The Teutonic rockers have always produced music that worked for both headbangers and Goths on an industrial dance floor. While the latest album Liebe Ist Für Alle Da shows little musical growth from previous efforts it's vintage Rammstein nonetheless: beefy power chords; precise keyboards and vocalist Till Lindemann's mesmerizing trill and Germanic bark.
Rammstein is one of the few German metal acts besides The Scorpions and Accept to find any sort of mainstream acceptance in the United States. The only issue is that fame was primarily for the single "Du Hast," a radio regular and a staple in spinning classes to this day. Many listeners missed out on what Rammstein produced in the years after Sehnsucht, including their excellent album Mutter. Hopefully this album will get Rammstein back in the mix as there are several tracks that deserve attention and would entice mainstream listeners. "Waidmanns Heil" marches like a modern barbarian anthem and "Wiener Blut" has Lindemann's voice trading between shouts and monologues with overpowering guitars and synths.
