Benzin is a good song with the heavy guitars, and is one of the few decent songs on Rosenrot, along with Mann Gegen Mann, Rosenrot, and Zerstoeren. The combustion remix is O.K., but the smallstars remix is terrible. However, the single redeems itself with combustion remix by Apocolyptica, which is fantastic.
In the end, it is a good single with a few remixes, one rubbish, one decent, and one awesome.

Now I like Rammstein. There's nothing like the sound of a small country being invaded to gird the loins and get my Viking blood flowing.
But this smacks a little of barrel scraping. The band may claim that they had so many good songs left over from the last album that releasing another one was the only sensible thing to do. But with rumours of the band splitting or going on hiatus refusing to die, it may well be that they're going for one last payoff.
Because, although this has all the Rammstein check boxes ticked - strident guitars, military beats, chant along chorus - it is lacking in life.
To make matters worse, they've clogged up the CD with remixes, only one of which, the Kerosinii remix by Apolcalyptica, adds anything to a substandard song. The Meshuggah remix and the Ad Rock remix simply slow things down without livening them up.
Hopefully, this won;t be the end, because a band like Rammstein shouldn't end with a whimper, they should end with a bang! bang!.

RAMMSTEIN KEEPS ROLLING . . .
19 Oct 2005
Format:Audio CD
Rammstein is on a roll! I don't know how these guys keep coming up with killer songs, but they do.
So what do you need to know about this CD?
For the experienced Rammstein fans, "Benzin" is hard and heavy in the same way that "Mein Teil" was. However, I don't think "Benzin" is as catchy a song as "Mein Teil" but it is still shoulders, head, and hat above other songs from other bands today.
For the unexperienced Rammstein fans, if you like hard and heavy music where you can still hear the vocals, then this is the CD for you. And even though Rammstein sings almost exclusively in german (a plus, in my book), the lyrics can actually be followed and heard.
This single has 4 different versions. The first one is the original, just like you would see it if you turned on MTV in Germany like I did and watched the music video.
The second and third one's are remixes of the same song. I personally didn't like them, but maybe you will.
But what sold me on this album was "Benzin" WITH APOCALYPTICA!!! Yes! And I must say, that Apocalyptica's remix of "Benzin" is good, especially the first few opening notes, like you're about to walk into a haunted house or something.
One downside to this CD though is that it doesn't have the music video included. In the music video there is this HUGE firetruck that is so big that it takes up all 4 lanes of the road and it runs over everything. And the ending is a bit . . . funny/tragic, if you like dark humor.
Oh, and for you real big Rammstein fans that can't get enough, you can often get the latest singles as soon as they come out IN GERMANY!!! Just go to Amazon.de (you might need to know a wee bit of German to get by, but hey, you've been listening to Rammstein, so hopefully you've learned a few words here and there). Amazon.de even ships to Iraq!
Hope you enjoy the song, here are the lyrics:
----------------------------------
Ich brauche Zeit, kein Heroin
kein Alkohol, kein Nikotin
Brauch keine Hilfe, kein Koffein
doch Dynamit und Terpentin
Ich brauche Öl für Gasolin
explosiv wie Kerosin
mit viel Oktan und frei von Blei
einen Kraftstoff wie Benzin
Brauch keinen Freund, kein Kokain
Brauch weder Arzt noch Medizin
Brauch keine Frau, nur Vaselin
etwas Nitroglyzerin
Ich brauche Geld für Gasolin
explosiv wie Kerosin
mit viel Oktan und frei von Blei
einen Kraftstoff wie Benzin
Gib mir Benzin
Es fließt durch meine Venen
Es schläft in meinen Tränen
Es läuft mir aus den Ohren
Herz und Nieren sind Motoren
Benzin
Willst du dich von etwas trennen
dann musst du es verbrennen
Willst du es nie wieder sehen
lass es schwimmen in Benzin
Ich brauch Benzin
Gib mir Benzin

In Benzin's defense
29 Mar 2006
Format:Audio CD
I just noticed how few stars this single had and I thought it didn't do it justice so I thought I'd write a review. The cd contains Benzin (the first single from Rammstein's cd "Rosenrot") and three remixes. One is by Meshuggah (heavy metal type band), another is by A D Rock (of the Beastie Boys, if I remember correctly). The last one is by a band named Apokalyptica (whom I'm not very familiar with). All of the mixes are good but should it be a must have? I recommend buying this if you enjoyed the song Benzin a lot or if you are a big Rammstein fan. The remixes change the song quite a bit and it's fun and interesting to listen to someone else's adaptation of a song. However, I wouldn't say this is a "must have", because there aren't enough tracks.
