Where Germany's Rammstein explored a sinister, electronic-oriented sound in their previous work, MUTTER finds the doyens of doom turning more "organic," if no less ominous. In place of techno beats and synthesizers, this album offers crunching electric guitars and pounding drums, offset by operatic backing vocals and orchestral washes. The whole affair is awash with an almost Wagnerian sense of grandeur and an undeniable darkness.
The unsettling aspects of MUTTER are underscored by Rammstein's vocals, which highlight the most guttural aspects of the German language, and the gloomy industrial-rock feel that pervades the album. It's clearly the band's intention to disturb, an agenda achieved with flying colors on this album, which looms large with barely suppressed rage and other ugly emotions rising to the sonic surface.

Spin (5/01, pp.144-5) - 6 out of 10 - "...'SPROCKETS'-meets-James Hettfield on fire....bizarre proof that one hit weirdness out-bizarred underground high-concept time and time again..."
Entertainment Weekly (4/6/01, p.120) - "...Sternly self-parodic, headbanging horror rock at its finest..." - Rating: B+
Alternative Press (6/01, p.81) - 4 out of 5 - "...Chock-full of red-faced thrills....one of the few metal albums just as suited for knocking boots in the bedroom as it is for knocking heads in the pit."
CMJ (4/9/01, p.5) - "...The band largely pull from the same bag of tricks that it used on 1998s SEHNSUCHT: Metallica-esque riffs, Gothic string pads, growling...The difference is that this time they've stepped-up their songwriting and production..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "Imbuing their sound with a cinematic scope previously absent from their works, MUTTER is a stirring record."

Mutter

Recorded live at Wuhleide Venue, Berlin, Germany on August 22 & 23, 1998.
On 1998's LIVE AUS BERLIN, Germany's Rammstein works an extremely vocal hometown crowd into quite a frenzy. The band specializes in brutal, chant-along bombast that's designed to leave people sweaty from fist pumping and hoarse from shouting. ...

Mutter
$10.45
Rammstein's first album was about what was to be expected from a bunch of Germans who happily grew up on everything from Skinny Puppy to Depeche Mode to Laibach and back again, not to mention plenty of skull-crushing metal straight up. Precisely brutal and often brilliantly arranged -- the band aren't per se inventive, but they bring everything together to make something astonishingly radio-friendly out of something ...

Mutter
$11.99 
One of the more unlikely success stories in music-business history, German heavy-metal collective Rammstein creates a totally uncompromising and wildly (some would say ridiculously) dramatic sound that combined elements of goth, industrial, Wagnerian opera, and progressive rock, with lyrics sung almost exclusively in German. Rammstein's concerts were even more over-the-top than the ensemble's recorded output, matching the performance art-inspired wackiness of Devo with the ...
| | Rammstein Rosenrot CD (2005)
Mutter
$11.99
"Rosenrot" translates as "Red-Rose". The fifth album from the Berlin sextet of Till Lindemann (vocals), Paul Landers (guitar), Christoph Schneider (drums), Richard Z. Kruspe (guitar), Flake Lorenz (keyboards) and Oliver Riedel (bass) make the impossible possible. They bring together what does not belong together: the Brothers Grimm and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Yes, it sounds absurd, but it's merely a stylistic device. The title fitting ...

| | Satchel Of Song: Clancy Hayes Private Collection 1939-1972. CD (2002)
Mutter
$13.85
Clancy Hayes was best known for playing banjo and singing in various Dixieland Revival bands like Bob Scobey's Frisco Jazz Band and Firehouse Five Plus Two, though he did record a few solo albums as well. Hayes, who died from cancer in 1972, was a bit of an archivist, recording himself on an early reel-to-reel tape recorder unaccompanied, with various musicians in clubs or during broadcasts, though these tapes lay forgotten for decades after his passing. Fortunately, they were examined and restored as much as possible, with some limitations given that some of the source material was paper- backed magnetic tape. But Hayes fans will enjoy hearing his unaccompanied originals like "George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S., Robert E. Lee," singing and playing guitar, while he also plays ragtime piano, banjo, drums, and washboard elsewhere in this compilation. Hayes' vocals are always warm and friendly, ...
| | Megadeth Cryptic Writings CD (1997) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Mutter
$9.99
While Metallica was busy climbing to the top of the thrash-metal heap, Dave Mustaine and Megadeth were quietly carving out a niche for themselves, distinguished by intelligent songwriting and a progressive approach that avoids erratic genre-jumping. Mustaine's breadth of song subjects continues to expand on CRYPTIC WRITINGS, with topics ranging from stalkers ("I'll Get Even") and drug addiction ("Use The Man") to Armageddon wrapped in a cloak of punk anarchy ("The Disintegrators")
Some of CRYPTIC WRITINGS' cooler touches include the electric sitar on "A Secret Place" and the acoustic guitar, mellotron and synths on the multi-part opening track "Trust". Throughout the album, guitarist Marty Friedman displays the exponential growth his playing has undergone since his days with Cacophany. His impressive sense of rhythm comes to the fore on "Almost Honest" and "Have Cool, Will Travel."
The remixed and remastered Megadeth albums released in 2004 aren't your typical cash-ins. They're stark improvements over the originals: group leader Dave Mustaine did the remixing and remastering himself, making especially significant revisions to the earlier albums, and he includes insightful liner notes for each reissue, including track-by-track commentary for the bonus tracks, as well as lyrics and period photos. Like the other post-Rust in Peace albums, Cryptic Writings didn't get much of a makeover for its reissue. Recorded in 1997, long after Megadeth had broken into the metal mainstream, the album sounded mighty fine to begin with. The only substantial bonuses here are Mustaine's reflective liner notes and a quartet of bonus tracks: a Spanish-language version of "Trust," an alternate version of "Vortex," and a pair of unreleased tracks. These bonuses aren't substantial enough to warrant a second purchase of this album -- if you already own it, that is. If you don't already own this one, you're not missing too much. Granted, Cryptic Warnings is a fine album. The songs ...
