This is not the bands best ever single however I still like it quite a lot and it has a really catchy rhythm to it. Rammstein are everyone’s favourite Germans due to the superb music which they are renowned for releasing. They have had a number of astonishing albums and a string of great singles and it is no surprise really why they are so popular as they are a superb band with a hell of a lot of credibility.
As I have already mentioned, this is not the best single the band have ever released however it is still a credible industrial metal single and has one hell of a catchy chorus. This is a well thought out single and has a cracking guitar solo towards the end of the CD where the band really do shine. The solo has come out really great on CD and I am sure that live it would sound blinding and would really get the crowd going. Rammstein have never been one of my favourite bands however I do own the majority of their CDs and have always had a certain respect for them and this single has certainly added to my respect. It is a fine effort from the German industrial band and will most certainly be in my CD changer for a while, however I sense that it is one of those tunes that you like at first but grow to dislike over time which is why I believe it is not the bands best single as ‘Sonne’ still puts a smile on my face to this day.
On display here is near on 4 minutes of good quality music that will please the already converted and possibly gain the band a few fans who are new to listening to Metal that may go on and buy the bands previous releases and be well and truly impressed with what they find. It is always great to find a band and then buy their earlier recordings and find them even more enjoyable than the track that got you into them. Rammstein may not be at their best at the moment but they are still producing plausible music which is by no means rubbish and definitely shows elements of genius from the band. This single is proof that there is still life in the old industrial band and should be more to come.
