Rammstein is back! New album, new tour.
The 2004 album is called "Reise Reise," which means "Travel, Travel." The title might be a reference to the hit single "Voyage, Voyage" by Desireless, back in the 80ies. The album consists of, you might have guessed, eleven songs. The sleeve design can be looked at here:

The words in grey letters say, "Flight recorder; Do Not Open."
So far (August 30, 2004), one single has be pre-released, called "Mein Teil" ("My Part"). It is Rammstein at its best, as the band sing about a case that had been in the news some time earlier this year where a man offered himself as food for a self-proclaimed cannibal and was subsequently eaten by him. The tag line of that song is "Du bist, was Du isst" - "You are what you eat." Need I say more?
The second single will be "Amerika," which is a semi-serious examination of the way American culture has become an influential force all over the world. I have only heard the song once so far, and the lyrics I remember are something like "Amerika, wonderful, Coca Cola, Wonderbra, Sometimes War."
More as this story develops.

It's good to see that Rammstein is still kicking.

Typical of modern music industry that they've managed to keep Rammstein out of the charts by not selling the single anywhere.
