\"Rammstein<\/a>How can a guy who loves Jazz Caf\u00e9, Loreena McKennitt,\u00a0<\/em>and New Age Music<\/em> also be into a\u00a0German metal band like Rammstein<\/em>? I guess you take the boy out of The Metal Years<\/em> but you can’t take\u00a0The Metal Years<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>out of the boy.\u00a0 Although\u00a0it had been years since I was wild about Metal music, I couldn’t help but like Rammstein’s <\/em>sound.\u00a0 It was that same industrialized\u00a0German metal that I liked with Accept<\/em> only this time it was more polished. I guess\u00a0this time the machinery \u00a0was less steam driven and more hydraulic.\u00a0 It had that chunka chunka aspect but they were able to weave in an electronic aspect that was missing before. The addition of keyboards gave them a wider ability\u00a0whiel their execution kept it very heavy sounding.<\/p>\n

Du Hast\u00a0had made its way to the radio. It is a cool song but there are so many better ones on this album. I owe this purchase to Chicken pox. Yeah it is true. My son had chicken pox and he was miserable. I was home with him. He was probably 7 or 8 at the time. We somehow got it in our head that Rammsteini\u00a0<\/em> might make him feel better. So we went to the\u00a0store and he waited in the car while I ran in and picked up Sehnsucht.<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t\u00a0remember if Rammstein<\/em> eased the suffering of chicken pox at all but we still continue to enjoy the music all these years later. I’ll have to ask my son if he has listened to Sehnsucht<\/em> lately.<\/p>\n
