Cool video, I like it. As a long time Rammstein fan who has seen them live a few times, I agree with much of what you said. One of my prized possessions is a cd copy of Herzeleid signed by every band member on their picture. Except for Till, who signed the cover. I got to meet and shake hands with all of them after one of their shows. It was really cool.
German native here🙋♂️. I would say, around 85% of the lyrics are somewhat satirical. All of them have a second layer of meaning. As a German you can get offended by those harsh raw brutal offending lyrics very easily. But under that, there is a lyrical or satirical meaning. If you get that, you'll get the whole experience. The loneliness and desperation in "Mutter" or "Klavier" for example, despite their really fucked up premise and lyrics. I love "Zerstören", because the main lyrics are so direct and aggressive, you have no sympathy for "him". But the outro is so lyrical and tragic, you can't not feel empathy for him at the end. Amour as well. You feel the frustration building up in the song, that love will always fucks you up in the end. And every time(or every Chorus), you get more frustrated and sad/angry when your heart is broken. The list could go on for like 85% of the songs. Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Just to say the wall had fallen by the time Rammstein formed, one of the bands several of them were in was playing in West Berlin the night it fell and couldn't get back home as the wall was so crowded that night. 9:04 lmao. Thank god you say Flake correctly as well. For me I don't think there's many weakspots for me in their discography but theres a few songs on Reise Reise and Rosenrot where its a slog. I love their immense stadium riffs but it just hits a point of terminal mass on those albums where I zone out but I love Stirb Nicht Vor Mir which some people hate, the vocalist was Sharleen Spiteri from the band Texas who you should give a spin to see what she usually does vocally. I'd put most of the albums in A or S and those middle albums would be B or C for me. Really shocked you disliked LIFAD, really solid album for me. For Pussy it was body doubles and I think that jokey side of Rammstein has been present since Buck Dich. For comments being turned off on Auslander, they're off on all their videos and have been for years which i like in a way because the art just stands on its own. For Zeit theres also a great piss take song called OK (Ohne Kondom = Without Condom), its a great album. Saw them in Berlin last year and I'm seeing them in Prague and Dublin this year. Really enjoying binging your tier videos man keep it up. Where did you get that pixel thing in the back? Is it a divoom?
definitely agree with your ranking here. Zeit would fit in the A tier imo. I actually do also listen to Kraftwerk a lot as well. I'd even go as far as to say I prefer them over Rammstein. Man Machine, Computerworld and Tour de France are albums I could listen to every day and never get tired of them. Rammstein is still absolutely fantastic though, their quality has been very consistent throughout the years, which is rare.
I also haven't really listened to Zeit yet, very much for the same reason. I actually loathed this band's stuff on TV and radio in the 2000s, but during the next decade they became one of the few "new" bands (formed in the 90s or later) I've ever been a fan of. Herzeleid is a masterpiece, and I very much agree with this ranking order, as well as the decision to stick to their language. I always thought that Kraftwerk's English versions were obsolete, and I hate having to hunt down their German physical media amidst the English ones (more rare and thus often more costly).
So I first heard them when i bought the cky2k vhs from zumiez skate shop. good shit. have an awesome day my dude. Side note, what is the moving pixel art behind you? i want one. (edit) the mein land video with farcry 3 works great. 2edit) dude when you mention the 20 min mark, its ok. we want to hear your opinion out right. doesn't matter the time, the day we want to hear you. thats we keep coming back homie. keep on keepin on. (3rd edit) just watched the pornhub video gotta say... not impressed.
I agree with most of the stuff you're talking about. Have you tried listening to Zeit since then? And where would you put the Raritaten album? Even though it's B side compilation, I would put it in A.
yeah for sure Rammstein's B-sides have always been really good. I honestly haven't listened to Zeit very much, I came to the realization the other day that I might have slightly grown out of this band or at the very least I'm fairly burnt out on their sound.
They shut off comments on all their video's which was smart of them, considering most comment sections of video's are full of people trying to be edgy, funny or just plain gross. There's also those nutcases who go off on tangents that have nothing to do with anything and those morons that feel the need to stand on their god wad soapbox and quote bible verses or proclaim how everyone who watches this are going to HELL! 🤣
I remember being in middle school and the whole "they are nazi" bs was going around the school yard. Fast forward to now and people are like "they made music after du hast?!". I'm like, uhh yeah they sell out stadiums all over the world lol.
Ausländer is obviously dark satire on sex tourism and colonialism... thats so on the nose... basically impossible to miss. On the other hand Americans also don't seem to get that starship troopers is satire so...

thank you for that.. i wish i knew better German so I could completely understand the lyrics
You know who else loves Rammstein? Your good pal James!
Who doesn' t love Rammstein? They rock!

Where did you get that pixel thing in the back? Is it a divoom?
yeah divoom, and thanks for checking out the videos.. I think Te Quiro Puta is my least favorite Rammstein song
@DancingwithGhosts you should check out then doing that song in 2022 in Mexico, the crowd goes nuts for it
@@iain2080 for whatever reason, Rammstein has some rabid fans in Mexico as it is.
definitely agree with your ranking here. Zeit would fit in the A tier imo.

Rammstein is still absolutely fantastic though, their quality has been very consistent throughout the years, which is rare.
kraftwerk is a completely different sound but yes they are pretty fantastic. Those melodies and song structures are classic.
Ghost, you should do a Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson tier list
that monk chanting part was awesome
Bro, new Rex Viper concert is available. Any chance for a review??
probably.. just because i need the ad revenue
@@DancingwithGhostsNice. 😁 Looking forward to it.
Love the video, Beast In Black is a great band. Your take on them?
not familiar with the group but thanks for the compliment!

Dude that music made any of my army buddies bak in my day go INSANE lol… I luv itttt,! All Ma’ white Boyz lmao, they would go hard lol
it does sound like good music to listen to during combat
So I first heard them when i bought the cky2k vhs from zumiez skate shop. good shit. have an awesome day my dude. Side note, what is the moving pixel art behind you? i want one.

What do you think about Till's "Lindemann" band side project? I enjoy it, lots of joke songs too! :D
i am not a fan

I’d love to see your ranking for Marilyn Manson albums.
They shut off comments on all their video's which was smart of them, considering most comment sections of video's are full of people trying to be edgy, funny or just plain gross. There's also those nutcases who go off on tangents that have nothing to do with anything and those morons that feel the need to stand on their god wad soapbox and quote bible verses or proclaim how everyone who watches this are going to HELL! 🤣
oh wow all the videos? that's unfortunate but understandable i guess
Yeah it is but they had too many incidents with idiots spouting off thing's that would get them in shite with TH-cam.@@DancingwithGhosts
Im so glad you said it. I don’t like the jokey stuff either
yeah i mean.. i get not wanting to take yourself seriously all the time but 'te quiro puta' did not need to exist
I remember being in middle school and the whole "they are nazi" bs was going around the school yard. Fast forward to now and people are like "they made music after du hast?!". I'm like, uhh yeah they sell out stadiums all over the world lol.
yeah, Rammstein does not need America's approval or acceptance and i love that about them
Rammstein are a Industrial Rock Band
I see this video is a bit of a bastard child, regarding the views :/
that's too bad, 'cause I really like Rammstein :)
nice vid bro
yeah i think the algorithms have something against Rammstein.. i thought this one would do better
Then you get to Auuslaaander. Damn American
Ausländer is obviously dark satire on sex tourism and colonialism... thats so on the nose... basically impossible to miss. On the other hand Americans also don't seem to get that starship troopers is satire so...
No 'SS' tier huh?.. that's just a plain insult.
got 'em
Bex Diaper is back... you know what must be done...
hah yeah.. working on it.. it hurts
wtf rammstein? dude you have great taste in music brother, patrician tier.
