What do you get when you take a German quartet, add electronics, and thundering
guitars? The smart answer would be Die Krupps, but in this case the band in
question is Rammstein. The two key differences between Die Krupps and Rammstein
is that Rammstein prefers to sing in German, and they have absolutely no clue
how to mix the guitars into their music. Just when the electronics start to
get interesting, they are suddenly overwhelmed by a wall of guitars. The end
effect is that the electronics become totally washed out and are totally
pointless to even include on the album. Rammstein definitely needs a good
engineer to work on their material, so that the subtle balance between
electronics and guitars can be attained without having to sacrifice the
benefits of either. The other downside to the material is that if you
don't happen to understand German, the lyrics are also pointless.
At least Rammstein include English versions of two tracks, but
who really wants to know that 'Buck Dich' means 'Bend Over'?
