By now, anyone coming to Rammstein knows what to expect: lockstep beats, buzzsaw guitars, and growling German vocals, all played with stadium-sized swagger and polished with gothy sheen. Loosely based on the tragedy of Japan Airlines Flight 123, their fourth studio album offers a few curveballs, including the subdued roadhouse blues of “Los” and the wry, incisive “Amerika,” one of the only songs in their catalog to incorporate English.

It would seem that Rammstein are forever cursed to suffer for the original sin of not having been born in an English-speaking country.
