Genre: HEAVY METAL
There's not a big precedent for German bands succeeding in the United States, the '80s bombast-rock of the Scorpions notwithstanding. Rammstein, however, may be the macho men to get the job done, at least in a concert setting. Decidedly Teutonic and militant in sound and lyrics--they sing in German and their commanding semi-industrial metal is compelling--Rammstein garnered rock-radio airplay for the catchy sing-along "Du Hast," which translates here as "You Hate" and bears a striking musical resemblance to the Golden Earring tune "Twilight Zone." While Sehnsucht's 11 songs are solid, it's the live shows where everything gels. There, KISS pyrotechnics and disturbing NIN-like images, for example, complement Rammstein's forceful music. Without the visual stimuli, Sehnsucht (which means "longing") is still a strong effort, but live is where the album's Germanic gems really shine. --Katherine Turman

Rating:  - good cd for 1998 and now...they've matured
i had this cd before but i just got it again and i love it.I love all of rammstein's music.For starters the song " du hast" in english does mean "you have".No matter what anyone else says if said different.The song "spiel mit mir" means "play with me".
Rating: - If your willing to listen, best band in a while.
Okay now let me explain. Lots of people see something like that and say 'Geese, obsessed fan.' But, when you think about it, Rammstein has shown that their skills as both musicians and lyricists surpasses many others. They show throughout this album (and I suppose all the other ones, too) that they've mastered their instruments. Flawless playing, amazing rythms heavy enough to satisfy any metal fan, synthesizers playing in on songs like Spiel mit mir that are quite eerie enough to satisfy goth fans, ... Read More
Rating: - PLEASE...
Please people when you hear the song "Du Hast" IT DOES NOT MEAN "You Hate" instead it means "You Have"! And majority of Ignorant people would know that if they would take a little bit of GERMAN (since thats the language they speak), instead of relying on people to tell them false translations. So next time you want to listen to Rammstein, do yourself and the true Rammstein's fan, take a German Class!
Rating:  - Good German Rock
Well I'm half German so I have every right to review this. Rammstein was the most successful German band in the states since Scorpions. 8I can understand German, but I can't speak it, but I do know Old English, a dialect of German. The throbbing industrial beats, ripping guitar and hate lyrics combine into a powerful sound. Du Hast which You hate me, got some MTV play and broke them in America. They are notorious to being one of the only bands school gunmen Harris and Klebold really did like. That being ... Read More
Rating: - Best German Band Ever?
A new Rammstein album is always a refreshing change of pace from all the regular stuff that is released in a given year. This album is probably my favorite, as it has the best heavy/softer ratio. It also has their most popular song, "Du Hast", but the entire album can be listened to without skipping songs. It is great for when you want to do some headbanging and sounds great thumping out of your stereo. The fact that they sing 99 % of the time in German might turn you off, but there is no denying that these ... Read More
