Bad Reputation, grandiose music

I have after long reservations and influenced by predominantly morally motivated judgments of critics discovered Rammstein only now. Funnily enough, when I heard the cover version of "sun" on the CD and Heino- surprise me rubbing his eyes, who can write such an exceptionally good text. So I came to Rammstein, of which I could only remember "America" ​​and at provocation titles like "Buck Dich".

It was written here and elsewhere already know much about this band, I need not repeat and stand by my initial spark "sun" because the song does without provocation and yet all the great features of Rammstein / Lindemann has style: nothing is here Platt said. Although thought of the contents as power anthem of a boxer, but certainly the most unusual Boxer Song: So one has never heard: The sun as an archaic symbol of strength, confidence and certainty of victory. Simple, yet unheard turns, dazzling, elementary, powerful and yet never flat: Even the simple phrase "The sun is shining out of my sight," is as surprising as expressive. "If it breaks out of the fists, ice sets on your face" - Such linguistic quality can be found in the pop music deutschne hardly ever. The same could be said about "angels" ("they have to cling to stars, so they do not fall from the sky" - who has the angelic motif tapped so wrested outrageous lines in the last 50 years?)

The reason why many do not want to estimate in Germany or can, is so obvious how debilitating: You feel because of the history of 1930-45 dt obliged to reject the vigorous gesture band of political correctness.. This is usually more of fear than driven by good reasons, and it so typically German as just also Rammstein are typically German ...

In hardly any other country, the prophets, apply as little as in Germany, just think of the other few internationally influential bands: power plant (which name!) And Can. Since it also took a long time until they could bring themselves to general approval.

My preliminary conclusion: Relentless, grandiose music with charisma. Can you like it or not, I mags.
