RAMMSTEIN
- Reise, Reise
In between the lengthy wait between Mutter
and Reise Reise, fans were tied over with the re-release on DVD of their
Live Aus Berlin show and the Lichtspielhaus music video DVD collection.
Not to mention appearing in the first xXx movie (and soundtrack). This
2004 release features that heavy-laden dramatic and epic sweep we've come to love,
and in many situations a more Metal thrust than usual. The mean guitar riffs get
melodic, lyrical and electronic enhancement lifting it above two-dimensional heavy
rock. The disaster angle of the album also flows over into the bilingual track
Amerika with English lyrics sharing the German in a post Iraq invasion
flash. The track is followed by another country related tune Moskau (with
Russian female vocals by Viktoria Fersh). Dalai Lama is a shocking tale
of a plane going down and the effect it has on a man and his child on board. Keine
Lust has a marching Marilyn Manson styled throb. Mein Teil is a powerful
Metal laced tune, countered by songs like the acoustically driven Los and
the closing tender lyrical number Amour. A great band with a very distinct
recipe, but always maintaining a fresh touch nonetheless.
