Fantastic debut album from the industrial kings: Rammstein.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Herzeleid (Audio CD)
This debut album features some of the greatest raw industrial tracks the band have produced so far. The song 'Rammstein'is a manically heavy industrial track (one of my favourite tracks by the band to date!), and a fitting theme song for the band. The album contains less keyboard effects than the later albums, and is less technically perfect than 'mutter' but has chunkier guitar riffs, and still features the trademark interspersions of techno-style keyboard parts from Flake, although to a lesser extent. Till's vocals are generally more raw than they have now become, but this fits perfectly with the more industrial sound of the album. If you are a Rammstein fan, PLEASE buy this album, you will not regret it. It is a shame to say that many people who attend thier tours know only a couple of songs from 'Herzeleid', as 'Sehnzucht' and 'Mutter' are generally better known, so buy it now!!

German Warfare,
By Magnum Valentino "Preserving the integrity of... (Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Herzeleid (Audio CD)
Will Amazon let me away with a four-word review??
Dear God, THE RIFFS!! No? How about a 363 word review then? Strictly speaking, this album doesn't need another glistening review; it has enough fans. I really ought to be off defending something that needs the help like the rubbish Revolver or the misunderstood Bob Hoskins-starring Super Mario Bros. Hello? Still there? The Rammsetin of Herzeleid is a much different beast to that of later albums, the self aware Sehnsucht or the chart ready days of Mutter onwards. This is a raw hungry and angry document of, as the title suggests, Heartache. Band members have been noted as saying Rammstein is about love, in all of its forms. If this is true, Herzeleid is about messy breakups, shattered splintered dreams and beds on fire. Straight off the bat, the production is pitch-perfect., in no way glossy but ferocious as hell. The opening guitar on "Der Meister" sounds like a buzzsaw, while even the sombre "Seeman" contains heavy, heavy shredding upon closer inspection. The album is bookended with statements of intent; the chanting "Rammstein" of opener "Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen" and the menacing self-titled closer. In between we get nine other belters, with only "Seeman" pausing for softer emotion and the bizarre "Das Alte Leid" for slow chugging behemothity. Yes, I invented that word. These 11 tracks contain between them somewhere around A BILLION awesome riffs. Honestly, this band make AC/DC and Metallica look like beginners. The playing is self assured and the songs impeccably arranged with not as much as one artistic mis-step, from the mini-solos of "Weißes Fleisch" to the crying baby samples on "Das Alte Leid". I'm honestly surprised more dance fans don't dig this album, such is the relentless, steady pounding pace. Surprised, but not bothered, for this a metal fan's album, something - as a metal fan - to be truly proud of. This album is many things; the oppression of Till Lindeman's near-spoken vocals; Christopher Schneider's techno bea(s)ts; Paul, Ollie and Richard's world-class, neck-wrecking guitar riffs; Flake's OTT keyboards. It is also one thing; an absolute, must buy, timeless classic metal album. Please buy it. You must.

Herzeleid Review,
By Spikelineus (Redditch, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Herzeleid (Audio CD)
Putting Herzeleid into your CD player will change your entire veiw on the word MUSIC. Before you jump to any conclusions, RAMMSTEIN are NOT Nazis. They hav been given that image from the german press - thats what puts everyone off their music. Their music is in no way facist or offensive. Its fantastic. If your into Industrial music, this is a MUST HAVE album. Sombre vocals from Till Lindermann mixed with hard hitting riffs from guitarists Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers makes the main chunk of RAMMSTEIN'S unique music. Theres also Bass, Drums and excellent keyboard effects, which give the album its 'industrial effect'. If you buy this record and enjoy it, dont hesitate to rush out and buy 'Sehnsucht' and 'Mutter' the following RAMMSTEIN albums. For the ultimate fan, you might also want to get the 'Live Aus Berlin' album which is a 1998 recording of the bands amazing show in their home town. Bravo RAMMSTEIN! You have truly deserved an enormous 5/5 for this work of art.
