Music Review: Rammstein - Made In Germany 1995-2011 - Page 2

The second disc in this set contains seventeen remixes of Rammstein songs by familiar groups such as Faith No More and the Pet Shop Boys, as well as a lot of groups who were completely unknown to me. I found many of them of limited interest but the version of "Ohne Dich" by Laibach is very good.

Altogether, Made in Germany offers 33 tracks, 16 remastered originals and 17 remixes. That is way too much Rammstein for me in one sitting. After about ten songs, I'm exhausted and ready for a break. But I always come back, later, for more.

Real fans of industrial metal and/or Neue Deutch Harte will enjoy this marathon of music. Just make sure you're ready for it before you actually translate the lyrics.

    Bit the easy way out this album. Far too soon for a "Best of". I fear the inspiration has gone. Most remixes don't do the songs credit.

    I agree, Mastermind, about the remixes, As I said in the interview, I only found one really interesting. But I don't agree that it's too early for a "best of." It has, after all, been 16 years!

    I think LIFAD is their masterpiece. I can't think a single song i dont't like and that's a lot in my mind.
