Heartland

I have to say it grew on me.

Being a huge fan of the 'Herzeleid'-CD, I kinda lost them right after that first one.

But since my missus puts on 'Mutter' and 'Reise Reise' occasionally, I decided to buy 'Rosenrot'. Also because I think 'Benzin' is a very nice song in the 'Herzeleid'-vein.

I have to admit that after the first song 'Benzin' I found all went a bit calm up till 'Te quiero puta', but after a couple of weeks I have to say I was wrong.

'Mann Gegen Mann' is also a real stomper, a bit 'Feuer Frei' kinda thing. 'Rosenrot' is a nice song with nice lyrics, and 'Spring' must be the deepest lyrics they have ever written, togerther with 'Feuer & Wasser'.

The only minor point is the Texas-chick whining away. Never liked her voice, and don't know what she is doing on this CD. Ah, well.

I also have to admit that System Of A Down's 'Hypnotize' is a lot better than the new Rammstein, tho

Still have to hear the first BAD CD from the guys

Brings back good memories about Primus, FNM/Mr. Bungle, Suicidal/Infectious Grooves, Butthole Surfers and old Anthrax

Suicidal Tendencies - Instituitionalised.

What a mind-bogglingly awesome track. Takes me back to my youth does that. Who was it had the 'Speak English Or Die' t-shirt - them or Stormtroopers Of Death - can't remember. Funny as fcuk, whoever.

Meanwhile, that 'Texas' number is sublime, Mr Iz.

S.O.D. album and t-shirt
Suicidal Tendencies were indeed awesome, Dude!
Saw them on the Clash of Titans tour with Testament, Megadeth and Slayer. Quite an intense night out

Well I wasn't there, so who took you to A&E after that one. Or were the paramedics on standby in the venue?

Them were the days.

I was at that, Ingelston '89.

That's the Chappie!
I arrived late (and well tanked up) stumbled up to the doors to pay, next thing I knew I'd walked all the way into the auditorium, unchallenged!

I finally succumbed to alcohol exhaustion during Slayer, that and trying to emulate their head movements. Some nice chaps round me huckled me to my feet and stood me up till I came round. I then blagged a free ride back to Glasgow on one of the buses outside. Most of the day is a fog, but what a day

Currently my fave listen. It's the dogs bollox when listening in our robe.

And who might you be sharing the robe with John?

Not listened to it for a few weeks, thanks for the prompt.

'Mann Gehhhhgen Mann'.

Deffo. But Hilf Mir is now starting to register. In a nice way.

You've not listened to "Steal This Album!" then?

I loved Toxicity, but after that it was a real let down. Still haven't got around to buying Mesmerize or Hypnotize, still blowing my bank balance on dodgy 80s back catalogs

And Mann Gegen Mann is hilarious if only for the embarassment of those who don't know what they're singing along to

I have to admit that 'steal this album' is the least attractive of all. Kinda weird, because 'Toxicity' is class, and so are 'Mez/Hyp' You still have to buy them, really

Especially when the last sentence is written 'Mann Gaygen Mann' in the CD booklet

*bump*

For no other reason than it's been banging out on the stereo since 6am this morning. It is rather fab and groovy. Still.

I presume you've got no neighbours? Either way, well bumped Sir.

For my part, it's been Virgin Voices II (tribute to Madonna), courtesy of Mr Hunter. Genius, in parts, mainly the bits with Ofra Haza or Memphisto Waltz. Maybe this belongs on another thread.

Nice bump, since these days the 'Mann Gegen Mann' single is the new chart single here in Belgium. And my missus is swooning every time she sees Till in that videoclip Granted, she does that with EVERY Rammstein videoclip, but especially this one

* bump * again.

It's getting 'classic album' in my status. It really does grow on you.

I think so,too.

I like particularly the lyrics of the following songs

and

Spring is my track of the week. Fcuking awesome, and very nice to scream from the bottom of the garden whilst burning stuff. Deliciously appropriate somehow.

I hope you were well 'oiled' up for that Dave, Free Fire and all that

Less 'free' as much as 'confined within a metal bin'

But yeah, the thought is still pretty perilous. Fear not, Ethan keeps an eye on it all for me.
