New Rammstein Single

This post is going to encompass three songs, the third song isn't actually on the new single but has been leaked on to the internet so I'll be god damned if I don't talk about that too.

Track List -
1. Pussy
2. Rammleid
3. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da

Pussy:
In the opening moments of the song "Pussy" my heart was all aflutter with the glee of a 15 year old girl who just picked up a week old puppy and melted with the passion that I thought I would never understand, for I'm a man and these feelings aren't in my genetic makeup. We'll I learned why men don't have these feelings twenty two seconds into the song, as what could be misconstrued as being a moderately familiar drum and synth beat, only with what may be perceived as a wild reimagining of a childhood classic is fucking destroyed. No this isn't a cover of the song "Pussy" by the Lords of Acid, which I thought was going to be a rather funny mash up. Now I could say that this shouldn't take anything away from the experience because after all I was hearing a brand new song by one of my favorite bands. End result? I'm not going to say that, even a little.

What we've ended up getting is a mess of English being sang by Germans with the only German sounding like a shitty garage black metal band just threw it in for the shit of it, an example of this is the words "farfegnugen" "blitzkrieg" and the ever famous "bratwurst" making a cameo appearance. Now this may be one of those things that the band does that is lost on me due to me being an American, it may actually be a well thought out satire of the garage black metal band scene butchering the bands native tongue but I'm an American so I'm not going to defend them on this one. Also on the lyrical note the chorus goes like this:

"You've got a Pussy, I have a dick, So what's the problem? Lets do it quick/
So take me now before its to late, life's too short so I can't wait/
So take me now Oh don't you see I can't get laid in Germany"

While I find that last part a little humorous the whole thing just kind of fell flat for me. This has to be the most disappointing single that Rammstein has put out so far in my opinion.

Rammleid:
Okay this one is going to be shorter than the review of "Pussy". "Rammleid" Starts off kicking you in the balls and I'm pretty sure this is the song that they are going to open shows with on the next tour, as it screams "Set starter" in its set up much like the song "Reise Reise" did. The real issue with this track is they cannot get over their name as "Rammstein!" is shouted roughly 20 million times. This is probably the most mediocre song Rammstein has released to date. This is like going into the ice cream parlor and asking for a mint chocolate chip blizzard after a long day working in the sun and the only thing you want in the world is a mint chocolate chip blizzard, only to be told they are out of all flavors of ice cream except vanilla. It's just disheartening.

Liebe Ist Für Alle Da:
Now this one isn't on the single and you really have to wonder why, it was leaked onto the net a few months back so it seems like they would try to get at least some money off of it before the actual album hits. Well I listened to this one last in the order of the three, preparing for the worst after the poor showing of the last two tracks. Sadly I was a fool. This song has made me believe that this new album has the chance to not blow after all, it has everything I want out of a Rammstein song, mad snare drumming with guitars going right in time with them. This is the kind of song you can see yourself breaking your nose to, which I think is the best thing I can say about a Metal song (or whatever genre you want to put Rammstein in)

Also Pussy has a video out that I watched out of curiosity and well I guess I should have seen what was coming when I had to go to a porn site to watch it, pretty much if you ever want to see a roughly 45 second porn staring the members of Rammstein fucking super models with like three minutes of generic music video surrounding that, you will be in for a treat.
