07.14.24 |  | Wir Sind Helden Soundso
To get this out of the way - Ode An Die Arbeit and Fuer Nichts Garantieren are two of my
most-hated German songs of all time. They are unnerving, extremely repetitive, and feature
weak, first-time male backing vocals for Wir Sind Helden since their inception. So when I
initially heard these two tracks, I thought to myself that this album is going to be one of
the biggest trainwrecks in modern German music history. But fortunately, I guessed
incorrectly. Because aside from additional filler material that slows the record down like
for instance Der Krieg Kommt Schneller Zurueck Als Du Denkst or La | 3.5

07.02.24 |  | Rammstein Reise, Reise
Carried by the hit singles Amerika, Mein Teil, and Ohne Dich, as well as sleeper hits like Stein um Stein, Reise Reise marks a great Rammstein record but misses their musical olymp by quite a margin due to the rest being mediocre filler material (Reise Reise, Keine Lust, Moskau, Morgenstern, ...). | 3.5
07.02.24 |  | Rammstein Sehnsucht
Sehnsucht is truly so much better than Herzeleid, it's sick...Better production (not good but at least bearable), much more hits, better lyrics (sometimes really scary and politically incorrect like on Spiel Mit Mir), great melodic lines that are different and distinctive on every track...my goodness. A whole nother level. They finally sat down in the studio, took a lot more time, and rigorously considered which songs should be included and which should be cut because they are ballast anyway. Top notch choices on here. Their second best overall after Mutter. | 4.5

Doesn't hold up very well tbh. The lyrics
are still as provocative as back then,
sure, but the production is simply
terrible. It sounds like they recorded it
in my garage and didn't master it at all
afterwards. Also aside from some singular
standout tracks like for instance Heirate
Mich, all is just one big sound mass aka
every song follows the same formula. Odd
that they were able to keep this up for
almost thirty years now. Thank god for
their fiery live shows, attention-grabbing
newspaper headlines, wild videos, and a
capable producer st | 2.5

 | c0nf1n3d Wow, thank you! I joined this website years ago and mostly use it as a journal in a sense to reflect on how I feel about albums during the time I listen to them. Opinions can change over time, so it's fascinating to go back and check out how you felt about something. It's really cool you got something from it though, so thanks again.

 | FearThyEvil Trust me, I get why people are disliking new Tool a lot but to me, all I really wanted was new material in closer vein to what they've done so it bothered me none to even slightly hear a rehashing of sound. To each their own though as I can totally see complaints from others about it.
|
| FearThyEvil I wasn't lying when I said most of my toxicity came from the earlier days. I may get into arguments in threads in once in awhile but it's only if someone truly says something stupid that needs to be remarked against. If anything, I should those soundoffs but the sites function is so annoying having to go INTO the soundoffs page instead of just deleting it from your ratings page.
|
| FearThyEvil In the Acres soundoff, all I did was give my thoughts on the album. If that triggers you, that's on you because people are allowed to have those thoughts. I love new Tool but a lot of people are saying it's awful, hey they're allowed to.
