as i said earlier, Reise, Reise, the new Rammstein album, is amazing. at first i didn't like two of the songs very much, Moskau and Stein um Stein. Moskau because the female background voice is a bit annoying, and Stein um Stein because it was a bit slow. but now i can find no fault with this album.

Tracklist and comments:
1. Reise, Reise (beautiful song, lovelovelove)
2. Mein Teil (a bit creepy, but the song and video are still brilliant)
3. Dalai Lama (wonderful song, i'm surprised this wasn't a single)
4. Keine Lust (~headbangs~)
5. Los (i think it has an acoustic guitar, i'm no musician. very different from usual rammstein style, but an amazing song. the lyrics are awesome too)
6. Amerika (song is good, not their best i think. but the video is sooooo funny/cool/brilliant)
7. Moskau (good song, not a favorite)
8. Morgenstern (wow. for some reason i just looove the percussion part... this song is simply amazing and has a choir in the background. maybe it could be considered a bit gothic?)
9. Stein um Stein (...probably my least favorite from the album. i think it's a little too slow, but it's some other people's favorite song so maybe it's just me)
10. Ohne Dich (~sigh~ Till's voice on this song is so beautiful... wonderful lyrics, wonderful song altogether)
11. Amour (love the guitar part. great song, but some parts seem a bit rough to me. but then i think about it and realize it sounds better that way)

overall, a brilliant album. i say it's now tied with Mutter as my favorite Rammstein album. it does seem to be moving in a different direction than the other R+ albums, but it is a GOOD direction.

all you people overseas better already own this album! and in the US you can preorder it from just about anywhere... it will be released NOVEMBER 16 2004. so i want to see every single copy disappear from the shelves on that day. ~already have it preordered at Best Buy~
