Excellelent ont peut enfin ecouter Mein Teil le single qui été repourté une copole de fois. La chanson est "terrific" on a des remixes et on peut aller sur un site secret pour écouter le video que jaime beaucoup latmosphère et le trick de Olli avec le refrain est excellent. Rammstein est le seul groupe que le violon ne sert po a rien.
I've never had so much fun listening to a macabre dinner!
"Mein Teil" (or "My Part/My Thing") is a GREAT song that is actally the hardest on Rammstein's new album (number one in most of europe) "Reise, Reise" (or "Voyage, Voyage" or even "Arise, Arise"). This CD actually has really good mixes on it. A lot of times you pick up a single and after the origanal song the rest is techno garbage- but not here! The origanal Mein Teil is great alone, but the moment you move on the "You Are What You Eat!" remix the fun begins again. Faster than the origanal (and with really good mixed in back up voices speaking gibberish like "You are what you eat!") this song is a party by itself. The "Return to New York Buffet" mix is really good once you get past the lengthy beginning (all DJ's believe it is healthy to play at LEAST 2 mins of looped music before the song begins). This one is really more of a rave song, so that's why only 4 stars. It's really repetative- but really good despite that. The people who mixed it did a really good job. Last the "There Are No Guitars On This Mix" version is also really good. I like this mix alot because it was handled very well (being without guitars and all) Especially during the chorus parts! =D Try it! If you love hard music you've GOT to love it!
whoa...
The story behind this is gross enough, but now the song comes out and tells the story itself..I love it.. Rammstein recreates a scene in Germany where a cannibal posts an ad in public wanting someone to eat, someone answers the ad and gets eaten alive. If your a heavy Rammstein fan, this song reminds me alot of "Herzeleid" and "Rein Raus" combined, it is very heavy, filled with a driven sound throughout the whole song, and like the old school Rammstein style, it does not let up.
Seeing as how it is new, a lot controversy has been raised about the song, but doing some searching, I have found and downloaded 4 different versions. Seeing as how they are still new and I have not found the proper names for them, I am describing them by how the songs are different from each other.
Mein Teil (original): the power driven ballad, straight up in your face Rammstein, pounding guitars, and a scary voice to fit.
Mein Teil (Electronics version): this version is completely different from the original, using electronics to add an upbeat emotion to the song, the words are different, this might be the Reise Reise version, so I am not clear. But this song has a killer guitar riff, and pounding drums, great song, you need to listen to it a few times, though.
Mein Teil (5 minute version): this version is very much like the original, just 30 seconds longer, and some words are taken out, and some words are added. Same guitars and drums, voice sounds the same, but its still a great song to listen to.
Mein Teil (Instrumental): no words, just a calm kickback between each version of the song, it sounds like a computer generated guitar in the background, but I dont know, a great relaxing yet suspicious song.
All in all, these four versions are in some ways different, but in most ways the same. Rammstein really picked a hell of a subject to write a song about, and I look forward to purchasing the cd and getting everything straight. If your a first timer Rammstein fan, I strongly recommend any version of this song except the instrumental, not to be rude in anyway, but that version was kind of a let down. To end this on a good note, I look forward to the new material from these guys, and I hope they keep rockin the German way, straight up in your face rock.
