Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Formed in Germany in 1994, this industrial rock six-piece gained notoriety when they were found to be fave raves of the Columbine High School killers. Mutter is the studio follow-up to 1998s platinum-selling Sehnsucht, and a very menacing beast it is too. Vocalist Till Lindermann delivers growling German lyrics over a melange of explosive guitar, pared-down bass and juddering drums. But these 11 tracks are not all nu-metal stomp rock, as every so often the aural assault is broken by quivering flights of fragile pop melody. Songs like Spieluhr and Mutter are reminiscent of early 1980s synth-pop merchants such as OMD, proving that under the Teutonic Nine Inch Nails exterior lies a streak of lofty romance. --Lucy O'Brien

One of if not their best albums
This was the first Rammstein album I ever bought and it remains my favourite to this day. If you're new to Rammsteins sound this is definetely the album to start with from the slower songs like "Spieluhr" and "Spiel Mit Mir" to the epic riffs of "Mein Herz Brennt" this album is amazing and has a song for all moods. Dominant tracks include "Mutter" and "Sonne" but end ones like "Zwitter" are great as well. As soon as you hear the opening chords to "Mein Herz Brennt" with that orchestre you'll just immerse yourself into the album. The price too is good, as I normally see it priced up to £15 in HMV. For new fans listen to a few tracks on YouTube then buy this album - its worth it.

Third time I've tried to get this review on...
Never having considered listening to Rammstein before - what use could I have for German industrial metal after all? - I was sparked into doing so by getting the "Emigrate" album, by the guitarist in the band, Richard Kruspe. I am very glad I did. I can't add any new revelations to those listed below. Listen without prejudice and prepare your wallet for some action!

should go down in musical history as one of the best albums ever
This masterpiece has to be one of the best albums ever made. Eleven songs, eleven classics. There can't be many albums out there where every single track is gem. Mutter slips into my all time best albums ever with ease. It's genius,made by musicians from another planet with far superior intellegence to us mere earthlings. In fact it's probably the best album that has ever been made and I definately want to hear the one that knocks it off its perch. Hopefully Rammstein's next. If Rammstein get your juices flowing you have to buy this.In fact buy two copies just in case there's ever a world shortage.

The band's best album by miles
I own all of Rammstein's albums, and feel that this is definitely their strongest ever offering. The frenzied electric guitars and smashing drums are powerful as ever, and these really propel the legendary Teutonic roars of the lead vocalist along. There are some glorious tracks, especially "Links-2-3-4", which achieves the Rammstein signature combo of ghostly sounds/rocky sounds and will really get you rocking. The track "Sonne" is also a good example of this combo, and is something truly special when you can turn up the volume. All in all, this is definitely the strongest album the band have ever produced, and is a must for any genuine fan. Its also a great introductory album if you are not sure if you like them or not. This will definitely convert you!

Rammstein`s best album.
Defined by its all-round bubbley keyboard feel, this is definatley Rammsteins best album. The best song is Spielhur, as that is the song that got me hooked on rammstein, and caused me to buy 8 [!!] of thier CDs. All the tracs here are good except Nebel, the last one. Feur frie! is probably my 2nd favoirite of all the rammstein songs, and this album meats all the rest hands-down! I`d deffinatley reccomend it!
