5.0 out of 5 stars
a burst of heavy guitar acccompanied with catchy lyrics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Links 2 3 4 (Audio CD)
Links 2 3 4 is great single to get you into rammstein.From the first time you hear it you'll be humming the heavy guitar along with the dark lyrics.If you know a little German you may notice that the lyrics say 'Left two three four' which is an army chant but when said in German they use 'Links zwo drei vier' instead of 'Links zwei drei vier" this is because in the army they swap 'zwei' for 'zwo'.This is certainly one of their best songs and you'll definetly want to hear more.'Links 2 3 4' is taken from their latest album 'mutter' which is a fantastic contribution to any heavy metal fans collection.

Profound meaning abounds!,
By P. Bjel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Links 2 3 4 (Audio CD)
This single (released May 14, 2001) is the second to come off of Rammstein's MUTTER album, and is particularly valuable for Rammstein fans because it includes a slightly-different version of a rare song entitled "Halleluja," which was only released on the Japanese edition and a limited 2 CD version of MUTTER. "Links 2 3 4" is another catchy song; as with Rammstein's previous single SONNE, they extracted one of the finer songs from MUTTER and, combined with the remixes, created an entity of its own. "Links 2 3 4" also has an ambiguous tone, yet Richard Kruspe-Bernstein, one of the guitarists and the songwriter for Rammstein, in an interview, stated that the song was written to curb foolish accusations that the band were supporters of Nazism; apparently their hearts sway more to the `left-wing' of the spectrum, hence the title of this song. With this interpretation notwithstanding, the song is vivid, which is one of Rammstein's most defining and profound characteristics. The sound of marching can be heard in the background; a symbolic trait of this song, perhaps to portray the rhythm of their heartbeats (a word oft mentioned in the chorus) and to where they orderly turn. The song "Halleluja" is not quite as ambiguous, yet its imagery does not falter. This particular song is about derangement and religion, seen and experienced through the eyes of a pastor. The tracklisting of this CD single is as follows: (1) Links 2 3 4 (3:36) The three remixes of "Links 2 3 4" are pretty good: Clawfinger are practically on a par with Rammstein's music; their contributions and remixes of Rammstein's song turns it almost into an entirely different song. As for Westbam, which remixed the song twice (tracks 4 and 5), I don't feel that they quite match Clawfinger's caliber in remixing Rammstein's songs. Track 5, which is instrumental, is quite good, though Track 4 seems far too long, appears `stretched,' and its electrical enhancement of vocalist Till Lindemann's voice are very sore. These faults notwithstanding, LINKS 2 3 4 is a welcome addition to Rammstein's growing genius and uniqueness. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Links Zwo Drei Vier!,
By Adan Rand - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Links 2 3 4 (Audio CD)
Well this is there second single of the new "mutter"(mother) album the d contains Links-2-3-4 and Hallaluja(h) and some links remixes the song (meaning left 2-3-4) is a political statement from the Berlin boys telling us exactly were there heart beats,Left.Contradicting claims they are right wing (e.g NAZI) this is a very fast tune and great lyrics one of the best songs off the new album a MUST buy for all Rammsteiners and even those who arn't. The bonus song Hallaluja(h) is also a great song which is a secret trach on the jappanese editon of Mutter.All in all a great songle buy.

Marvel at this single!,
By Hilary Amon "Gumby" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Links 2 3 4 (Audio CD)
Links 2 3 4 is a great military style song, and if you own Mutter, you probably already knew that. If you don't own Mutter and are trying to track down the song, you might consider buying Mutter instead because you'll get more more songs for less money. The only down side to that is you'll miss out on the song "Halleluja" and the remixes of Links 2 3 4.
Halleluja is a song that demands to be marveled at. This is how it sounds to me: Rammstein meets Cirque du Soleil. Sound like a good song to you? It's got the hard rock and incredibly deep lyrics you'd expect from Rammstein, with a slightly unusual twist to the sound. While the pure Rammstein sound stands up front, the background sounds are very smooth and fluid. There are also background vocals in the chorus, and although they do originate from Flake's keyboard rather than a person, they sound realistic and would fit right in a Cirque du Soleil show. Ultimately, the entire song would be unusual, but not really that unusual in a Cirque show. This song gives is a very interesting combiation of sounds and feelings, and produces vast imagery. The Links 2 3 4 remixes weren't that bad either... for the most part. Wenn zwei welten zusammenstoßen, das ist wo die weite Enden des Universums treffen. |
