Rammstein's, Amerika 7" 45rpm Vinyl (UK Edition) Single, 2004 2nd Single from their 2004 album Reise, Reise.
This is an awesome single! It's a nice vintage package artwork, format & all! Side 1: Amerika & Side 2: Wilder Wein (Exclusive Track) make an amazing single worth owning and sharing for future generations! Take good care of it. Trey

This is not the bands best ever single however I still like it quite a lot and it has a really catchy rhythm to it. Rammstein are everyone's favourite Germans due to the superb music which they are renowned for releasing. They have had a number of astonishing albums and a string of great singles and it is no surprise really why they are so popular as they are a superb band with a hell of a lot of credibility.
As I have already mentioned, this is not the best single the band have ever released however it is still a credible industrial metal single and has one hell of a catchy chorus. This is a well thought out single and has a cracking guitar solo towards the end of the CD where the band really do shine. The solo has come out really great on CD and I am sure that live it would sound blinding and would really get the crowd going. Rammstein have never been one of my favourite bands however I do own the majority of their CDs and have always had a certain respect for them and this single has certainly added to my respect. It is a fine effort from the German industrial band and will most certainly be in my CD changer for a while, however I sense that it is one of those tunes that you like at first but grow to dislike over time which is why I believe it is not the bands best single as 'Sonne' still puts a smile on my face to this day.
On display here is near on 4 minutes of good quality music that will please the already converted and possibly gain the band a few fans who are new to listening to Metal that may go on and buy the bands previous releases and be well and truly impressed with what they find. It is always great to find a band and then buy their earlier recordings and find them even more enjoyable than the track that got you into them. Rammstein may not be at their best at the moment but they are still producing plausible music which is by no means rubbish and definitely shows elements of genius from the band. This single is proof that there is still life in the old industrial band and should be more to come.

Amerika!- now in english!
6 Dec 2004
Format:Audio CD
That's right! Amerika is one of the three singles off of the new Rammstein album "Reise, Reise" (or "Voyage, Voyage" or even "Arise, Arise" in english). What a shocking song this is! My goodness! I guess that the best thing to say about this song is that you have to buy the single before you can really understand how much fun- and how unoffending- it really is. The lyrics are actually very pretty- and anyone who went and looked up the translations would understand the more melodic sad side to the song. I wonder what would have happened were this song released by an american group! Certainly not as much contraversy- you think that the new "Perfect Circle" album would attract more attention! This single is LOADED with great remixes and even an english version of the song that is VERY good! I also LOVE the Western remix by Olson Involtini! It's got GREAT sound clips and is totally jazzy! The CD also includes the incredible Orchestrated Opera version (not sung or played by Rammstein, to let you know) of "Mein Herz Brennt" it's amazing! What a way to finish! Kick back- put on this cd, don't get worked up about it- and if you do, turn to that "Perfect Circle" cd and perhaps you'll forget about this one and focus your energy elsewhere.

Amerika
28 May 2005
Format:Audio CD
This song is about American culture spreading around the world. Have you seen the video? Germany as well as other countries have helped a lot in the tsunami efforts. And the government as everyone knows is corrupt. You have to admit the chorus is addicting. Don't take this song the wrong way.
