 A Solid Effort, 2006-02-24
I'm a casual Rammstein fan; I only have Sehnsucht and Mutter. Of the two I prefer Sehnsucht because it had a wide variety and flowed together rather well. Mutter is definitely the heavier of the two albums; however it doesn't keep my interest for as long as Sehnsucht does. Both have their highlights and flaws. Both are 4 star albums. With Mutter the first five songs are awesome. After that it becomes a hit or miss situation. This is a solid album, but definitely not perfect (neither was Sehnsucht). I'm not quite sure what to say. A lot of Rammstein songs center around one dimensional topics, sex, bizarre things, etc. For example the song Zwitter is about hermaphrodites. I've heard much stranger so this doesn't faze or shock me. Their music seems to be more centered around their music and the delivery of the voice. The vocalist Till has an amazing voice. Like I said, I'm a casual fan so I find this album to be good but definitely not one of my favorites. If you are a big Rammstein fan now, and do not have this album then definitely pick this up. Several of my friends are in love with this album, I can see why but it doesn't necessarily click 100% with me. Hoped this helped.

 Talk about an opening!, 2006-02-06
To tell you the truth I really don't know hich I prefer Reise Reise or this album but this cd has one song that makes it stick out more than any other Rammstein cd:"Mein Hertz Brent". Not since Last Rights by Skinny Puppy opened up with "Love in Vein" have I heard such a great intro to a cd. The rest of the album is also quite good and easily one of Rammsteins best if not the best.

Rammstein's Third Time A Real Charm..., 2006-01-20
Rammstein have, over many years of relentless touring and stellar album after stellar album, proven themselves a gigantic force in the metal music scene. The big success of their breakthrough album SEHNSUCHT proved to many that they were not going anywhere anytime soon (last year's ROSENROT certainly continued to prove the importance of their existence), and it was time for Rammstein to make their third collection of catchy and monstrous metal operas. Indeed, MUTTER's first track, "Mein Herz Brent" ("My Heart Burns") is like a gigantic opera: full-throttle thick metal guitars, a grand backing of strings, Till Lindemann's theatric vocal grandeur, and the hard-hitting rhythm section of drummer Christoph Schneider and bassist Oliver Riedel. Guitarists Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe continue to remain two of metal's best axemen, and Lindemann has already proven to be a secret weapon of Rammstein with his vocal theatrics. Everything comes together to make MUTTER ("MOTHER") another grand album from Germany's finest.
"Links 234" ("Left 234") is another catchy slice of German metal that cuts through even the thickest layers, further enhancing this collection. The marching feet and stomp of the drums give it a militaristic beat. "Sonne" ("Sun") blends melody and grace with thundering guitars and beats. The gentle and almost ballad-esque metal of the title track breaks briefly into more of the soft side that Rammstein can break out without incident. Even the closing track, "Nebel" ("Mist"), incorporates piano into its volatile mixture, complete with Bobo's enchanting background vocals (she was brilliant on the well-crafted hit "Engel"). But Rammstein get down to harder dynamics on the crunchy stomp of "Adios" ("Goodbye") and the wild "Freuer Frei!" ("Fire at will!"). They even add a child's voice to the enchanting metal of "Spieluhr" ("Music Box"). Rammstein have really continued to craft excellent albums, and MUTTER proves to be no disappointment.
Rammstein have longevity in their bright future thanks to solid efforts like MUTTER and SEHNSUCHT, and REISE, REISE and ROSENROT proved to be stellar collections. MUTTER is only further proof that while not from the U.S. metal scene, Rammstein continues to remain an important piece of the metal music puzzle. Ich will more Rammstein!!
Great CD and Best Band EVER., 2005-12-10
I LOVE RAMMSTEIN and I love this CD. My favorite songs are Links 2,3,4, Ich Will, Zwitter and Adios. If you like Rammstein or Hard rock check this out.
A very good, but lookalike!, 2005-11-15
This album is very strong and good. The first six songs are very good, but it's all lookalike, the same with the other five songs, the worst song is Reinraus, and the best are Ich Will, Feuer Frei and Sonne. The others are all good, but when listening to the whole cd, it starts boring after Mutter.
Keep on rocking!!
