Rammstein has released yet another masterpeice, an album that breems of powerful music and even more powerful lyrics.

Synopsis: This album is somewhat of a blend, and yet brand new. It features powerful orchestral music along with good 'ol headbanging metal, but the way it was presented sets it far apart from the earlier albums such as Sehnsucht and Mutter. This album's theme is political and cultural difference around the world as well as travel. 

From the whorish description of Moscow to the cannabalism trial in Germany to the "Bigger Brother" America. This album has all that R+ fans adore... you get hardcore metal in songs like "Mein Teil", harmonious melodies like "Ohne Dich" and powerful orchestrals such as "Reise Reise".

The Package:
The disc is contained in a case with orange rusty metal designs with two white stripes (think of the Kill Bill poster). The design of the Jewel Case is based off of a german flight recorder (the "Black Box"). The lyrics booklet follows a similar design of plane wreckage.
On the back of the case there is a tank that displays a code, this code translates into the original release date of the album.. nice trick... The CD itself is beautiful, pure silver with the design of a radar disc inscribed into it.

Secret Song "Negativzeit": One of the cooler and more errie features of this album is that secret song is cleverishly hidden. In order to hear it you must have the actual album (most conventional ripping programs don't reguard it as an actual track) and let the first song play for a few seconds. Then hit rewind (or search <<... whatever...) and you'll soon see it passes "00:00" and goes all the way up to "-00:36" you should stop around -34 seconds or else you player may skip to the last song.

Takeaways
  • The disc is contained in a case with orange rusty metal designs with two white stripes (
  • Images of a raging storm and a giant ship crashing through the torrents.
  • 3rd song is "Dalai Lama"
