This single from Rammstein off their yet to be released album sees the group carry on the formula for songs that they developed on mutter. The song is made up from the distinctive Rammstein base and guitar riff that continues playing with the keyboard's over it. The sharpening of the knives at the start of the track give some ideas to what the song is about, which is the German cannibal that was in the news last year. Mein Teil translates to My Part. The other versions leave a lot to be desired. The first by the pet shop boys sees a strong dane beat put to it but it's still bearable. Which contrasts the next remix. A total dance track bt Arthur Baker looses the riff and all the lyrics bar 3 words. Totally unbearable and its over 7 minuites. The final remix is a guitar less one again be the Pet Shop Boys. This is also too long and not as good as their first but has sone interesting keyboards. Mein Teil is a great song but the remixes are poor. There is only one Rammstein and their not it.

A superb first single from Rammsteins upcoming album "Mein Teil" is influenced heavily by Armin Meiwes, yes that's right the "German cannibal" who advertised online for a dinner partner... a partner who wanted to be served as that dinner (he also made up several lunches, or so I believe).
Typical Rammstein then! I have never heard Till sound as creepy as he does here, singing as he is from the perspective of the victim rather than the killer, his voice is nasal and... different is all I can think of to say. Of course once the chorus kicks in we're treated to his powerhouse vocals and boy are they as good as ever.
Mein Teil is a wonderfully crafted song from the opening strings with knives being sharpened over the top, to the superb guitars and choral backing (is that a sample from {the original} Texas Chain Saw Massacre in there?) it really sets the bar for the upcoming album. According to music journalists this is one of the weaker tracks from that album. All I can say is... the rest of the tracks must be bordering on the divine!
Oh FYI, Mein Teil means my part. Yes, it means THAT part of your anatomy. And its being served up fried on porcelain! Das ist mein Teil! Nice!

If you were anyway anxious that Rammstein would not be up to matching the quality of the Mutter material on their next releases, fear not. Mein Teil is a storming return. Very atmospheric, macabre, and absolutely as heavy as hell. It's a tale of canabalism, based on the recent high profile court case in Germany. "You are what you eat" go the lyrics! And just wait until you see the video - it's a work of pure twisted genius. The end scene depicting the band as rabid dogs on a leash being led out of the U-Bahn station is hilarious!
This song will be a live favorite. Just right for punching the air and getting caught in a mosh. Fantastic!!
