Rammstein - Reis, reis

el_mariachi said:Man, I can't wait either...
Most Americans probably won't even realize they're being teased because the chorus is in English while the rest is in German. Since most Americans are native English speakers, they'll just listen to it and stay hooked. 😁

I guess you'll have to hear my mashup of "Du Hast" mixed with "I Will Survive." 😁

Well, maybe you could drop a link where we can download it? 😁
I'd really love to hear it. 🙂

Well, after waiting forever, my CD finally arrived in the mail a few days ago.....
(It dropped in Germany and Austria back on September 27th, and honestly, within just two days, it was basically impossible to find anywhere in stock.....)

What can I even say about it.........WUNDERBAR
The album is absolutely insane. Everything we suspected while listening to Mein Teil and Amerika has been fully confirmed now.... every single track is phenomenal....

In my opinion, this is easily their best work to date, and I have a feeling they’re going to be pulling plenty more singles from this collection over the coming months....

So, what do you all think? Has anyone else had a chance to sit down and listen to the whole thing yet?......

Found this online a few days back.
The album is killer; honestly, most of the tracks beat those first two singles, Mein Teil and Amerika Il.

Really digging "Stein um Stein" and "Morgen Stern."

Anyone know if I can pick up 'Reise Reise' at a shop in Chicago? If so, where? I'm looking to grab a physical copy.

Is it against the rules here to drop a link to where I downloaded it?

Rammstein 👍

Does anyone happen to know if it’s actually possible to pick up 'reis reis' in the city? If so, where should I look? I'm dying to get my hands on it.

It was supposed to drop here in the States on September 27th, but when I went hunting for it at the start of the month, it hadn't arrived yet and wasn't showing up anywhere...

Your best bet would be to check out Barnes & Noble; they usually carry this kind of stuff, though their website isn't saying a word about it... (I actually called one of their local shops, and they told me they don't have it in stock, and honestly, they weren't even sure if they'd received the shipment or if it was even coming through at all).

By the way, back on October 7th, Barnes & Noble hosted an album promo event over at Apple... so maybe you could try checking there too.

Check with Aquarius; they should have it, even if their website isn't saying anything about it... (called the shop: they said they don't have it and aren't even sure if they ever got it in stock to begin with)..

BTW, Aquarius was doing an album promo over at Apple on Oct 7th... so you might want to check that out.

got it, thanks for the heads up. I'll hit up Aquarius.
Rammstein 🙂

Unfortunately, I haven't managed to pick up the full album yet, so I've only been listening to three tracks: Mein Teil, Amerika, and Amour, and honestly, Mein Teil is absolute perfection 🙏, though those other two are great too.

I am really looking forward to getting my hands on the whole thing because there's just no way it'll be bad. Rammstein isn't going to release a subpar album, they've already proven they're on another level. 🙏

By the way, the album promotion started on October 7th, but they've only released Amerika so far 😁 Or maybe the ethanol finally kicked in and I'm just misremembering? 🤔

that "USA" spot is absolutely hilarious 😂

Just listening to the title track right now, and I'll drop a comment once I'm done... That intro alone is more than promising!!! aaaaaaaa !!!

Alright, just finished my first listen and I've already got it playing for a second time... I really hope they drop "reis reis" as a single because, honestly, I think it beats "Amerika"... It's such a killer track, and the whole album is brilliant. I've always been a fan of Rammstein, but this? This is next level. 😁

I've actually had it for a week now, haha ^^

no problem

Blind Guardian - The script for my requiem

Ahhh, I finally finished working on the album last night. "Moscow" is easily the standout track for me, though the final two songs won't play properly—that’s what happens when you let some amateur handle your mastering 🙂.
Pfff...!

The album itself is truly impressive, a damn fine record! 🙏 👍

Now I just need to catch them live at a concert!

Nathan Barnes5 said:The track for "USA" is absolutely hilarious 😂

I couldn't agree more! 😁 And what about Mein Teil? 🙂 😁

I've got my hands on it too. I’ve spun it twice so far, and honestly, "Moscow" and "Dalai Lama" are standing out as the highlights for me, though I’m hoping the rest of the tracks grow on me as I keep listening. To be fair, nothing quite touches their *Mutter* album for me; that one is just flawless from start to finish. I still love the music video for "Mein Teil," especially seeing how Lindemann flashes that crooked grin at you 😬—plus, the lyrics are absolutely insane...

"Du bist
was du isst
und Ihr wisst
was es ist...

Es ist mein Teil!!!🙂 🙂 😁

Their songwriting tends to lean into the morbid, but even then, there's an underlying sense of irony that keeps it from feeling heavy-handed. They've even mentioned before that they don't take themselves all that seriously.

Es ist Mein Teil!!!

Hehe, I’ve been singing this all day long, and honestly, everyone at my high school was giving me such a hard time because they absolutely can't stand German music. Meanwhile, I'm just sitting there with my Discman blasting "Du bist was du isst." 😁

They were just messing around, though; I can't believe how immature some people can be.

Is "Mein Teil" basically just about those two guys, right? One kills the other, and they were eating his... well, you know... before the murder. 😬

I can't think of the names right now... Armin and... 🤔

They even put out those t-shirts with the knife and fork on them... Heh. It's gross. 😁

swiftmaker20 said:Isn't "Mein Teil" basically just a song about those two guys? It's about one of them killing the other after they had that sexual encounter involving eating the victim's anatomy. 😬

I can't quite wrap my head around the name right now... It was Armin and... 🤔

They’ve actually gone and released t-shirts with a knife and fork on them now... Honestly, it's just pure madness. 😁

The whole saga with Armin Meiwes, that cannibal, and Brandes, the computer tech who actually reached out to him, is just pure madness. It’s honestly sickening. The way that guy would freeze people only to toss them into a boiling tub until they bled out... it’s absolutely depraved.

Susan Nguyen85 said:Yeah, Armin Meiwes, the cannibal, and Brandes, the computer guy who reached out to him. It's just sick. The guy would freeze them and then toss them into a hot tub until they bled out, it's insane..

Idiots... 😁

Wait, who exactly "did he freeze"? 😁 😁

swiftmaker20 said:The happy campers... 😁

Who exactly was he "chilling out"? 😁 😁

The people he was murdering.

Susan Nguyen85 said:The people he killed.

Only one of them actually died... and even then, it was because they tried to take his junk but it was "too hard" for them. I guess that's just the power of the male libido at work! 😬

I had a feeling even before this that my part might have been inspired by those events.

Anyway, the narrative in Stone by Stone really stuck with me... I didn't look up the lyrics online, but from what I gathered, it’s about a guy singing about building a little house for a woman, stone by stone, except this house won't have any doors or windows, and it'll be quite dark inside... plus there's a garden out front, and no one will hear her scream as he completely walls her into it.😁

Typical Rammstein humor.😁
