How does it compare to Sehnsucht?

All I have to say about Rammstein is:
Translate their lyrics to english and what seemed like harsh German hate rhetoric turns into music almost as nonsensical as the Beatles early years stuff.

I just got Amnesiac, and I have to agree with Tile_boy here. The later tracks are better, but that could be just because I believe lyrics need to be present to make a good song.

Though, I don't understand why they didn't put Hunting Bears instead of Treefingers into Kid A, considering it was an instrumental song with a more "Radiohead" feel to it.

But then, that's marketing. Not to say Radiohead are sellouts. I bought this cd for 5 dolla' less than Kid A, so I'm pleased.

(oops, wrong song)

Sorry Case but i don't really agree with
your comments on Ramstein, so what if they
don't consistantly say fuck etc, there music is
good, and there latest cd Mutter is awesome, and
yes i understand their lyrics also.
But so what, bands don't have to be badass all
the time, do they??

I love the Beatles, actually. Have been a fan of them since early youth. I was just making an objective statement. I don't hate or particularly like Rammstein, I just thought it was kind of humorous that although the music has a serious, hardcore sound, the lyrics offset the whole mix a bit.

Its summer, what can I say.

I try not to retain a pale complexion.

Pretty warm and humid here too.

Steering wheel of my car burns when I drive.
But its really pretty difficult to be dissapointed, upset, or depressed about damn near anything.

Curse that sun, and everything it gives life to.

Its no fun listening to all my music either, most of it is rainy day type shit. So now its KROQ again, which means Weezer's "Hash Pipe" about thirty times a day.

So you prefer the later tracks, eh Case? I'm not with you on that one, i think they lose the flow a bit on the second half of the album. "Dollars and Cents " is awsome though.

Speakin of Weezer, does anyone have "the green album"?

Case B & Jogger...whether Rammstein sound fluffy like early Beatles or like bad Metallica...the thing is...the structure of the music. Obviously it has good structure, else they would not have so many fans.

Cannot comment myself (don't know enough about it)...but if Mags loves their music...that's good enough for me! Diversity makes the world go round...

Well then Britt I have too ask, does the green album compare to their brilliant debut? You've got them all? I heard "Pinkerton" was really bad..

Dark side of the moon is awsome, but the wall is the best concept album ever, with each song telling part of the story and relating and joining to the next in a way that just doesn't happen in dark side of the moon (except for the last two tracks maybe) or many other albums at all.

Am rather partial to "Umma Gumma" or "Wish You Were Here" as well. (Think "Dark Side Of The Moon" lurks in most peoples record/CD collection somehow!)

Isn't Pinkerton the album with the song "The Good Life"?

The acoustic version is so much better.

Shaking booty makin' sweet love all of the night, I wanna go back to the good life...

My favorite is Wish You Were Here. Shine on you crazy diamond is just a great song.

The Dark Side of the Moon though is really a great album and they made it before they sold out, so that's a bonus I guess.

Wish You Were Here and The Wall are much more pop-py.

I still haven't heard Animals , though I'm trying to get it somehow.

Take for example Wish You Were Here the song. I like this song very much but it's truly commercial. The Wall's theme is like "rebelious" and I think they did it really well great lyrics and everything one of a kind album, but all the songs have the same chourds some even have a disco beat. They sold out the music for the theme.

The Wall is about some guy goin mad and cutting himself off from the outside world, i think they do it ace, but each to their own etc, its what music is all about after all

If i were you i'd try and listen to Animals before you buy. It is...abstract.

I see what you're gettin at now. The Wall becomes almost a play, where as Dark side of the moon is based purely on the music.

Of all the albums I've heard, D.S.O.T.M has the best opener and finisher on a record. It still sounds great.

Lotus,

Have you gotten Travis: The Invisible Band yet? The music is all pretty similar, but I really like it. Its just one of those bands that can have similar-sounding music that's still all good stuff.
