[iTunes Plus AAC M4A] Rammstein - Herzeleid (iTunes Version)

Rammstein's first album was about what was to be expected from a bunch of Germans who happily grew up on everything from Skinny Puppy to Depeche Mode to Laibach and back again, not to mention plenty of skull-crushing metal straight up. Precisely brutal and often brilliantly arranged — the band aren't per se inventive, but they bring everything together to make something astonishingly radio-friendly out of something that isn't necessarily — Herzeleid in particular is the logical conclusion of KMFDM's self-referential electro-metal. The band freely invokes its own name throughout the way that group did in its songs — the final tune is called "Rammstein," to top it all off — and the riffs readily connect the dots between the older band's clipped guitar bursts and their even more compressed nu-metal equivalents. The swaggering sass and stomp of "Wollt Ihr das Bett in Flammen Sehen" makes for a near-perfect start, and from there the band merrily — without a smile on its collective face — has a great, loud-as-hell time.(..)
