4.0 out of 5 stars Classy, October 13, 2009

So Rammstein is at it again and recently released two songs from their upcoming album. The first song, "Pussy," is pretty self explanatory. Gone are the clever lyrics Rammstein is known for, but they more than make up for it with good, rousing, typical, Rammstein metal. The music is pure Rammstein. Actually, upon first listen, it seems they recycled several old songs to create this song. I don't fault them for this, as the song still manages to stand on its own. It has a bit more of a pop beat, akin to Moscow or Amerika. Since I tend to appreciate the newer albums by Rammstein, I give this song 4 1/2 stars. For fans of the older Rammstein, they also include the B-rate single "Rammlied." This song has the brooding anger with menacing guitars that skyrocketed Rammstein to international fame with their first two albums. As I said earlier, I am not as big of a fan of their early work, so I rate this song 3 stars.

In conclusion, judging from this CD, Rammstein is back with much of their old thunder. I would be satisfied with another typical Rammstein CD, but I am hoping they manage to stretch their genre a little more than the samples we see on this single.

If not, ehh, it's still Rammstein.

PS: For those of you older than 18, you may want to check out the music video to "Pussy." You can do an online search to locate the unedited version, or watch the edited version on youtube. Be forewarned: This video contains nudity (hell, it's basically a porno). Not very clever like their music videos of the past, but what it lacks in vision, it more than makes up in controversy. Let's just say that this music video isn't going to see much air time on MTV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back boys.., October 16, 2009

Being a die hard Rammstein fan, I appreciate they're new sound and new direction.

The single "Pussy" as the other user said, explains itself. Till sings about not being able to get laid in Germany, while at the same time, keeping some humor in the fact. This song does have some memories of past Rammstein songs, but the added material and Till's out of left field lyrics make this song one you'll definately remember whether you like it or not.

The music video is its own story. Full of nudity (complete nudity), and Till waving a German flag. The boys play different roles that explore they're sexual preferences, and then give examples, very creative.

This song is just one of the full 16 track CD that will be coming out on the 20th; and finding different leaks on the internet, I can tell you, true and dedicated R+ fans will not be disappointed. Rammstein is back with a vengeance and I'm loving every minute of it.


Welcome back boys, I have missed you..

I'm trying to figure out why self proclaimed, "die-hard Rammstein fans" are trashing Pussy and Rammlied. The the lyrics and overall theme of Pussy are no more or no less explicit/suggestive than their other works. Bück dich, Weisses Fleisch, Kuss Mich (Fellfrosch), Mein Teil, Mann Gegan Mann, etc. Come on people, even if you don't know German, there are websites with excellent translations.

Now, about these songs: Both songs are very unique. They definitely take elements from their earlier works and incorporate them into these new releases.

Pussy is by far their best English/German song in my book. The electronics and guitars are amazing. They struck a good balance between both languages. Rammstein is trying to be controversial (as they like to do at times), and it seems like it is working. Sure, they don't hide behind any metaphors or creative language, but I think it's cool that they do something different and be blunt in their lyrcis.

Rammlied instantly reminds me of something that could have come out in Herzeleid or Sehnsucht - especially how they are chanting Rammstein like the self titled song in their first album. Excellent, excellent. I love how the song starts off quietly with eerie silence, faint chanting, soft intro, then explodes into guitars! Awesome.

If you are truly a Rammstein fan, this Single and the Album will be very enjoyable.
