(Universal)
KKK
Formats:
Three-track CD1 ('Ich Will'/ 'Halleluja'/ 'Stripped (Charlie Clauser Heavy mental mix)')
Four-track CD2 ('Ich Will'/ 'Links 2 3 4 (Remix)'/ 'Du Hast (Remix)'/ 'Ich Will (Video)')
Four-track DVD ('Ich Will (Live Video)'/ 'Video Clip Montage'/ 'Feuerrader' / 'Rammstein (live)')
OFFICIALLY the daftest band in Europe, anyone who takes Rammstein's post Nietzschean B-movie thing totally seriously probably munches steroids and drinks from his own engraved beer tankard. But in terms of muscular, smoke-swirling, industrial-goth music, Rammstein have got things sewn up with 'Ich Will'. Beneath the throbbing beats lies a band with grand ideas and the intelligence to execute them, even if, as on this song, it sounds like the sound track to 'Boris (Karloff) Does Nuremburg'. A feminine touch would do them the world of good.

Bollocks they're the daftest band in Europe, you heard The 'S Club Juniors' lately? Rated 'KKK' this simply means 3 out of 5.
