its single "Du Riechst So Gut" (You Smell So Good) and after surpassing “Sehnsucht” (1997); “Live aus Berlin” (1999) and “Mutter” (2001), have arrived at this “Reise, Reise” (dated 2004). But now let's talk about the CD: “Reise, Reise” provides the opening, nicely powerful with parts made using sound effects, it’s hypnotic from its “hammering” chorus (Reise, Reise seemann Reise…) and with the accordion that beautifully closes the song. We move on with “Mein Teil” and its calm and “scraped” chorus by Till Lindemann's voice, only to explode with the guitars’ anger. “Keine Lust” leaves you puzzled by the singer’s sweetness in singing the chorus; catchy “Los” that does not leave you wanting and the single “Amerika”, which seems very monotonous and unoriginal in contrast to “Moskau” which starts with some electronic parts and a girl quoting and shouting the song’s title. We go forward and here after “Morgenstern”, the beautiful “Stein Um Stein”, which begins with arpeggiated guitar and keyboard, eventually joined by the drums. And after the very calm “Ohne Dich” it’s time for “Amour”, with a beautiful rhythm and an inspired voice as only Till can do: a perfect combination… In short, a CD recommended to fans and genre lovers like me. Enjoy the listening!!!

Here the tracks are tinged with darkness: the opening title-track and the second "Mein Teil" hit straight like a punch in the stomach.
"Amerika" presents one of the most ingenious lyrics ever written by the six Berliners, all accompanied by a hilarious video and a decidedly impactful chorus.
By Devin Davis
This is also the album where drummer Christoph Schneider enjoys "greater freedom," making Rammstein’s sound even better.
It’s impossible not to be enthralled by the magic of these songs.
By SimoneMB91
"Reise, Reise is a very varied album that, however, is often surrounded by highs and lows and is not comparable to its predecessor as it is a concentration of excesses sometimes successful and other times not."
"'Mein Teil' is a very powerful track that plays on Till’s voice, ingeniously computer-modified, and on the ironic lyrics about the madness of a man from Hamburg."
By The Punisher
This CD seems to me a crazy piece of nonsense, stuff for crazed kids with nothing in their heads but lots of repressed anger.
Sometimes crappy music can perfectly supplant anesthetic.
By Starblazer
These are the sensations you experience listening to the title track and opener of Rammstein's fourth album, more than just a band, a real force of nature.
"Mein Teil" confirms their particular attitude in dealing with shock themes... seasoned with one of the most beautiful and ingenious videos in metal history.
