I'm afraid there ain't much to discuss so far, except from that 20 second excerpt of Pussy that was published. If I were to judge the whole album based on that excerpt, I'd say they'll go even further in that direction they took with Rosenrot; so Rammstein is probably going to become sappier than ever. I sure hope they aren't aspiring to become a second-rate Oomph! wannabe with this album.
I thought it'd be a good idea to bump this since two tracks leaked from the album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xW6MvF5RIIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SENcUhOS-68
...wow.I just saw the video of their song "Pussy", and it's like... completely overboard. "ooh what do we do for our newest video? I know let's put hardcore porn scenes into it!" - shock value, nothing else. Probably just right for 14 year old rebels
Ok, I liked the MUSIC itself, the riffs, the little keyboard noices, Till's timbre and sound.I didn't like the lyrics. They're too simplistic for my taste. If they've put some more poethic/dark stuff in it, like they usually do. Though I must say the chorus is fucking catchy.The video is meh, for me. Just like any other porn video I've seen. ...and the girl with Richard Kruspe (the partyboy) is too damn sexy.

k let me put this into mugen terms so it makes more senseYou know that "KoF Ryu" that has a few KoF Qualities but doesn't play at all like a KoF character?Amon Amarth is the equivalent of that, except with KoF being replaced with the genre known as "Viking Metal."Amon Amarth puts so much effort into being "Viking-related" that it tears away from their overall skill and general quality.They are speed/other genres of metal, and not viking. And tbh not a very good example of it.They had one good album, but it was their lowest rated (because fans wanted moar viking )Just like you guys have a "rigid grading system that doesn't really exist but all the smart people follow it" the same goes with music.k

It's more like a scene than a subgenre. While I don't care much for AA personally, I'll still prefer them over the likes of Children of Bodom.By the way, which one of their albums was their "lowest rated"?

lol wikipediaMusic is filled with elitists; they always claim to be what others think they are notRing a bell?Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyAlso, after taking some german classes, is your name pronounced "Falodim?
the difference in pronunciation is mostly the "a". the english speaking people tend to pronounce it as in "man", in german it's more like "rastafarian" (pick any a ) and a longer o
uh... I don't know any official term for those. "ü-strichelchen" is a commonly understood term, but it's hardly a good one
Maybe related? more informative? Just in case he really is talking bout those.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umlaut_(diacritic)
Okay, so an Umlaut is a short vowel with a sideways colon over it.Hell, makes more sense then English.We had this guest speaker, and one student was like "So who's your partner in crime?" Refering to his little secretary.."Vat? I am no Criminal!"And yet "I could steal horses with you" would confuse the hell outta' most english speakers.
Just bought the new album yesterday.I must say, I LOVED IT. Maybe it's just that I missed them, but bleh.Certainly, Pussy was, IMO, the weakest track on the entire album.I especially liked "Frühling in Paris".

Did anyone attend the LIFAD live tour? Last week they played in my city and the performance was so amazing, up to Rammstein's standards. Pyrotechnics, flamethrowers, explosions, Flake being bullied and burned by Till, Flake walking on a treadmill for half the show, crowd surfing in the boat, and last but not least, a nice "surprise" (I won't tell you guys, since it's better to find it out by oneself) for the "pussy" song. I missed several songs that they didn't play this time such as "Du riechst so gut", "Mein Teil" (the performance in Volkerball was so funny), "Mein Herz brennt" (either with or without Apocalyptica) or "Asche zu Asche" (so no flaming mikes, this time) The only negative part was the support group, Combichrist. Seriously, these guys sucked.
If I remember correctly, this was the songs they played in Barcelona. However, some friend told me they are updating and replacing songs for incoming shows, so don't take my word per granted. I believe this is the order they played, but maybe one song was played before another instead.1. Rammlied <-- I think they created this song for the sole purpose of being the overture. Btw, Till sings the song with a mouth full of LEDs 2. Frühling in Paris <-- there were a couple of sound problems with this song. The sound technician disconnected the plug by accident, Till then had to sing "a capella" for almost 3 minutes until the technician fixed the issue. After the song, Till went into backstage, and from what we saw there was a strong discussion there. Apparently, someone was sacked that night lol3. Waidmanns Heil4. Keine Lust5. Weißes Fleisch6. Feuer frei! <-- fire orgasm7. Wiener Blut 8. B********9. Ich tu dir weh <-- Till bullies Flake in this song. This is a very long and visual performance.10. Liebe ist für alle da11. Benzin <-- fire orgasm x212. Links 2-3-413. Du hast <-- fire orgasm x314. Pussy <-- big surprise15. Sonne <-- fire orgasm x416. Haifisch17. Ich will18. Seemann <-- crowd surfing19. Engel <-- they are playing the full song this time, in Volkerball it was only a recording.
i bought the album the other day, but i dunno. i didn't really enjoy it as much as i enjoyed the previous albums. I did like Rammlied, though
Thanks to the German media and parents association, the German version of LIFAD has been censored and it's missing the song "Ich tu dir weh".God bless Zensursula
That's stupid.... We have our own sense of responsibility yet others taken it very seriously without thinking. Screw censorship BTW.
