Rammstein

[ManBurning]

I Doubt it'll be flagged and removed. It's not the worst thing up on YouTube, that's for sure. I didn't even find the video that disturbing to be honest.
Song is more fucked up than the video was.

[implanted_microchip]

Oh good god I'm so happy this project exists.

That's the most fun I've had watching a music video since, well, probably the last Rammstein video. It couldn't be weirder and yet it's so perfectly Till, I don't even know. That whole final section makes me irrationally happy, it's just so bombastically gleeful about it. And goddamn that lounge jazz version at the end, I could take a whole album of that.

Till's dancing and just pure theatricality never gets old. People have definitely been wrong to think he'd not be into the music game anymore, this looks like he's having a blast.

That's true but if i recall they couldn't even host Ich tu dir Weh on Youtube for whatever reason, all the ones on there have warped audio.

[LaneSax]

man I really enjoyed that....

lyrics were corny as fuck but I liked every minute of that!

[BenAkenobi]

why wasn't THIS on Eurovision?

[ziltoid]

That video was entertaining.
It somewhat reminded my of Type O Negative's more absurd lyrics.
I'm looking forward to hearing the album.

[The_Prowler]

God, I hope I can find Skills in Pills somewhere around here...



But I'm still jonesing pretty hard for new Rammstein material.

that's because of the song censorship, isn't it? the same reason they had to reissue LIFAD in Germany with the song removed.

Yep. The single and the uncensored version of the album were "de-indexed" in May 2010, though.

I think Wolfenstein 3D might still be on there...

[Space Suicide]

I loved that song. it's so stupid lyrically and I love his oversized hat. The video was really, really bizarre and I enjoyed the viewing. Don't really understand the point of the pig snout nose type deal but whatever.

[wizfan]

Praise Abort! Instantly catchy and fun. I haven't felt this way about any new song in the last few months. If only Manson could bite so hard. I mean, I liked The Pale Emperor, but it's barely "above average". Lindemann is just great.

[staleincense]

Holy shit so I watched the Keine Lust video yesterday and now I see this video and it's just so stupid in the best possible way and I think I may be finally getting into Rammstein again after not having listened to them for ages all of a sudden

Which is fitting because this is also my first ETS post in ages wooooo

[Ryan]

That was amazing! haha

[Ryan]

This needs to leak badly now.

[Ryan]

Oh god, just bought the Praise Abort remix EP from iTunes and listening to the remixes of "Fat"... hilarious lyrics hahahaha

People laughing
About your size
we can fuck them
On your French fries

when i rip open your
King size bra
your giant boobs are
Just wunderbar

[Ryan]

It ends so romantically too.

"but your holes are so hard
so hard to find
it doesn't matter
ill fuck you from behind"

[Ryan]

Anyone got the full lyrics to Fat? This is what I hear,

>>

your dirty sweat
my sweetest potion
your armpits one pit
little oceans
your flabby bottom
a soggy cave
i put in my parts
and let them bathe
so call me freaky
call me sick
i like it sticky
i like it big
fat


i hate it skinny
i hate it flat
i don't need mini
i like it fat


people laughing
about your size
we can fuck them
on your french fries
when i break open
your king size bra
your giant boobs are
just wunderbar


call me freaky
call me sick
i like it sticky
i like it big
i hate it skinny
i hate it flat
i don't need mini
i like it fat


every night
i have this dream
i'm sliding down
a sloppy stream
straight in your mouth
the ? is strong
i eat your lips
your furry tongue


you call me freaky
you call me sick
i like yours sticky
i like yours big
i hate your skinny
i hate your flat
dont need your mini
i like your fat


so call it crazy
or call it fate
just ... ?


but your holes are
so hard to find
it doesn't matter
i'll fuck you
fuck you from behind

[Ryan]

Oh wait, here they are transcribed online lol


Your dirty sweat. My sweetest potion.
Your armpits swampy little oceans.
Your flabby butthole. A soggy cave.
I put in my parts and let them bathe.
So call me freaky. Call me sick.
I like it sticky. I like it big.
Fat!
I hate it skinny. I hate it flat.
I don't need mini. I like it...
Fat!
People laughing about your size.
We can fuck them on your french fries.
When I break open your king size bra
Your giant boobs are just wunderbar.
Call me freaky. Call me sick.
I like it sticky. I like it big.
I hate it skinny. I hate it flat.
Fat!
I don't need mini. I like it...
Fat!
Every night I have this dream.
I'm sliding down a slippery stream.
Straight in your mouth the smack is strong.
I eat your lips. Your furry tongue.
You call me freaky. You call me sick.
Fat!
I like you sticky. I like you big.
Fat!
I hate you skinny. I hate you flat.
Fat!
Don't need you mini. I like you fat.
Fat!
So call it crazy or call it fate.
Just with you I want... want to get laid.
But all your holes are hard... so hard to find.
It doesn't matter, I fuck you.
Fuck you from behind.

Samples of Fish On, Home Sweet Home and Cowboy now on www.skillsinpills.com

[Ryan]

Full version of title track now available on iTunes if you preorder.

[Space Suicide]

The lyrics for Fat are so ridiculous and cliche but I LOVE the song. The music is phenomenal. Even with the joke lyrics, the way they're sung...they sound cool haha. I can't wait for this album. I need it in a bad way.

I just downloaded the Remix EP. That Clemens Wijers Remix is awesome.

Edit: As for Fat, I meant the original, album mix as well:

[Ryan]

Listening to the title track now and it's fantastic!

[implanted_microchip]

So now that we've got snippets of all the songs I think I can safely say this is lyrically all over the place and does a great job at showing off to Rammstein fans who either don't know German or don't look at translations the fairly wide palette Till's drawn from over the years, with childish filthy glee and dark, slithering poetry. Hopefully the second album they've announced delves deeper into that, but this is like a great sampler for people who aren't familiar with his lyrics. To go from a song like Ladyboy to Home Sweet Home is the kind of thing I'd only expect from Till. The music seems fuckin' lovely. I'm dying to hear the full track for Home Sweet Home, reminds me of Silent Hill's music for some reason.

Skills In Pills is a killer song. Praise Abort is a blast. I'm beyond excited for this, totally has caught me off guard. I feel bad for how much more I love this over Emigrate. Part of it really is Till's voice though; his vocals have always been some of my favorite from any singer out there and really brings a layer to Rammstein that is totally vital. There's this rich, deep and warm sadness to his singing that's always there and it's just so operatic.

[Conan The Barbarian]

Part of me wishes that they would release the songs in German as well. The way the lyrics are written in English sound better translated in his native tongue. Just an opinion.

I have yet to hear any snippet minus the praise abort video. Soon!!!

[ManBurning]

Based on what I heard (full versions of Fat and Praise Abort and a couple clips), unless the rest of the songs have a more serious tone, I've lost interested in the project. It's way too childish and silly sounding, even for Till. I would not want to be caught listening to those songs in public, they lyrical content in some of these songs is on par with watching a porno on your iphone while you take the bus to work... It's tasteless as fuck! I know Till can do so, so much better. The guy is a musical genius, but this is far from his best work.

This makes me want to listen to Emigrate, and I can't stand Emigrate... I think this goes to show that the guys shine the best when they are working together in Rammstein. United they stand, divided they fall.

I humbly disagree.

[ManBurning]

I humbly disagree.

I expected you to. You're loving this stuff. But personally, I don't hear the appeal... These lyrics just aren't my thing. I guess I don't like to listen to dirty comedy lyrics.
I know he's trying to be humorous, but it's a little too over the top and distasteful for me. But that's just my opinion. If people like it, power to them. This used to be my most anticipated album release for 2015, til I heard Praise Abort and Fat. I can't listen to those songs again, it's like nails on a chalk board for me. I only hope there are at least a couple "serious" songs on this album.

[thelastdisciple]

It's definitely music i wouldn't listen to outside of headphones lol but i don't think what I've heard so far is necessarily bad.

Not for everyone though which is understandable.

Personally i am liking this far more than Emigrate's cookie cutter tunes.

[Ryan]

I must be easily please because I love all the Emigrate stuff too.

Skills In Pills, Home Sweet Home, Yukon all seem far more serious. Rammstein's the band that has songs about the Berlin wall and fucking a dog and incest and rape and all sorts of subjects, a ton of which are "tasteless." Maybe you just haven't noticed because it's in German, but it's what you've been listening to, especially if you listen to the first few albums. Herzeleid and Sehnsucht are full of "filthy" lyrics. Even Mutter has Rein, Raus and Zwitter. It's always been a very broad scope of subject matter and seriousness and this is just taking that, applying it to English and going from there.

Besides I don't exactly like the idea that lyrics are the end all be all of music. You've not said anything about the musical content itself at all, and most of it is very similar to what I'd identify as Rammstein. I don't know what it is that you were expecting at all, it seems really odd to me considering you seem to be really into R+. If lyrics matter so much I'd assume you'd have looked into R+'s and you'd not be surprised by this at all.

I mean song titles alone here even were quite an indicator. What'd you expect Ladyboy to be about?
