What does your list look like and why? Feel free to share this video with other Rammstein fans, so we can have a little discussion here in the comments! :) Thanks for doing that in advance! - Dave
For me and, my husband, the best album is the newest one, Rammstein. Than is Mutter and Reise reise. The true is, that Dalai Lama is fantastic and one of their best and underrated song. Thank you for the video!
Madone! oops, my Italian came out for a second there..... Anyways, I would love to "debate" or "challenge" in a friendly manner some of your decisions. Unfortunately, I don't want to get into specifics in a comment because so much gets lost in text. Without seeing the gesicht or hearing the vox, one might be misconstrued. For most of your video, I am 100% in agreement .... not necessarily in your choices but in your reasoning, but .... and it's a big ole fat BUTT .... you talk about weak back half's of Rammstein album's.... yet, the album you pick as number one has probably the strongest last 3 songs ( stein um stein, ohne dich, amour) on any Rammstein album. I humbly ask to present my case, and I'm hypothesizing that we could find that the differences we have are more to our nationalty's culture than our love for good music. Anyways, not trying to be an Ass, love ya just would like to debate you
I only discovered Rammstein last year and fell in love with them and the German language! Also love your videos as they are informative and fun. Trying to learn German one Rammstein song at a time! Favourite Rammstein album Reise Reise favourite song Amour Amour. Looking forward to more videos!
I started listening to Rammstein when my daughter was taking German in high school. Sometimes with Rammstein, after you find out what the lyrics mean, you wish you hadn't!
I honestly cannot pick my favorite album or least favorite. I like songs from all of them. I must be simple-minded, because I love the "monotony" of the beat over and over. Schneider's drumming massages my brain or something.....😮 And Till's voice.....well, frankly, the man could sing the phone book for all I care 😄😄😄😄😄 and I'd still listen to it. His voice sounds "young" and less controlled in songs like 'Leichzeit' (spelling might be wrong, sorry) but I can still hear that wonderful baritone coming through that you know will eventually drop to a basso as he ages. And look at what we have now.....he's like fine wine and his voice has that rich resonance like a grand pipe organ in some strange desecrated cathedral It drives me crazy, I admit it.....
I still find it funny how I found Rammstein by accident when I mistakingly clicked on a Naruto AMV years and years ago. I would have forgotten about them but then like fate, my mother brought a box home filled with CDs and DVDs someone threw away. In that box was a copy of Mutter that had the song I heard from the Naruto AMV; Sonne. I bought every album after that and still do to this day.
01. Rosenrot 02. Herzeleid 03. Sehnsuch 04. Reise, Reise 05. Mutter 06. Rammstein 07. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da I'm a huge Rammstein fan. Spring and Spieluhr are two of my favourite Rammstein songs an Du riechst so gut (1998) is my all time favourite music video. In truth all Rammstein albums are great. It was fun listening to your list.
Rosenrot has my favorite songs on it, but it seems cobbled together and doesn't flow like Reise, Reise or Mutter (which makes sense given how it was made). As a result, I'd have to rank Reise, Reise #1. I felt there was a drop in quality and a corresponding increase in mere shock value with Liebe, and I haven't kept up with them since.
Thank you for the video! It’s quite funny but my favorite album is actually Herzeleid! I’ve been a Rammstein fan for quite some time now and I thoroughly enjoy all of their albums! 1. Herzeleid 2. Sehnsucht 3. Reise, Reise 4. Rammstein 5. Mutter 6. Zeit 7. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da 8. Rosenrot No hate just my personal favorites in order :)
Herzeleid is my equal favourite with Sehnsucht. So many great songs on those first two albums. Good to see another fan who rates the self titled album highly. A lot of people aren't so keen on it, but it's one of their best for me.
I agree, Reise, Reise is the best. Youre right, Rosenrot doesnt feel like a cohesive album, but i still wouldve ranked it higher since it has some top quality songs.
Such a random list for me :D since here is my list from best to worst: 1: Sehnsucht 2: Herzeleid 3: Mutter 4: Rammstein/Untitled 5: Zeit 6: Liebe ist für alle da 7: Reise, Reise 8: Rosenrot I just don’t understand how people say that ”Reise, Reise is the perfect album” because for me personally the only tracks I actually really like are Mein Teil and Amerika :D
I agree 100% with your least favorite choice. I would LOVE for them to remake the classics like Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen Sehen, Asche zu Asche, Weißes Fleisch, etc. I love the newer live versions of those songs because they sound, I don't know, fuller I guess? As always, Vielen Dank!
for me: Rammstein LIFAD Reise, Reise Sehnsucht (It was the first time I heard them, so nostalgia) Mutter Rosenrot Herzeleid I think you can tell a lot about them and their sound by their big live performances. I view them like this: Before Live Aus Berlin, Before Volkerball, After Volkerball.
Whoa, my list looks totally different! It might be because I like the more raw and unproduced sound of the earlier albums to which I'm always drawn to, haha. My list looks like this: 1. Herzeleid 2. Sehnsucht 3. Rammstein 4. Rosenrot 5. Reise, Reise 6. Mutter 7. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da Of course I love all the albums and none of them are bad at all!
I knew of them (Rammstein) when I was in High School ('03, '04) but I didn't become an actual fan and listen to them with purpose until 2010. I had wanted to take German when I was still in school, but it wasn't offered (still learning with Rosetta Stone lol). "Du Riechst So Gut", "Du Hast", and "Feuer Frei" were my first exposure songs. I really fell in love with their Reise, Reise album as well. It's powerful, for sure. I got to see them perform in Cleveland, Ohio with a friend in the spring of 2012. Thank you so much for making these videos - even the ones that aren't Rammstein oriented. ((Hugs)) from Ohio!
I was first introduced to Rammstein in 2001 when I heard "Sonne" and was blown away by it's atmosphere and punch. Toss in "Mein Herz Brennt", "Ich Will" and "Links 2, 3, 4" and you've got what I think is the band's strongest succession of songs to lead any of their albums. Definitely plays into why I place "Mutter" so high on my list. 1. Reise, Reise 2. Mutter 3. Rammstein 4. Liebe Is Fur Alle Da 5. Rosenrot 6. Sehnsucht 7. Herzeleid
I JUST got into Rammstein two weeks ago!!! I listened to every single album over the course of a week! My list might rearrange/ evolve over time! I gotta say! Mutter is hands down my favorite album they have ever put out!!! I think it will always be my favorite! Here is my list! 1. Mutter 2. Rammstein 3. Reise, Reise 4. Rosenrot 5. Zeit 6. Liebe ist für Ale Da 7. Sehnsucht 8. Herzeleid
Hey Danny, that's awesome! Then you may enjoy my 70+ Rammstein-related videos as well, in which I explain the German lyrics and more: ruclips.net/p/PLRdiyAo-09dLB1pf9CeahN0RBh3Ul2ZMQ Metal on and cheers from Germany! 🤘😁
I love all the rammstein albums but I really respect your opinion. You really make some interesting points about each album and is always nice to see the evolution of Rammstein. If I had to put mine into order, it would be: 1. Reise Reise 2. Mutter 3. Self titled album 4. Sehnsucht 5. LIFAD 6. Rosenrot 7. Herzeleid Reise Reise really works for me as a concept album and love the direction the guys were taking. Plus, the costumes, set lists and overall theme of that era were perfect. ❤️❤️❤️
This was great to watch. I have never really thought about my favorite album order. I like so many of the songs on each album that I don't think I could order them in any way. It really depends on the day and my mood. Vielen Dank.
Quite surprising list. I like you can agree on my fav and least fav albums, but the middle ones are hard to decide, they're just gonna be in whatever order since I love them all equally! All albums range from really good to god tier. Here is mine: 1. Mutter (a bit biased as it's my first album but even now it's just so freaking amazing) 2 (Middle). Reise Reise, Sehnsucht, Herzeleid, Rosenrot 3. Liebe is fur alle da (the production doesn't sit with me as well) 4. Rammstein (sorry but I didn't connect as much with this album as I did with the others, but it's really good still)
Ich stimm zu dass Dalai Lama dem meisten unterschätzte Lied der Diskographie ist. Was für ein SCHWERES Lied, und der Text ist ja sehr brutal. Es ist einer von meinen Lieblingslieder auf der Gitarre zu spielen! Hallo von Amerika, und ich mag auch deine Videos! Sehr krass!
1. Mutter 2. Sehnsucht 3. Herzeleid After these three the songwriting started to go stale, although I like Reise, Reise a lot. Can't believe how anyone can place Herzeleid as the worst and Sehnsucht as the second worst btw, these two albums are just packed with one classic track after another and pretty much define the band as a whole.
I agree with your rating, although I don’t think the song writing got stale after that, it just took awhile for me to appreciate what direction Rammstein headed after those 3 albums ! A lot of great Songs in Each album for sure
This video got recommended to me again a few days ago. With Zeit out now my list would be something like this from least favorite to most favorite: Rosenrot, LIFAD, Rammstein, Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Mutter, Reise Reise, and Zeit. Previously Reise Reise would have been my favorite album but I think Zeit is absolutely killer.
my list is: 1. Reise, Reise 2. Rosenrot 3. Sehnsucht 4. Mutter 5. Rammstein 6. Herzeleid 7. Liebe ist für alle da Reise, Reise has 6 of my favourite rammstein songs out of the top 10
For me: 7: Rosenrot, my favs songs are Spring, Hilf Mir, Mann Gegen Mann and Benzin 6: LIFAD, and my favs songs are Waidmanns Heil, Wiener Blut, Mehr and Ich Tu Dir Weh. 5: Sehnsucht, and my favs songs are Tier, Buck Dich and Eifersucht 4: Reise Reise, and my favs songs are Dalai Lama, Amour, Morgenstern and Stein Um Stein 3: Herzeleid, and my favs songs are WIDBIFS, Asche Zu Asche, and Heirate Mich. 2: 2019' s album, and my favs songs are Zeig Dich, Puppe and Hallomann. 1: THE best metal album of all times, Mutter, and I love all songs same, 11 titles, and 11 perfects titles, any metal band have doing better, and the band who will do better is not yet born.
Our lists are damn close. 7) Herzeleid - my least favorite album, but has one of my very favorite songs, "Du Riechst So Gut" 6) Sehnsucht - standout song 'Spiel Mit Mir" one of my top five songs of theirs 5) Rosenrot - standout song "Hilf Mir" which I actually really love 4) Liebe Ist Fuer Alle Da - standout song "Haifisch" 3) Rammstein - standout song, "Tattoo" for it's old Rammstein feeling 2) Mutter - standout song, "Sonne" but I also love "Zwitter" 1) Reise, Reise - standout song, "Keine Lust"
Mutter is their best album imo because most of their well known songs come from that album. The first 6 tracks are literally perfection to me Here is my personal ranking. For a bonus I’ll put my favorite songs too from each album. 1 Mutter (Sonne) 2 Reise, Reise (Ohne Dich) 3 Zeit (Adieu) 4 Sehnsucht (Spiel Mit Mir) 5 Liebe ist für alle da (Haifisch) 6 Rammstein (Deutschland) 7 Rosenrot (Wo Bist Du) 8 Herzeleid (Du riechst so gut)
My heart was shattered when Rosenrot was placed so low because it is one of my favorites if not THE favorite and Ein Lied is my favorite song. I do know it sounds a bit like a B-side kinda song and I think that's why I love it so much. Beautiful lyrics and a simple but "effective" (and rather somber) sound that I adore. I'm glad that Reise Reise wasn't low on the list tho.
I was curious to hear your ranking and I 100% agree. All though #2 and 3 are inter changeable on any given day for me. Dalei Lama besides Reise Reise are my all time favorite Rammstein songs lyrically and musically. Danke fuer deine Videos, sind immer wieder ganz nett und unterhaltsam.
I agree with your least, but I think Mutter is my favorite . I have a very hard time because I love almost every song but I must say Sonne is always music to my ears. Love all their albums but it was when I first heard Sehnsucht that I knew I was addicted and its been 20 years now and no sign of slowing down. I'm going to another concert in Germany next June if there's no virus, already have my VIP tickets
I don't feel the same way about your first two albums, but I can see your point of view about what you said, and I agree about Rosenrot. It's probably my least favorite album because of that. And COMPLETELY agree about Dalai Lama. I love that song so much! I love Reise, Reise, but I do feel that Los and Stein um Stein are throwaway tracks, but they aren't bad and it wsa my favorite album before Rammstein came out. Their newest album is absolutely perfect to me. It's everything they were, could have been, and will be in the future. This was really hard, but this is my ranking: 7. Rosenrot 6. Sehnsucht 5. Leibe ist fur Alle Da 4. Herzeleid 3. Mutter 2. Reise, Reise 1. Rammstein
May be unpoular opinion but my list goes: 1. Mutter (most of my favourite songs are on this album) 2. Reise, Reise (i like the more experimental or stylistic change after the 'mutter album) 3. Sehnsucht (my first introduction to Rammstein) 4. Rosenrot (an attempt to make Reise, Reise 2 which worked but they sounded like Reise, Reise Demos/Throwaways none the less i like it) 5. Herzeleid (i like Till's monotonous delivery Heirate Mich is a highlight for me just because of how many switch ups the song has) 6. Liebe ist fur alle da (Production... Literally the production and a couple of songs is what i like) 7. Rammstein (haven't listened to it enough to have an opinion)
Mutter is my 1, Reise Reise and the new album would be next though either 2 or 3, then LIFAD, not sure how I would rank Rosenrot and the first 2 albums. All are good albums but there are 2 or 3 songs on each that are not as memorable. Also the live versions of the early material sounds better, those first 2 albums have a very dry sound.
Rammstein is one of my favourite things, as is making lists. So I really enjoyed this video! Here's my list and my reasons: Rosenrot - I was really disappointed with this when it first came out. Spring and Wo Bist Du have grown on me since. I mostly avoid this album. LIFAD - Don't like the arrangements and production on this one so much. Not keen on the death metal drumming. Prefer the live versions. Rammlied is freaking awesome though. Reise Reise - Patchy. Love Ohne Dich, Reise Reise, and Mein Teil though. Mutter - First 6 six songs are great, then quality declines a bit in the second half. Still a really good album. Rammstein - Took me a few listens to get into , but made me fall back in love with the band. I like all the songs, I like the fuller, warmer sound, and I love that we get to hear more Flake. Was Ich Liebe is such a great track - the Rammstein equivalent of a power pop ballad. Herzeleid and Sehnsucht - Love the hell out of both these albums. That combination of slightly cheesy electro and heavy guitar riffs is so addictive, like a nostalgic hit of cocaine, caffeine, and sugar all at once. So many great songs: Der Meister, Du Riechst So Gut, Wollt Ihr Das Bett, Sehnsucht, Du Hast, Engel, Tier. Alter Mann is my all time favourite Rammstein track. I wouldn't change a note on either album.
For me it's like this: 1. Mutter 2. Reise, Reise 3. Rammstein 4. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da 5. Rosenrot 6. Herzeleid 7. Sehnsucht Mutter is a ground-breaking album, incomparable to others, really. It has the most singles, for a good reason. For me, personally, it really helped define the music taste I hold to this day. Sonne and Ich Will are beyond awesome musically, lyrically, and as music videos - true masterpieces. As for Rammstein songs overall, this is my top 5 list: 1. Sonne 2. Mein Teil 3. Ich Will 4. Benzin 5. Ich Tu Dir Weh
I completely agree with your bottom 3 choices. In that exact order for me as well. I actually put Reise Reise in the middle with 3rd place going to 2019's album. 2nd place goes to Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da and 1st place going to Mutter.
I must agree on your number 1 choice, Reise Reise is one album where I personally like all of the songs, it really is a brilliant album. I would however personally choose Mutter above Rammstein, and both of them above LIFAD. Although Rammstein features three of my most favorite Rammstein songs, I feel that it is easier to listen to the complete Mutter album than the Rammstein album, unfortunatelly Auslander and Diamand fragments the album
Even though Mutter is still my favorite Rammstein album of all time, this is a solid list. I THINK mine might be exactly the same, but with Mutter moved to the top. It's a tough one!
I understand Sehnsucht's place. Bück Dich, Sehnsucht, and Engel are bangers, but the other tracks didn't exactly catch my eyes or my ears I should say. I thought the album was really creative though compared to some of the other ones mentioned. It's just not my cup of tea for the most part. Yet, that album will always have a special place in my heart as the first Rammstein album that I bought. Also, Waidmanns Heil is my all time favorite Rammstein song.
I actually prefer the production sound of Herzelied to Sensucht. The thin, dry sound you describe is, in my opinion more prevalent in Sensucht and is the main reason I've never liked Sensucht quite as much, then again there are a few songs there that do provide more experimentation with sound and ideas. And Rosenrot I feel pretty much exactly the same as you. Zerstoren is awesome, as you say, but I also really like Wo Bist Du as a standout on a so-so album. Mutter remains my personal favorite.
sooooo fuckin' hard to decide, but here mine goes: 1- Mutter 2- Reise Reise 3- Rammstein (was so doubtful between this and Reise Reise for second place) 4- LIFAD 5- Rosenrot 6- Herzeleid 7- Sehnsucht . I feel guilty for ranking them; they are all top ones!
I got into Rammstein around the time Mutter was released (and because of it). I still think it's brilliant, and completely agree about Reise, Reise. Dalai Lama is one of my all time favourite tracks, as well as Ohne Dich, and Stein Um Stein ... need I go on? Fab album. Those two were standout favourites of mine, until the last one arrived - absolutely love it, although I wasn't sure about it at first. But that's an amazing comeback, and I now place it up there with Mutter and Reise, Reise - I don't want to choose. Not too sure about LIFAD (much as I love a couple of the songs, e.g. Haifisch) or Rosenrot, but there are no bad Rammstein albums, just less good ones.
Macht mich etwas traurig, nachdem Feuer und Wasser und Hilf mir meine absoluten favourites sind My list would be Herzeleid Sehnsucht Rammstein Liebe ist für alle da Mutter Reise reise Rosenrot
My personal list (super hard to make...): 7. Herzeleid (same argument as you) 6. Sehnsucht (again, same argument) 5. Self-titled (beautiful songs but i really miss some heavyness...) 4. Liebe ist fur alle da (heavy, which i really like, but not any real special songs imo) 3. Rosenrot (Reise, Reise part 2, has that same vibe and some of my all time favorites such as Feuer und Wasser and Spring) 2. Mutter (love the production and has some of their best songs, really moving lyrics as well) 1. Reise, Reise (same argument :))
Agree with you about Herzeleid and Sehnsucht. When I want to listen to these songs with more 'weight' I listen to the Live aus Berlin live album, which I think does these songs more justice.
I respect your opinion and agree fir the most part. The more complex the musicality and symphonic the more I like it. I agree, Till's monotonous vocals were not as expressive as later works. However your first is always the biggest love. Rammstein's song, "Rammstein" in David Lynch's, "Lost Highway". Mann gegen Mann, and Pussy sound more like Lindemann songs than Rammstein songs.
My list is Sehnsucht (Favourites: Engel, Bestrafe Mich) Herzeleid (Favourites: Herzeleid, Rammstein, Heirate Mich and Du Riechst so Gut) Rosenrot (Favourites: Benzin, Spring, Rosenrot and Zerstören) Mutter (Favourites: Zwitter, Feuer Frei!, Mein Herz Brennt and Links 234) Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da (Favourites: Rammlied, Ich Tu Dir Weh, Frühling in Paris and Mehr) Rammstein (Favourites: Weit Weg, Ausslander, Radio and Deutschland) Reise Reise (Favourites: Dali Lama, Morgenstern, Los and Mein Teil) **Just watched the video and found out that our lists are the exact same xD
I can’t really say which album is my favourite and which one isn’t yet because I simply have to discover more of their discography... But my guess about Herzeleid was right it seems. I honestly like it, it’s ok for what it is, I feel the “dry” sound to it is rather fitting to it, the riffs themselves seem pretty technical also. At the same time the guitar tone isn’t my favourite, I’m learning to play guitar myself and I found a somewhat similar setting to the album but I really don’t pick it unless I want to play something like Seemann or Asche zu Asche. Also, I don’t always like how it’s so “in your face” with the lyrics (though it’s just Rammstein’s style isn’t it? Perhaps I’m just not that into explicit stuff yet). Mixed feelings about it. But still I’d rather say I like it.
Hey man, greetings from Brazil! Nice video once again! You didn't even mention Raritäten! Why? It's the album of an awesome some even featured in the Resident Evil movie: Hallelujah. Many Thanks for all you've done for us here, Ich learne deutsch gerade und deine Videos hilf mir so viel!
My favorite albums are Herzeleid and Sehnsucht. Raw and had me since the beginning. Live Aus Berlin and Lichtspielhaus like for many American fans made me a fan for life. As Rammstein began to do more ballads and meaningful songs for wider range of audiences I adjusted to that pretty effortlessly. I loved it all and generally appreciated their entire evolution. The first song my daughter ever heard was Deutschland. She was born premature and my wife happened to go into labor the day before the release of the song. We were in the hospital for 5 days of labor, and I we listened to the song together in the hospital. I feel a strange disconnection these days from my favorite bands in my older age. I feel music gets lost or treated generically when seen on yourtube or other social media spaces, so I have not went out of my way to much to delve into Zeit. I will buy the album soon, but unfortunately as I get older my priorities to music fall behind a bit and it's likely I wont get into the album until later this year when I decide to get it on vinyl.
Thanks for sharing your story! :) If you want to, you can also check out my album reaction in which I listened to the album in full for the first time and share my thoughts, related German words etc: ruclips.net/video/cuKM5fdKoWM/видео.html
My two favorite albums of theirs is Mutter and their newest Rammstein/untitled one. All the other albums have one or two songs that I love but the two I mentioned have the most songs per album that I listened too. Idk with bands I'm personally never like oh this album era was like this or this was their sound when this came out, I just like music and I could put these guys on shuffle and like whatever came on. I rocked hard to Deutschland when it came out tho lol
I can understand and agree with this list, yet mine is a bit different. 1. Reise Reise 2. Mutter 3. Zeit 4. Sehnsucht 5. Herzeleid 6. Untitled 7. Rosenrot 8. LIFAD
Omg... The pics you putted at the begining... I'm a really young fan of Rammstein, so I've ever knew them as... Big shows like those of this year. Seeing them at the begining is incredible! The evolution is just... wow. Do you think you could make a video about German folklore (typically German children's stories or things like that)? I really like your videos and it really helps me to learn german so thank you so much ! About my fav albums it would be 7-Herzleid (it was the begining, Their music has evolved a lot) 6-Sehnsucht 5- Rosenrot 4- Mutter 3- Reise Reise 2- LIFAD 1- Rammstein. Maybe it's because it's the only one I really... Idk.. Lived? But I really love it
If you have a Prime account they have a Rammstein in American doc that can out around or after their Maddison Square Garden concert which was their first huge show back after 10 years. It goes into the history and early days of the band with interviews, clips from their early shows. I'm sure you can find it other then print but I really enjoyed it as you can see them playing 50 people venues in the 90's juxtaposed with clips from their sold-out Madison Square Garden show
Hey Dave, love this video ! Perhaps your could do the same kind of video but of your top favorite songs from Rammstein :) For my top album it's very different of you cause it's : 7) Mutter 6) Reise Reise 5) 7th album (match album) 4) Herzeleid 3) Rosenrot 2) Liebe ist für alle da 1) Sehnsucht But this personal top can changes a bit every day ^^'
Great video Dave. Here's my list: Rammstein (My favorite by far. there's only 2 songs i don't care for) Reise Reise (it doesn't take #1 with 3-4 songs i don't care for, but it is a great album) Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da (I agree with you about the thick sound which is why it just edges out Mutter. I do disagree with you re Pussy. I love that song. But i freely admit i like "bad" songs since even R+ themselves joked it was musically "bad") Mutter (Spieluhr was my favorite R+ song until Deutschland. I agree that opening track list is amazing) Rosenrot (I disagree heavily with you regarding Feur & Wasser. I love that song. But I agree its not their best album as a whole) Herzelied/Sehnsucht (tied. both appeal about equally for me)
WHAAAAAAATT!!?? Herzeleid and Sensucht are my absolute favourites albums! And that live performance of Laichzeit is mind blowing! Lol aaw this makes me sad ☹
I have a different order myself but it was very interesting hearing about your point of view (and it’s funny to hear what you often called “filler songs” are often my favorites ^^). So here’s my list : 1 Reise, Reise 2 Mutter 3 Sehnsucht 4 Rammstein 5 Rosenrot 6 Herzeleid 7 LIFAD LIFAD is not a bad album, it’s just a matter of taste. Once the novelty wore off, I realized I don’t really like any song on it but Wiener Blut (and I absolutely dislike Pussy). A shame that my favorites are the b-sides Donaukinder and Halt… I pains me to have Herzeleid so low because I love every song of this album, but I agree with you : they tend to all sound the same. Rosenrot is what it is : a collection of b-sides, not really a proper album. Even if I like many songs on it, it lacks cohesion; something to tie the songs together. Rammstein : I do like that each song has its own identity, its own sound but... I have mixed feelings about it overall (so probably why I put in the middle, I am still not sure how I feel about it) Sehnsucht : Ngl, it’s this high in my list because of nostalgia. And because of Bestrafe Mich and Klavier. Mutter/Reise, Reise : I hesitated a long time between which one was my favorite. I guess most people don’t like the second half of Mutter (which is a shame, Spielhur is such a good song, and Nebel one of their most haunting melodies) but even though Zwitter and Rein Raus are fun, I’m not sure their levity work that well in the dark mood of the album. Which is why Reise, Reise is first. Reise, Reise would be even better without Amerika imho (which is to me the weakest song of the album) but even then, this is the album where every song fit, either thematically or musically. There is a real common thread through the whole album.
for me Rosenrot is the no.1 rammstein's album. all songs straight up bangers. literally all good songs and no single bad song. but if they take te quiero p*ta out of it, maybe rosenrot will become The greatest industrial metal album ever created in the history of human civilization.🙏
I enjoy your videos, your english is better then my german ever will be, but i shall continue to try to improve and yourself and rammstein are helping that immensely, So i got a question the song du hast and everyone says about what till is saying, I looked in to german and as we know "hast" means "have" but i swear till also says "hasst" which is i am correct means "hate" in a older dialect of german and it sound the same except for a extended "hiss" at the end of the word as it also seems applicable in the context of the video to a degree, Am i talking scheisse or not? Lol Again may not of used that word correctly but hopefully you get it lol Cheers buddy Edit: i forgot to say i pretty much do agree with your view and hopefully the whispers of them writing material at the moment is gonna be something else 🤘
What does your list look like and why?
Feel free to share this video with other Rammstein fans, so we can have a little discussion here in the comments! :)
Thanks for doing that in advance!
- Dave
First 2 albums were way ahead of their times. They were the best for me.
For me and, my husband, the best album is the newest one, Rammstein. Than is Mutter and Reise reise. The true is, that Dalai Lama is fantastic and one of their best and underrated song. Thank you for the video!
Madone! oops, my Italian came out for a second there..... Anyways, I would love to "debate" or "challenge" in a friendly manner some of your decisions. Unfortunately, I don't want to get into specifics in a comment because so much gets lost in text. Without seeing the gesicht or hearing the vox, one might be misconstrued. For most of your video, I am 100% in agreement .... not necessarily in your choices but in your reasoning, but .... and it's a big ole fat BUTT .... you talk about weak back half's of Rammstein album's.... yet, the album you pick as number one has probably the strongest last 3 songs ( stein um stein, ohne dich, amour) on any Rammstein album. I humbly ask to present my case, and I'm hypothesizing that we could find that the differences we have are more to our nationalty's culture than our love for good music. Anyways, not trying to be an Ass, love ya just would like to debate you
@@jkinghar he has choses the worst albums as best albums, i bet he like backstreet boys and britney spears,
The first one and the three least favourites I agree ;) I would place Mutter on second place , Rammstein third and liebe fourth ;) but nice list.
I only discovered Rammstein last year and fell in love with them and the German language! Also love your videos as they are informative and fun. Trying to learn German one Rammstein song at a time! Favourite Rammstein album Reise Reise favourite song Amour Amour. Looking forward to more videos!
I started listening to Rammstein when my daughter was taking German in high school. Sometimes with Rammstein, after you find out what the lyrics mean, you wish you hadn't!
Me too, i discovered them back in july 2019 and they are amazing, they also helped me learn for the german classes
I honestly cannot pick my favorite album or least favorite. I like songs from all of them. I must be simple-minded, because I love the "monotony" of the beat over and over. Schneider's drumming massages my brain or something.....😮 And Till's voice.....well, frankly, the man could sing the phone book for all I care 😄😄😄😄😄 and I'd still listen to it.
His voice sounds "young" and less controlled in songs like 'Leichzeit' (spelling might be wrong, sorry) but I can still hear that wonderful baritone coming through that you know will eventually drop to a basso as he ages. And look at what we have now.....he's like fine wine and his voice has that rich resonance like a grand pipe organ in some strange desecrated cathedral It drives me crazy, I admit it.....
Yes! I'm with you on the monotony and Schneider brain massage. For such heavy music I find it surprisingly soothing.
I still find it funny how I found Rammstein by accident when I mistakingly clicked on a Naruto AMV years and years ago.
I would have forgotten about them but then like fate, my mother brought a box home filled with CDs and DVDs someone threw away. In that box was a copy of Mutter that had the song I heard from the Naruto AMV; Sonne. I bought every album after that and still do to this day.
01. Rosenrot
02. Herzeleid
03. Sehnsuch
04. Reise, Reise
05. Mutter
06. Rammstein
07. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
I'm a huge Rammstein fan. Spring and Spieluhr are two of my favourite Rammstein songs an Du riechst so gut (1998) is my all time favourite music video. In truth all Rammstein albums are great. It was fun listening to your list.
I almost never see another person ranking Rosenrot as #1, definitely a man of taste.
Rosenrot has my favorite songs on it, but it seems cobbled together and doesn't flow like Reise, Reise or Mutter (which makes sense given how it was made). As a result, I'd have to rank Reise, Reise #1.
I felt there was a drop in quality and a corresponding increase in mere shock value with Liebe, and I haven't kept up with them since.
I really love Klavier, too, in Sehnsucht, mainly because it took me a while to fully understand it, and also I like the more quiet sound.
So true, I love that song
Thank you for the video! It’s quite funny but my favorite album is actually Herzeleid! I’ve been a Rammstein fan for quite some time now and I thoroughly enjoy all of their albums!
1. Herzeleid
2. Sehnsucht
3. Reise, Reise
4. Rammstein
5. Mutter
6. Zeit
7. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
8. Rosenrot
No hate just my personal favorites in order :)
Herzeleid is my equal favourite with Sehnsucht. So many great songs on those first two albums. Good to see another fan who rates the self titled album highly. A lot of people aren't so keen on it, but it's one of their best for me.
I agree, Reise, Reise is the best. Youre right, Rosenrot doesnt feel like a cohesive album, but i still wouldve ranked it higher since it has some top quality songs.
My two most favorite Rammstein songs are Alter Mann and Feuer und Wasser. Both from the second halves of Sehnsucht and Rosenrot 😅
Yeah, those two also make my list of favorites! Such great songs
I love Alter Mann! It' such an underrated tune.
my favourite song is Feuer und Wasser. I love the drop C guitar and the explosive lyrics of the song.
Such a random list for me :D since here is my list from best to worst:
1: Sehnsucht
2: Herzeleid
3: Mutter
4: Rammstein/Untitled
5: Zeit
6: Liebe ist für alle da
7: Reise, Reise
8: Rosenrot
I just don’t understand how people say that ”Reise, Reise is the perfect album” because for me personally the only tracks I actually really like are Mein Teil and Amerika :D
I agree 100% with your least favorite choice. I would LOVE for them to remake the classics like Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen Sehen, Asche zu Asche, Weißes Fleisch, etc. I love the newer live versions of those songs because they sound, I don't know, fuller I guess? As always, Vielen Dank!
for me:
Rammstein
LIFAD
Reise, Reise
Sehnsucht (It was the first time I heard them, so nostalgia)
Mutter
Rosenrot
Herzeleid
I think you can tell a lot about them and their sound by their big live performances. I view them like this: Before Live Aus Berlin, Before Volkerball, After Volkerball.
Herzeleid last? Wow...
Whoa, my list looks totally different! It might be because I like the more raw and unproduced sound of the earlier albums to which I'm always drawn to, haha. My list looks like this:
1. Herzeleid
2. Sehnsucht
3. Rammstein
4. Rosenrot
5. Reise, Reise
6. Mutter
7. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
Of course I love all the albums and none of them are bad at all!
FINALLY someone who doesnt have Rosenrot last! such a beautiful album
I knew of them (Rammstein) when I was in High School ('03, '04) but I didn't become an actual fan and listen to them with purpose until 2010. I had wanted to take German when I was still in school, but it wasn't offered (still learning with Rosetta Stone lol). "Du Riechst So Gut", "Du Hast", and "Feuer Frei" were my first exposure songs. I really fell in love with their Reise, Reise album as well. It's powerful, for sure. I got to see them perform in Cleveland, Ohio with a friend in the spring of 2012. Thank you so much for making these videos - even the ones that aren't Rammstein oriented. ((Hugs)) from Ohio!
I was first introduced to Rammstein in 2001 when I heard "Sonne" and was blown away by it's atmosphere and punch. Toss in "Mein Herz Brennt", "Ich Will" and "Links 2, 3, 4" and you've got what I think is the band's strongest succession of songs to lead any of their albums. Definitely plays into why I place "Mutter" so high on my list.
1. Reise, Reise
2. Mutter
3. Rammstein
4. Liebe Is Fur Alle Da
5. Rosenrot
6. Sehnsucht
7. Herzeleid
I JUST got into Rammstein two weeks ago!!! I listened to every single album over the course of a week! My list might rearrange/ evolve over time! I gotta say! Mutter is hands down my favorite album they have ever put out!!! I think it will always be my favorite!
Here is my list!
1. Mutter
2. Rammstein
3. Reise, Reise
4. Rosenrot
5. Zeit
6. Liebe ist für Ale Da
7. Sehnsucht
8. Herzeleid
Hey Danny, that's awesome! Then you may enjoy my 70+ Rammstein-related videos as well, in which I explain the German lyrics and more: ruclips.net/p/PLRdiyAo-09dLB1pf9CeahN0RBh3Ul2ZMQ
Metal on and cheers from Germany! 🤘😁
Mutter has a couple of my favorite songs, Mein Herz brennt und Sonne. They hold a special place in my heart.
1. Sehnucht
2. Herzeleid
3. Mutter
4. Reise, Reise
5. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
6. Rammstein
7. Rosenrot
I love all the rammstein albums but I really respect your opinion. You really make some interesting points about each album and is always nice to see the evolution of Rammstein.
If I had to put mine into order, it would be:
1. Reise Reise
2. Mutter
3. Self titled album
4. Sehnsucht
5. LIFAD
6. Rosenrot
7. Herzeleid
Reise Reise really works for me as a concept album and love the direction the guys were taking. Plus, the costumes, set lists and overall theme of that era were perfect. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for giving Reise, reise the love it deserves
This was great to watch. I have never really thought about my favorite album order. I like so many of the songs on each album that I don't think I could order them in any way. It really depends on the day and my mood. Vielen Dank.
Quite surprising list. I like you can agree on my fav and least fav albums, but the middle ones are hard to decide, they're just gonna be in whatever order since I love them all equally! All albums range from really good to god tier. Here is mine:
1. Mutter (a bit biased as it's my first album but even now it's just so freaking amazing)
2 (Middle). Reise Reise, Sehnsucht, Herzeleid, Rosenrot
3. Liebe is fur alle da (the production doesn't sit with me as well)
4. Rammstein (sorry but I didn't connect as much with this album as I did with the others, but it's really good still)
Ich stimm zu dass Dalai Lama dem meisten unterschätzte Lied der Diskographie ist. Was für ein SCHWERES Lied, und der Text ist ja sehr brutal. Es ist einer von meinen Lieblingslieder auf der Gitarre zu spielen! Hallo von Amerika, und ich mag auch deine Videos! Sehr krass!
1. Mutter
2. Sehnsucht
3. Herzeleid
After these three the songwriting started to go stale, although I like Reise, Reise a lot. Can't believe how anyone can place Herzeleid as the worst and Sehnsucht as the second worst btw, these two albums are just packed with one classic track after another and pretty much define the band as a whole.
I agree with your rating, although I don’t think the song writing got stale after that, it just took awhile for me to appreciate what direction Rammstein headed after those 3 albums ! A lot of great Songs in Each album for sure
'Mutter' remains by far the best album of Rammstein. 'Reise Reise' comes second.
This video got recommended to me again a few days ago. With Zeit out now my list would be something like this from least favorite to most favorite: Rosenrot, LIFAD, Rammstein, Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Mutter, Reise Reise, and Zeit. Previously Reise Reise would have been my favorite album but I think Zeit is absolutely killer.
May have to make a follow-up version at some point! :D
Here's a tougher list. Favourite top 15 rammstein songs? I'd love to see your favourites.
I agree about Reise Reise. I remember being blown away when I first heard it!
my list is:
1. Reise, Reise
2. Rosenrot
3. Sehnsucht
4. Mutter
5. Rammstein
6. Herzeleid
7. Liebe ist für alle da
Reise, Reise has 6 of my favourite rammstein songs out of the top 10
For me:
7: Rosenrot, my favs songs are Spring, Hilf Mir, Mann Gegen Mann and Benzin
6: LIFAD, and my favs songs are Waidmanns Heil, Wiener Blut, Mehr and Ich Tu Dir Weh.
5: Sehnsucht, and my favs songs are Tier, Buck Dich and Eifersucht
4: Reise Reise, and my favs songs are Dalai Lama, Amour, Morgenstern and Stein Um Stein
3: Herzeleid, and my favs songs are WIDBIFS, Asche Zu Asche, and Heirate Mich.
2: 2019' s album, and my favs songs are Zeig Dich, Puppe and Hallomann.
1: THE best metal album of all times, Mutter, and I love all songs same, 11 titles, and 11 perfects titles, any metal band have doing better, and the band who will do better is not yet born.
my ranking (might change as months go by)
1. LIFAD
2. Mutter
3. 2019 album
4. Reise, Reise
5. Herzeleid
6. Sehnsucht
7. Rosenrot
Im trying to learn german and i stumbled upon this, i was listening to allot of rammstein lately and this was perfect! Thank you!
I love your content on Rammstein. I just love it. Thank you!
Our lists are damn close.
7) Herzeleid - my least favorite album, but has one of my very favorite songs, "Du Riechst So Gut"
6) Sehnsucht - standout song 'Spiel Mit Mir" one of my top five songs of theirs
5) Rosenrot - standout song "Hilf Mir" which I actually really love
4) Liebe Ist Fuer Alle Da - standout song "Haifisch"
3) Rammstein - standout song, "Tattoo" for it's old Rammstein feeling
2) Mutter - standout song, "Sonne" but I also love "Zwitter"
1) Reise, Reise - standout song, "Keine Lust"
Mutter is their best album imo because most of their well known songs come from that album.
The first 6 tracks are literally perfection to me
Here is my personal ranking. For a bonus I’ll put my favorite songs too from each album.
1 Mutter (Sonne)
2 Reise, Reise (Ohne Dich)
3 Zeit (Adieu)
4 Sehnsucht (Spiel Mit Mir)
5 Liebe ist für alle da (Haifisch)
6 Rammstein (Deutschland)
7 Rosenrot (Wo Bist Du)
8 Herzeleid (Du riechst so gut)
My list from least to favorite is:
Rosenrot
Lifad
Herzeleid
Sehnsucht
REISE REISE
Rammstein (2019)
Mutter
Mutter is their best record. There's no question about it.
I Love the Rammstein Album even if it's not heavy like the old albums, they changed the beat but kept the same feeling, amazing!!!!
Yoooo you used the Pathologic ost for the background music. That is awesome!!!!
My heart was shattered when Rosenrot was placed so low because it is one of my favorites if not THE favorite and Ein Lied is my favorite song. I do know it sounds a bit like a B-side kinda song and I think that's why I love it so much. Beautiful lyrics and a simple but "effective" (and rather somber) sound that I adore. I'm glad that Reise Reise wasn't low on the list tho.
Bárbara Lorenz ein lied is so awesome
I was curious to hear your ranking and I 100% agree. All though #2 and 3 are inter changeable on any given day for me. Dalei Lama besides Reise Reise are my all time favorite Rammstein songs lyrically and musically. Danke fuer deine Videos, sind immer wieder ganz nett und unterhaltsam.
I agree with your least, but I think Mutter is my favorite . I have a very hard time because I love almost every song but I must say Sonne is always music to my ears. Love all their albums but it was when I first heard Sehnsucht that I knew I was addicted and its been 20 years now and no sign of slowing down. I'm going to another concert in Germany next June if there's no virus, already have my VIP tickets
I don't feel the same way about your first two albums, but I can see your point of view about what you said, and I agree about Rosenrot. It's probably my least favorite album because of that. And COMPLETELY agree about Dalai Lama. I love that song so much! I love Reise, Reise, but I do feel that Los and Stein um Stein are throwaway tracks, but they aren't bad and it wsa my favorite album before Rammstein came out. Their newest album is absolutely perfect to me. It's everything they were, could have been, and will be in the future. This was really hard, but this is my ranking:
7. Rosenrot
6. Sehnsucht
5. Leibe ist fur Alle Da
4. Herzeleid
3. Mutter
2. Reise, Reise
1. Rammstein
Rosenrot is a great song and Sonne is fantastic
Great video Dave, always been a fan of your stuff. In my opinion song "Rammstein" is an acquired taste, but I get what you mean
Fantastic review! I think I agree with your arrangement of the albums for the most part.
May be unpoular opinion but my list goes:
1. Mutter (most of my favourite songs are on this album)
2. Reise, Reise (i like the more experimental or stylistic change after the 'mutter album)
3. Sehnsucht (my first introduction to Rammstein)
4. Rosenrot (an attempt to make Reise, Reise 2 which worked but they sounded like Reise, Reise Demos/Throwaways none the less i like it)
5. Herzeleid (i like Till's monotonous delivery Heirate Mich is a highlight for me just because of how many switch ups the song has)
6. Liebe ist fur alle da (Production... Literally the production and a couple of songs is what i like)
7. Rammstein (haven't listened to it enough to have an opinion)
Love Rammstein 🤘🤘 been listening a few years. I just ordered several.
Mutter is my 1, Reise Reise and the new album would be next though either 2 or 3, then LIFAD, not sure how I would rank Rosenrot and the first 2 albums. All are good albums but there are 2 or 3 songs on each that are not as memorable. Also the live versions of the early material sounds better, those first 2 albums have a very dry sound.
I agree that Reise Reise was the best album! I can still remember going to my local music store to buy the album when it released.
Rammstein is one of my favourite things, as is making lists. So I really enjoyed this video!
Here's my list and my reasons:
Rosenrot - I was really disappointed with this when it first came out. Spring and Wo Bist Du have grown on me since. I mostly avoid this album.
LIFAD - Don't like the arrangements and production on this one so much. Not keen on the death metal drumming. Prefer the live versions. Rammlied is freaking awesome though.
Reise Reise - Patchy. Love Ohne Dich, Reise Reise, and Mein Teil though.
Mutter - First 6 six songs are great, then quality declines a bit in the second half. Still a really good album.
Rammstein - Took me a few listens to get into , but made me fall back in love with the band. I like all the songs, I like the fuller, warmer sound, and I love that we get to hear more Flake. Was Ich Liebe is such a great track - the Rammstein equivalent of a power pop ballad.
Herzeleid and Sehnsucht - Love the hell out of both these albums. That combination of slightly cheesy electro and heavy guitar riffs is so addictive, like a nostalgic hit of cocaine, caffeine, and sugar all at once. So many great songs: Der Meister, Du Riechst So Gut, Wollt Ihr Das Bett, Sehnsucht, Du Hast, Engel, Tier. Alter Mann is my all time favourite Rammstein track. I wouldn't change a note on either album.
I have fallen in love with your videos... Total geil! Btw, my favourite is Mutter.
For me it's like this:
1. Mutter
2. Reise, Reise
3. Rammstein
4. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
5. Rosenrot
6. Herzeleid
7. Sehnsucht
Mutter is a ground-breaking album, incomparable to others, really. It has the most singles, for a good reason. For me, personally, it really helped define the music taste I hold to this day. Sonne and Ich Will are beyond awesome musically, lyrically, and as music videos - true masterpieces.
As for Rammstein songs overall, this is my top 5 list:
1. Sonne
2. Mein Teil
3. Ich Will
4. Benzin
5. Ich Tu Dir Weh
I completely agree with your bottom 3 choices. In that exact order for me as well. I actually put Reise Reise in the middle with 3rd place going to 2019's album. 2nd place goes to Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da and 1st place going to Mutter.
I must agree on your number 1 choice, Reise Reise is one album where I personally like all of the songs, it really is a brilliant album.
I would however personally choose Mutter above Rammstein, and both of them above LIFAD. Although Rammstein features three of my most favorite Rammstein songs, I feel that it is easier to listen to the complete Mutter album than the Rammstein album, unfortunatelly Auslander and Diamand fragments the album
Early Rammstein was so much better than new Rammstein .
@@gianmurrieta2148 unfortunately Rammstein got mainstream
1. Sehnsucht
2. Herzeleid
3. Mutter
4. Reise Reise
5. Rosenrot
6. LIFAD
7. Rammstein
Even though Mutter is still my favorite Rammstein album of all time, this is a solid list. I THINK mine might be exactly the same, but with Mutter moved to the top. It's a tough one!
Mutter is, for me, a masterpiece. All albums are quite good, but Mutter just has a grandness about it. Great stuff.
My list, which changes from day to day.
Mutter
Reise Reise
Herzeleid
Rosenrot
Rammstein
Leibe ist fur Alle, da
Sehnsucht
I understand Sehnsucht's place. Bück Dich, Sehnsucht, and Engel are bangers, but the other tracks didn't exactly catch my eyes or my ears I should say. I thought the album was really creative though compared to some of the other ones mentioned. It's just not my cup of tea for the most part. Yet, that album will always have a special place in my heart as the first Rammstein album that I bought. Also, Waidmanns Heil is my all time favorite Rammstein song.
I actually prefer the production sound of Herzelied to Sensucht. The thin, dry sound you describe is, in my opinion more prevalent in Sensucht and is the main reason I've never liked Sensucht quite as much, then again there are a few songs there that do provide more experimentation with sound and ideas. And Rosenrot I feel pretty much exactly the same as you. Zerstoren is awesome, as you say, but I also really like Wo Bist Du as a standout on a so-so album.
Mutter remains my personal favorite.
sooooo fuckin' hard to decide, but here mine goes:
1- Mutter
2- Reise Reise
3- Rammstein (was so doubtful between this and Reise Reise for second place)
4- LIFAD
5- Rosenrot
6- Herzeleid
7- Sehnsucht
.
I feel guilty for ranking them; they are all top ones!
I got into Rammstein around the time Mutter was released (and because of it). I still think it's brilliant, and completely agree about Reise, Reise. Dalai Lama is one of my all time favourite tracks, as well as Ohne Dich, and Stein Um Stein ... need I go on? Fab album. Those two were standout favourites of mine, until the last one arrived - absolutely love it, although I wasn't sure about it at first. But that's an amazing comeback, and I now place it up there with Mutter and Reise, Reise - I don't want to choose. Not too sure about LIFAD (much as I love a couple of the songs, e.g. Haifisch) or Rosenrot, but there are no bad Rammstein albums, just less good ones.
Macht mich etwas traurig, nachdem Feuer und Wasser und Hilf mir meine absoluten favourites sind
My list would be
Herzeleid
Sehnsucht
Rammstein
Liebe ist für alle da
Mutter
Reise reise
Rosenrot
My personal list (super hard to make...):
7. Herzeleid (same argument as you)
6. Sehnsucht (again, same argument)
5. Self-titled (beautiful songs but i really miss some heavyness...)
4. Liebe ist fur alle da (heavy, which i really like, but not any real special songs imo)
3. Rosenrot (Reise, Reise part 2, has that same vibe and some of my all time favorites such as Feuer und Wasser and Spring)
2. Mutter (love the production and has some of their best songs, really moving lyrics as well)
1. Reise, Reise (same argument :))
Agree with you about Herzeleid and Sehnsucht. When I want to listen to these songs with more 'weight' I listen to the Live aus Berlin live album, which I think does these songs more justice.
I kinda like the newest lindemann album but I'll pretty much like all rammstein song and albums.but right now I like frank Sinatra and SOAD.
I definitely agree that Reise, Riese is their best..i love EVERY SONG on that album.
Hilf mir, feuer und wasser and ein lied are the best tracks on Rosenrot
Awesome video! Thanks for your content!
My Favs. But I love them all:
1. Mutter
2. Herzeleid
3. Rammstein
4. Zeit
5. Reise, Reise
6. LIFAD
7. Sehnsucht
8. Rosenrot
I respect your opinion and agree fir the most part. The more complex the musicality and symphonic the more I like it. I agree, Till's monotonous vocals were not as expressive as later works. However your first is always the biggest love. Rammstein's song, "Rammstein" in David Lynch's, "Lost Highway".
Mann gegen Mann, and Pussy sound more like
Lindemann songs than Rammstein songs.
My list is
Sehnsucht (Favourites: Engel, Bestrafe Mich)
Herzeleid (Favourites: Herzeleid, Rammstein, Heirate Mich and Du Riechst so Gut)
Rosenrot (Favourites: Benzin, Spring, Rosenrot and Zerstören)
Mutter (Favourites: Zwitter, Feuer Frei!, Mein Herz Brennt and Links 234)
Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da (Favourites: Rammlied, Ich Tu Dir Weh, Frühling in Paris and Mehr)
Rammstein (Favourites: Weit Weg, Ausslander, Radio and Deutschland)
Reise Reise (Favourites: Dali Lama, Morgenstern, Los and Mein Teil)
**Just watched the video and found out that our lists are the exact same xD
I can’t really say which album is my favourite and which one isn’t yet because I simply have to discover more of their discography...
But my guess about Herzeleid was right it seems. I honestly like it, it’s ok for what it is, I feel the “dry” sound to it is rather fitting to it, the riffs themselves seem pretty technical also. At the same time the guitar tone isn’t my favourite, I’m learning to play guitar myself and I found a somewhat similar setting to the album but I really don’t pick it unless I want to play something like Seemann or Asche zu Asche. Also, I don’t always like how it’s so “in your face” with the lyrics (though it’s just Rammstein’s style isn’t it? Perhaps I’m just not that into explicit stuff yet).
Mixed feelings about it. But still I’d rather say I like it.
1 mutter
2 sehnsucht

Hey man, greetings from Brazil! Nice video once again!
You didn't even mention Raritäten! Why? It's the album of an awesome some even featured in the Resident Evil movie: Hallelujah.
Many Thanks for all you've done for us here, Ich learne deutsch gerade und deine Videos hilf mir so viel!
My favorite albums are Herzeleid and Sehnsucht. Raw and had me since the beginning. Live Aus Berlin and Lichtspielhaus like for many American fans made me a fan for life. As Rammstein began to do more ballads and meaningful songs for wider range of audiences I adjusted to that pretty effortlessly. I loved it all and generally appreciated their entire evolution. The first song my daughter ever heard was Deutschland. She was born premature and my wife happened to go into labor the day before the release of the song. We were in the hospital for 5 days of labor, and I we listened to the song together in the hospital. I feel a strange disconnection these days from my favorite bands in my older age. I feel music gets lost or treated generically when seen on yourtube or other social media spaces, so I have not went out of my way to much to delve into Zeit. I will buy the album soon, but unfortunately as I get older my priorities to music fall behind a bit and it's likely I wont get into the album until later this year when I decide to get it on vinyl.
Thanks for sharing your story! :) If you want to, you can also check out my album reaction in which I listened to the album in full for the first time and share my thoughts, related German words etc: ruclips.net/video/cuKM5fdKoWM/видео.html
The first two albums are my favorite ones
My two favorite albums of theirs is Mutter and their newest Rammstein/untitled one. All the other albums have one or two songs that I love but the two I mentioned have the most songs per album that I listened too. Idk with bands I'm personally never like oh this album era was like this or this was their sound when this came out, I just like music and I could put these guys on shuffle and like whatever came on. I rocked hard to Deutschland when it came out tho lol
My list would be%
7. Rosenrot
6. Reise Reise
5. Rammstein
4. Sehnsucht
3. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da
2. Herzeleid

I can understand and agree with this list, yet mine is a bit different.

Omg... The pics you putted at the begining... I'm a really young fan of Rammstein, so I've ever knew them as... Big shows like those of this year. Seeing them at the begining is incredible! The evolution is just... wow. Do you think you could make a video about German folklore (typically German children's stories or things like that)? I really like your videos and it really helps me to learn german so thank you so much !
About my fav albums it would be
7-Herzleid (it was the begining, Their music has evolved a lot)
6-Sehnsucht
5- Rosenrot
4- Mutter
3- Reise Reise
2- LIFAD
1- Rammstein. Maybe it's because it's the only one I really... Idk.. Lived? But I really love it
If you have a Prime account they have a Rammstein in American doc that can out around or after their Maddison Square Garden concert which was their first huge show back after 10 years. It goes into the history and early days of the band with interviews, clips from their early shows. I'm sure you can find it other then print but I really enjoyed it as you can see them playing 50 people venues in the 90's juxtaposed with clips from their sold-out Madison Square Garden show
Mutter is my #1
Hey Dave, love this video ! Perhaps your could do the same kind of video but of your top favorite songs from Rammstein :)
For my top album it's very different of you cause it's :
7) Mutter
6) Reise Reise
5) 7th album (match album)
4) Herzeleid
3) Rosenrot
2) Liebe ist für alle da
1) Sehnsucht
But this personal top can changes a bit every day ^^'
Is that a freaking Andriesh's OST for Pathologic playing on the background? Based
Yes!

Hilf mir and stein um stein is really like eachother.
Great video Dave. Here's my list:
Rammstein (My favorite by far. there's only 2 songs i don't care for)
Reise Reise (it doesn't take #1 with 3-4 songs i don't care for, but it is a great album)
Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da (I agree with you about the thick sound which is why it just edges out Mutter. I do disagree with you re Pussy. I love that song. But i freely admit i like "bad" songs since even R+ themselves joked it was musically "bad")
Mutter (Spieluhr was my favorite R+ song until Deutschland. I agree that opening track list is amazing)
Rosenrot (I disagree heavily with you regarding Feur & Wasser. I love that song. But I agree its not their best album as a whole)
Herzelied/Sehnsucht (tied. both appeal about equally for me)
WHAAAAAAATT!!?? Herzeleid and Sensucht are my absolute favourites albums! And that live performance of Laichzeit is mind blowing! Lol aaw this makes me sad ☹
Wow, mine looks so different :D
#7 Rosenrot
#6 Herzeleid
#5 Reise Reise
#4 Mutter
#3 Rammstein
#2 Sehnsucht
#1 LIFAD
I have a different order myself but it was very interesting hearing about your point of view (and it’s funny to hear what you often called “filler songs” are often my favorites ^^). So here’s my list :
1 Reise, Reise
2 Mutter
3 Sehnsucht
4 Rammstein
5 Rosenrot
6 Herzeleid
7 LIFAD
LIFAD is not a bad album, it’s just a matter of taste. Once the novelty wore off, I realized I don’t really like any song on it but Wiener Blut (and I absolutely dislike Pussy). A shame that my favorites are the b-sides Donaukinder and Halt…
I pains me to have Herzeleid so low because I love every song of this album, but I agree with you : they tend to all sound the same.
Rosenrot is what it is : a collection of b-sides, not really a proper album. Even if I like many songs on it, it lacks cohesion; something to tie the songs together.
Rammstein : I do like that each song has its own identity, its own sound but... I have mixed feelings about it overall (so probably why I put in the middle, I am still not sure how I feel about it)
Sehnsucht : Ngl, it’s this high in my list because of nostalgia. And because of Bestrafe Mich and Klavier.
Mutter/Reise, Reise : I hesitated a long time between which one was my favorite.
I guess most people don’t like the second half of Mutter (which is a shame, Spielhur is such a good song, and Nebel one of their most haunting melodies) but even though Zwitter and Rein Raus are fun, I’m not sure their levity work that well in the dark mood of the album. Which is why Reise, Reise is first.
Reise, Reise would be even better without Amerika imho (which is to me the weakest song of the album) but even then, this is the album where every song fit, either thematically or musically. There is a real common thread through the whole album.
for me Rosenrot is the no.1 rammstein's album. all songs straight up bangers. literally all good songs and no single bad song. but if they take te quiero p*ta out of it, maybe rosenrot will become The greatest industrial metal album ever created in the history of human civilization.🙏
I enjoy your videos, your english is better then my german ever will be, but i shall continue to try to improve and yourself and rammstein are helping that immensely,
So i got a question the song du hast and everyone says about what till is saying,
I looked in to german and as we know "hast" means "have" but i swear till also says "hasst" which is i am correct means "hate" in a older dialect of german and it sound the same except for a extended "hiss" at the end of the word as it also seems applicable in the context of the video to a degree,
Am i talking scheisse or not? Lol
Again may not of used that word correctly but hopefully you get it lol
Cheers buddy
Edit: i forgot to say i pretty much do agree with your view and hopefully the whispers of them writing material at the moment is gonna be something else 🤘
