05.22.19 | Second time's the charm. First one crashed, I had a lot of comments with each song and might add them later today. Curious to see where you guys agree/disagree. |
DrGonzo1937
05.22.19 | no such thing as a 5/10 rammstein song. worst song is a 7/10.
cool list |
BigBlob
05.22.19 | disagree hard with a lot of this, but nice effort put in |
BigBlob
05.22.19 | 26 is 1 |
Sowing
05.22.19 | I only heard their most recent but I agree that Puppe rips |
0xME
05.22.19 | @sowing if you enjoyed that one you should listen to Mutter then, easily their best album |
Scheumke
05.22.19 | What would your top 10 be blob? |
DrGonzo1937
05.22.19 | also, orchestra mein herz brennt is probably one of the best tings they've ever done. |
BigBlob
05.22.19 | thats too hard, but in no order songs that come to mind first...
Reise reise, rammstein, speil mit mir, weisses fleisch, ich tu dir weh, waidmanns heil, mein teil, alter mann, keine lust, dalai lama |
DominionMM1
05.22.19 | widbifs is 11/10 |
TheCharmingMan
05.22.19 | Great effort put into the list but dam Laichzeit is top 5 for me |
Trifolium
05.22.19 | Nooooo! Laichzeit, Zerstören, Das Alte Leid, Los should be waayyyy up there.
Some great picks otherwise, band is super consistent. Good list man, what an effort! |
Trifolium
05.22.19 | ''dam Laichzeit is top 5 for me ''
Yeah this exactly. But I'm a huuuuge Herzeleid fan. That, Reise and Mutter are their best. |
Papa Universe
05.22.19 | dis a gud list |
frozencarl
05.22.19 | ich tu dir weh is #1 cuz it riffs hard and my mom used to get angry at the lyrics |
Rowhaus
05.22.19 | Laichzeit is waaaaayyy too low homie, also why hate on Pussy? It's awesome |
Trifolium
05.22.19 | My thoughts exactly. Same goes for Wollt Ihr Das Bett in Flammen Sehen, which I've always thought was one of their signature songs. Herzeleid is such an amazing debut. |
Ikarus14
05.22.19 | Shook my head quiet a bit, but it's a bold choice to attempt a list like this so kudos. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.22.19 | 9 is a colossal banger |
Ikarus14
05.22.19 | Oh yeah, and why is Nebel so low? Defo one of my favourites and a real tear jerker in the end. |
Scheumke
05.23.19 | It was a though list to create. It's always difficult to create a list that's completely without influences from your headspace at the time. I might have rated some of the Herzeleid songs lower because I was being conservative at the beginning, but I think its not to far off if I would do it all again (which I wont lol). I think Till's vocals get way better on later releases, the songs are more repetitive and formulaic and the production is a little outdated. I have Herzeleid a 6.9/10 though, so definitely a great record imo. I enjoy the rest just a little bit more. The fact that I rate 60 out of their 77 songs at least a hard 3.5/5 shows their consistency for me, and how close all the songs are. |
Scheumke
05.23.19 | For the record: I did not rate songs lower than others because I don't know them well enough. I've been listening to Rammstein since 2001 and know even Herzeleid and Rosenrot pretty much by heart, although its been a while before this since I listened to them. |
Scheumke
05.23.19 | @Rowhaus: In the grand scheme of things it felt reaaaaally flat to me. Like they did this exact theme and type of song at least four times before this, and all four better. I used to like it more before this run, so as a standalone single its definitely better, but in total it was one of the only songs I didn't really enjoy at all. |
Icebloom
05.24.19 | Oof, disagreeing with a lot of this list...Nice work though, and good job for putting Mein Herz Brennt, Frühling in Paris, Spieluhr and Adios that high.
I'd place Haifisch, Waidmanns Heil and a couple of Herzeleid songs much higher - and Dalai Lama would be my number 1. |
Icebloom
05.24.19 | Now that I think about it, I disagree completely with you on Herzeleid haha. Would place all their songs higher, except for the ones you rated the best, strangely enough (Seemann and the tt). Asche zu Asche and Der Meister would definitely make my top 10. |
tastepolice
05.24.19 | ass ranking |
50iL
05.24.19 | Los sucks so bad. One of my least favorite songs overall. 1/10. I wish I could nuke it. If Los wasn't on Reise Reise, I would have rated Reise Reise a 9/10. |
50iL
05.24.19 | Also Mein Teil is the best defo |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Omg Los is soooo gooood. Have you heard the Völkerball version? |
Scheumke
05.24.19 | I wonder what you guys would put at the 77/60 spots if the Herzeleid songs go higher. Would you put half the Rosenrot songs on there or something? |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Some Rosenrot, most of LIFAD, I still haven't really gotten into Rammstein, and some Sehnsucht is going to end up there too for me. Especially Klavier. |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | I actually love most of Rosenrot. But I loathe none of their tracks, same as you. Super consistent band. |
Egarran
05.24.19 | First I was like, this is pretty correct, but then by 60 I was like, they're all awesome from now on.
Why am I talking like this? |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Because you're turning into one of [I]them[/I].
...you know, the joke italics would be really cool if they worked... |
Egarran
05.24.19 | It's fine, I think in matrix codes already. |
Source
05.24.19 | All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead. I don't even see the code anymore |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Yessss. Recently rewatched that one and it still ruuuuules. |
Source
05.24.19 | Make sure to not rewatch the sequels |
Kalopsia
05.24.19 | Pussy last is a war crime. |
50iL
05.24.19 | The Volkerball version of Los isn't as bad but it's still kinda meh compared to their other shit |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Yeah I don't want to see those ever again Source. Once was too much already. |
budgie
05.24.19 | i haven't listened to this band in fucking years but i remember loving moskau. in like 2004 |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | The one with tAtU!!!!
Worth revisiting budgie, they're still awesome. Theatrical, grandiose, yet to the point and simplistic. |
budgie
05.24.19 | idk trif, do they have a DSBM styled release? |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Yes all of them.
Sort of.
Kind of.
...
No not really. But stilllll!!!! Reise Reise is worth every second. |
budgie
05.24.19 | reise reise is the CD i had in 2004 or around then, also... rosenrot, definitely haven't heard anything after rosenrot! |
Shuyin
05.24.19 | Live aus Berlin makes of most of the Herzeleid - Sehnsucht era stuff, IMO that live performance made the studio versions obsolete. Really, just listen to the first 5 tracks of LaB, they go so hard it's not even funny. Also Wollt ihr das Bett and Laichzeit!
AND HEIRATE MICH!!!
AND SEEMANN FOR THE BEST LIVE CLOSER EVER |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Haha, well, that's ok. Reise might be their best.
Mutter and Herzeleid come close though. Those two are amazing. And half of Sehnsucht is their best material, while the other half is a little meh. Don't skip them if you want to relive angsty teenage years! |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | OMG YES Shuyin, Live aus Berlin is incredible. So is Völkerball though. |
Shuyin
05.24.19 | LaB was my most played CD when I was a kid, I love it to death but I never owned Völkerball, guess it's time to change that |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Yeah it's totally worth it. I for one never checked the Live in Amerika or Live in Paris ones. |
Scheumke
05.24.19 | Yeah I own LaB on dvd. Used to watch it quite a lot. The production on the first two makes it slightly less enjoyable for me on cd. Def. good for the time though. New one also has one amazing production btw, but Reise Reise remains the best in that regard. That rec is like 15 years old and you could release it today, thats how good that production was. |
Trifolium
05.24.19 | Agreed man. The weird thing is, the more I think about Reise, the more I realise that there's no single flaw to be found. That record is secretly very sublime. |
Egarran
05.25.19 | Rammstein was a very controversial band when that came out. People were not ready to listen to the music on its own merits, they wanted to be offended by sleaze and fascism.
And Reise is a relatively low-key album so it didn't cause many ripples.
This theory is probably wrong. |
Trifolium
05.26.19 | True that. Mein Teil was the most shocking one there, or maybe Stein Um Stein, but they're miles apart from stuff like Links 2 3 4 or Bück Dich. |
