 <\/p>\n

Skills in Pills<\/strong>
\nAlready the intro hints hit-qualities \u2013 the drug-and-death wish topic supports the catchy chorus and the increasing rhythms, accompanying the Rammstein-reminiscent riffs into a psychotic Dubstep finale.<\/p>\n

Ladyboy<\/strong>
\nThe very first Lindemann song, vaguely reminiscent of Pain\u2019s \u201cShut Your Mouth\u201c. The topic is unambiguous, and the distinctive \u201cR\u201ds are rolling. Vocally, it\u2019s brilliant in the elongated passages, accompanied by the occasionally resounding, manically happy, \u201cJaaa\u201d. At the end, a mad laughter echoes\u2026<\/p>\n

Fat<\/strong>
\nA church organ intro followed by a typical Rammstein riff with synthesizers supported by a violin. A majestic crusher follows, appropriate to the subject, with an opulent chorus. The German word, \u201cWunderbar\u201d, is prominent, positively influencing the direction of the song.<\/p>\n

Fish On<\/strong>
\nHigh speed riffs hit towing metaphors and play on words such as, \u201eMoby\u2019s dick\u201d. A driving, anthemic headbanger in the style of \u201cLaichzeit\u201d, only broken up by the yelled chorus, \u201cFish on!\u201d.<\/p>\n

Children of the Sun<\/strong>
\nThe second Lindemann song, with a powerful opening riff and a lamenting, light vocal. Not an exceptionally explicit sex lyric, and rather pale, musically, too.<\/p>\n

Home Sweet Home<\/strong>
\nA slow, ominous sounding ballad with orchestral arrangements and violins, the topic revolves around near-death experiences. Lindemann\u2019s vocals are in focus and flow into a majestic chorus.<\/p>\n

Cowboy<\/strong>
\nHorses meet Pain and the rhythmical emulation of the equestrian theme, referring to the cowboy who has all his ponies in the corral. A very catchy piece, that immediately invites to engage, but the refrain is also about the fear of failure.<\/p>\n

Golden Shower<\/strong>
\nAt first, the focus is on the drums, then on the riffs. An engaging, industrial-based track with an explicit, vivid topic, revolving around the line, \u201cCunt \u2013 let it shower!\u201d, even more clearly illustrated by the closing release of liquids\u2026<\/p>\n

Yukon<\/strong>
\nPiano intro, then spoken vocals turn into singing, followed by an explosive chorus about the deadly dangers of seduction. A massive pop arrangement with an instrumental crescendo culminating into an appropriate headbanging style, almost choral in-between.<\/p>\n

Praise Abort(ion)<\/strong>
\nA hate declaration for life, family and children \u2013 the final breaking of taboos. Powerfully arranged with a furious chorus, contrasting \u201cLalalaa\u201d-vocals and imposed children\u2019s\u2019 singing.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong>
\nOne hell of an album \u2013 musically as well as thematically. Lindemann hits with a lot of catchiness, brilliant (if not very surprising) music and the sumptuous play with the illicit. The fronts remain tough \u2013 Rammstein fans are going to rejoice, the champions of morality will have a lot to curse.<\/p>\n
