    As a native speaker I can tell you, the lyrics are incredible. Such good play on words and there are always different layers of meaning here. For example, the last Track NEBEL means fog, but the lyrics are about a loved person passing away and NEBEL backwarts is LEBEN, which means life. Also, the lead singer is an author of various poetry books. Though, the lyrics are often very controversial. Maybe, for the next reaction, you can consider reading the translated lyrics :)

    Definetly my favorite album of theirs. Love the mix of heavyness, epicness and the beautifully written lyrics.
    Fun fact: "Links 2 3 4" is their response to all the accusations like "Rammstein is a Nazi-Band" n stuff.
    The pre-chorus basically translates to "They want my heart on the right side but when I check I feel it beating on the left", pretty self-explanatory. xD

    Mutter was the first album I had as a child and it was what made me the music lover I am today (my mom gave it to me for Christmas so it was especially symbolic). I can tell you from personal experience that listening to ANY Rammstein album grows when you understand Till's lyrics, which flawlessly infuse the songs with dark poetry and a twisted sense of humor.
    It would be VERY interesting if you get to know the band following an alternative route and react to their excellent latest album "ZEIT" before the rest of the classics.

    I don't think I have ever seen someone get introduced to and react to Rammstein in this way, but I love it! This is a quite a good album to start with, but you are sadly missing greatly out on not knowing the lyrics. Rammstein's singer and writer Till Lindemann is a great poet, and the songs often contain a story or a deep meaning, and often not hiding away from controversial topics...
    I really hope you continue the Rammstein journey, be it with more albums, music videos or live shows ( Rammstein are VERY known for their live shows lol). They do have their own keyboardist/synthesizer who adds all those effects, like the angelic voice in Sonne.
    These are the song topics in this album
    1. Mein Herz Brennt: Children nightmares and "Der Sandmann".
    2. Links 2 3 4: A song they wrote stating how their heart beats left, as a response to everyone calling them nazis.
    3. Sonne: Written as a boxing entrance to an ukrainian boxer back in 2001 called Vitali Klitschko ( Now mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine)
    4. Ich Will: Not a deep song, considered as simply a crowd interaction song, but deeper can be about wanting to be heard and seen, or misunderstood.
    5. Feuer Frei: Not a deep song at all, just "Fire at will" about releasing anger
    6. Mutter: About a person who never had a mother, as he was born in an incubator as an experiment. Also about the singer and guitarists struggle with their mothers in real life.
    7. Spieluhr: About a child who wanted to be alone, so she faked her death, and got buried alive.
    8. Zwitter: About a hermaphrodite, that tackles narcissism and bisexuality.
    9. Rein Raus: well uh its about s*x. The title is simply "In Out"... The singer Till Lindemann really loves S*x...
    10. Zwitter: A person dying of an overdose
    11. Nebel: A song about a couple sharing their final moments together, with a walk on the beach and a final kiss, before the woman dies.

    Rein, raus...basically means in, out...so its a song about sex. They often use more complex metaphors or innuendos for some sort of sexual intercourse (not shying away from very dark themes like abuse), but they are pretty straight forward in this one.
    Sonne translates to sun. This song was written for a boxer (initially called sieger, which means winner or victor) as his entrance music but Klitschko thought it was too hard, so they rearranged the lyrics a bit and made it about the sun. Thats also the reason why they use so much counting in the song.
    Ich will (I want) is basically a song where they criticise the view german media has on them, praising them one hand and giving them prizes but at the same time bad mouthing them for their controversial things/themes (becoming a bit clearer if you watch the music video). Its a song that, like you picked up, where they ask the crowd and the crowd answers (can you hear us, can you see us, can you feel us...where the crowd basically answers with yes we can).
    Mutter means mother, its about a child that was created artificially and yearns for a mother, but cant have one and hates its life and the imaginary mother that he hates for not being there (heavily inspired by Frankenstein). It was also a way to deal with the damaged/tough relationships both the singer (Till) and guitarist (Richard) have/had(?) with their mothers.
    Like someone suggested, maybe you should read translated lyrics before or after the song. Make sure to get one of the good ones though, there are some spotty one on the net, the good ones even provide some context and explain some double meanings in their lyrics.

    A couple pronunciation tips. The "ei" sound is like "eye" as opposed to "ee". Think "Einstein". The "W" is more a "V" sound. And if I remember right, if a word ends with an "e", for example Sonne, it is said like "uh". And with the "S" being a "Z" sound in this case, the word Sonne would be more like Zo-n-nuh. Its been a while since I studied German, but I'm fairly certain this is correct.
    All that being said, I love these full album reactions. I have yet to hear a Rammstein song, let alone album, I didn't like. They are an amazing band, and definitely worth exploring further.

    What I remember most when first hearing this record was feeling like I finally had evidence they were influenced by a Yugoslavian (not sure what territory they are from but Yugoslavia was a country when I was introduced to them) band, Laibach. The internet still wasn't what it is now so really didn't have a clear answer to what I had been wondering since hearing their earlier records. The opening track, 'Links 2 3 4', and 'Feuer Frei' felt very much in line with Laibach who I had been enjoying at that point since the late 80's.
    In the late 80's the owner of the record store I shopped at knew I am a Queen fan and introduced me to this song called 'Geburt Einer Nation' which musically was a cover of 'One Vision'. Lyrically though I could tell it wasn't a simple translation into a foreign tongue. This happens often, for those who don't know, for example the 80's classic from Nina, '99 Luftballoons'.
    Laibach has similar bass vocalist at the forefront but take a much more avant-garde approach to their industrial sound rather than metal. They also parody European military iconography in their image along with military, nationalist, and totalitarian themes lyrically which turns off many. I can see anyone discovering them today not seeing the irony and joke; especially in our current political times compared to the 80's when they emerged trying to show that totalitarian ideas were not gone. Sadly they have been proven right.
    Sorry to throw in politics but unfortunately hard to ignore when discussing them or even Rammstein where especially Mutter had some questioning the bands politics.

    I got this album shortly after release when I was in middle school. I wore this album the fuck out, listening to it close to every day for the first year and once a week after for a few years. Still my favorite of theirs and one of my favorite albums of all time. My most memorable time with it was listening to it while laying on my trampoline in the cool air of the fall after my girlfriend and I broke up. Good times.

    You should definitely check up English lyrics for Rammstein. The lead singer is also a poet, so you might find some clever social commentary every now and then. Also, you'd be surprised how similar some German and English words might be.

    I watch a fair bit of react content and your reactions are pretty unique I feel, I've been watching your videos here and there for a while now and it always feels like I'm watching a radio broadcast. There's also something very open about your style, you come across as very unassuming. I love how you can listen to the gnarliest lyrically super fucked up stuff and just be like "I really love how the guitar builds with the energy of the lyrics". This reaction in particular is pretty funny to me, I live in the Netherlands which means German is a very recognizeable language for me. Despite the fact that you clearly have 0 clue what's going on with the lyrics you still pick up on some cool stuff instrumentally, and well, there's just something comedic about someone with a very American accent pronouncing the song titles and the band's name. It reminds me of Brad Pitt in Inglorious Bastards when he greets people in Italian. I'm not entirely sure why I felt the need to write all that out but what I'm trying to say is I think you got something pretty unique going on here and I think that's great. Keep it up!

    • @mollyesanborn
      @mollyesanborn  2 роки тому +1

      Haha, I loved reading this comment! Glad you found the reaction entertaining with my very American pronunciations of the German titles. And yeah, I do try and keep a pretty open mind with music. Even if the lyrics are in English it usually does take me several listens to an album to start picking up on most of the lyrics. It was really interesting giving a German band a listen though!

I used to speak German which is what drew me but you don't need to understand because the sound they make is visceral, almost instinctual. Great review once again hope you do more Rammstein, been waiting for their concert that was cancelled the first year of covid, cancelled again last year and now 2022 Sept it happens (I hope).

    Rammstein are in my top 3 bands of all time. I actually prefer not knowing what the lyrics mean. They have amazing music videos and their live shows have crazy and creative pyrotechnics. The guitars in this band are so damn good, the tone, the clean but cutting quality. This album doesn't have a weak song...it's almost all killer. Sonne, Ich Will, Adios and Speiluhr are my favs.

    • @Nitro20101

    • @themetalpig7613
      @themetalpig7613 2 роки тому

      @@Nitro20101 Well when I first started listening to them, the internet wasn't very prolific, so I didn't have access to the lyrics. And I loved them regardless of not understanding German. I've since seen the translation of a few songs and some have rather simplistic, almost silly lyrics that almost put me off those songs that already gave me a certain emotional feeling when I was ignorant to the lyrics...plus I've been burnt in the past where I thought lyrics said one thing, then found out there was a word I wasn't hearing correctly and it spoiled what the song meant for me. eg: Static X - Love Dump, I always thought it said "Happy Alive" but years later found out it was "Hand me a line" and it ruined that songs impact for me. So with Rammstein, I go by the feel/emotion of the lyrics and get so much out of the guitars, drums etc that ignorance is bliss when it comes to knowing what their lyrics are. Altho I do know a few of the more popular songs meanings.

    • @mollyesanborn
      @mollyesanborn  2 роки тому +1

      I will definitely have to give their music videos a watch now, some others have mentioned them as well. And yes, those guitars are amazing!! One of the standouts on this album for me as well. And about your point in your other comment about not knowing the lyrics, I can totally relate. Sometimes it's all about the feel for me too. Even songs with English lyrics that I understand I usually don't pay much attention to the words at first, and sometimes after I start to analyze and pick apart the lyrics the song can lose something for me. So I feel you on that point. Although in other cases knowing the lyrics has elevated a song for me too, so I guess it can swing either way.

    • @themetalpig7613
      @themetalpig7613 2 роки тому +1

      @@mollyesanborn Yeah it can definitely swing both ways for me too. I think particularly with Rammstein, I was already so into them before their lyrics became accessible to me that I didn't want to risk it. Plus listening to metal you can barely decipher the vocals sometimes anyway, so you learn to live without. Lol!

    Rammstein breaks expectations every time 😁
    They certainly have one of the best audio engineers you can get. Live and in the studio.
    To understand the lyrics is another level but Rammstein is very good for interpretations because they deliver really deep and twisted stuff.
    Please do their first LP next.
