Description of Sehnsucht:
There's not a big precedent for German bands succeeding in the United States, the '80s bombast-rock of the Scorpions notwithstanding. Rammstein, however, may be the macho men to get the job done, at least in a concert setting. Decidedly Teutonic and militant in sound and lyrics--they sing in German and their commanding semi-industrial metal is compelling--Rammstein garnered rock-radio airplay for the catchy sing-along "Du Hast," which translates here as "You Hate" and bears a striking musical resemblance to the Golden Earring tune "Twilight Zone." While Sehnsucht's 11 songs are solid, it's the live shows where everything gels. There, KISS pyrotechnics and disturbing NIN-like images, for example, complement Rammstein's forceful music. Without the visual stimuli, Sehnsucht (which means "longing") is still a strong effort, but live is where the album's Germanic gems really shine. --Katherine Turman
Sehnsucht Reviews:
German metal masterpiece 
2009-11-23 - First of all, many hard rock fans think Rammstein are too heavy for them. And most of their fans are either metal heads, or open minded real music fans. Many metal heads tough, think they are too light and some even complain because the lyrics are in german and they can't understand a word. I, am i fan of some industrial music such as Skinny puppy and industrial metal mostly so if you like either, then you'll love Rammstein. This album has unique sounds then gets straight to pretty heavy riffs and creates some kick @ss music. Lets just say if you want something that sounded kinda new back in the late 90's, then you should buy Sehnsucht. Till's voice is powerful and you can fee it whether he is shouting or singing softly. Sure, a lot of people accuse Rammstein of not being true metal, but i see nothing fake about them. There's many heavier straight up metal bands, but many try different things out there. So get it! this is their best release ever.
Great!
2009-11-03 - OK, about all I can say is this album is great. Just buy it. Listen to the samples or Youtube Rammstein if you are unfamiliar with them. Dont buy it and complain that the lyrics are in German. The lyrics are in German but they rock. Great album to put in the CD player and drive. Just watch your speed and watch for redlight cameras. Also a great album to listen to while working out.
Rammstein Rocks!
2009-08-14 - What raw intensity! I never heard the term "Industrial" Metal before, however, it
definitely suits this style of rock. Certainly has an edgey presentation....which I absolutely love.
Am not well versed in German rock. I don't understand a word they are saying, which is irrelevent....I feel the music to my core, as the CD is turned up MEGA LOUD!!(The only way to listen to it, truly.)
My first exposure to them was while viewing "The Matrix" in 1999. Du Hast,#5. From that moment, I was hooked! There is not one song in this selection that I don't like, which is unusual. I do have a favorite, however, #9.
This will be my second purchase cos the first CD has a few skips.
Long live Rammstein, and their unique, in-your-face style! Keep it coming!
Awesome.
2009-02-12 - I love this album, all the tracks have been added to my playlist.
The delivery for this item was as prompt as can be.
GREAT Band & CD
2008-10-31 - This is the THIRD CD of Sensucht that I have purcahsed. I wore the first one out by listening to it WAY too much ;) The second CD got lost in the shuffle in a cross-country move. This CD was the first CD I had ever heard of Rammstein's, and I have been a dedicated fan ever since!
