Album Review: Rammstein - Liebe ist für alle da



As you may know I have already done a review of the music video for Rammstein's "Pussy" (Wasn't so much a review as me pointing out that it was hardcore pornography). Well now their 6th studio album has been released, and what can I say, the album is absolutely fantastic.

Liebe ist fur alle da (Translates as "Love is there for everyone if wikipedia is to be trusted, my German is a little rusty) delivers everything you could ever want from a Rammstein album, from immense sounding orchestras, to catchy heavy riffs, to the odd slow song, this album is simply Rammstein showing us what they do best.

The album opens with "Rammlied", with an opening that sounds like a tense scene from a horror movie, until a choir begins singing. Then Till Lindemann's vocals add to the intensity, until the thunder of drums and guitar hit you with a shout of "Ramm Stein!" This sets the tone for the rest of the album. From the heavy riffs of "Pussy" and the album's title track, to the softer "Fruhling in Paris" and "Roter Sand", this album has everything you want for a Rammstein album. As Rammstein say: "Ich brauche mehr!" (I don't know what that means but it's probably awesome).

Rating: 9/10
Stand out tracks:Rammlied, Fruhling in Paris, Pussy
