Amazon.co.uk Review They should, of course, be laughable: a bunch of stocky Germans with a penchant for pyromania and a wardrobe straight out of a downtown S&M bar. Yet somehow, Rammstein's very Teutonic brand of doom-mongering has struck a chord with listeners, perhaps grateful that Germany's latest sensations are not merely another Scorpions. Instead, the music is an unmistakeably martial--some would say fascistic--form of industrial-metal, all punishing rhythms and grand, Wagnerian choruses; while the band's decision to fuse their assault with the arpeggiated textures of trance and techno--while hardly unique (think KMFDM or Nine Inch Nails)--has undoubtedly lent their sound a more robust, contemporary edge. With their muscular riffs and talent for self-immolation, Rammstein's concerts have become notorious (imagine a Leni Reifenstahl movie scored by Ministry); consequently, this live album can serve only as an approximation of the total experience. Still, it reinforces the notion--first propounded by Faust and Neu! and, later, by Einstreuzende Neubauten--that German makes a kick-arsch language for rock music. --Andrew McGuire
