My First Time Listening to Mutter by Rammstein | My Reaction 

As a native speaker I can tell you, the lyrics are incredible. Such good play on words and there are always different layers of meaning here. For example, the last Track NEBEL means fog, but the lyrics are about a loved person passing away and NEBEL backwarts is LEBEN, which means life. Also, the lead singer is an author of various poetry books. Though, the lyrics are often very controversial. Maybe, for the next reaction, you can consider reading the translated lyrics :)

Such a classic of an album. Sonne, Mutter, Mein Hertz Brent - just incredible.

Definetly my favorite album of theirs. Love the mix of heavyness, epicness and the beautifully written lyrics. Fun fact: "Links 2 3 4" is their response to all the accusations like "Rammstein is a Nazi-Band" n stuff. The pre-chorus basically translates to "They want my heart on the right side but when I check I feel it beating on the left", pretty self-explanatory. xD Great video, keep it up!

It’s still hard to comprehend this album is 20 years old. What a timeless album.

Love Rammstein and they are still going strong with the OG Line-Up. Mutter has always been a favorite of mine.

My favorite Rammstein record, though it's a tough race between this one and "Reise, Reise" which is also a fun listen. Great "flow" to the record, and the compositional quality really went up straight off the jump with the opening track onward. Great, great record.

"Sonne" is a banger. I could listen to that track on repeat for days. Also, the video adds a whole new layer to it. Check it out if you get the chance.

Mutter was the first album I had as a child and it was what made me the music lover I am today (my mom gave it to me for Christmas so it was especially symbolic). I can tell you from personal experience that listening to ANY Rammstein album grows when you understand Till's lyrics, which flawlessly infuse the songs with dark poetry and a twisted sense of humor. It would be VERY interesting if you get to know the band following an alternative route and react to their excellent latest album "ZEIT" before the rest of the classics. By the way, I love your content, and your spontaneity. Saludos desde Chile!

First time when I listened to this album my mind was blown away. Literally every song on this one is awesome! But my favourite album from them is Rosenrot.

If you get the chance to see them live, don’t miss it 😊

So glad you have got into Rammstein. They are one of the best. I love them, even though I don't know much German. They actually motivated me to learn the language.

I don't think I have ever seen someone get introduced to and react to Rammstein in this way, but I love it! This is a quite a good album to start with, but you are sadly missing greatly out on not knowing the lyrics. Rammstein's singer and writer Till Lindemann is a great poet, and the songs often contain a story or a deep meaning, and often not hiding away from controversial topics... I really hope you continue the Rammstein journey, be it with more albums, music videos or live shows ( Rammstein are VERY known for their live shows lol). They do have their own keyboardist/synthesizer who adds all those effects, like the angelic voice in Sonne. These are the song topics in this album 1. Mein Herz Brennt: Children nightmares and "Der Sandmann". 2. Links 2 3 4: A song they wrote stating how their heart beats left, as a response to everyone calling them nazis. 3. Sonne: Written as a boxing entrance to an ukrainian boxer back in 2001 called Vitali Klitschko ( Now mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine) 4. Ich Will: Not a deep song, considered as simply a crowd interaction song, but deeper can be about wanting to be heard and seen, or misunderstood. 5. Feuer Frei: Not a deep song at all, just "Fire at will" about releasing anger 6. Mutter: About a person who never had a mother, as he was born in an incubator as an experiment. Also about the singer and guitarists struggle with their mothers in real life. 7. Spieluhr: About a child who wanted to be alone, so she faked her death, and got buried alive. 8. Zwitter: About a hermaphrodite, that tackles narcissism and bisexuality. 9. Rein Raus: well uh its about s*x. The title is simply "In Out"... The singer Till Lindemann really loves S*x... 10. Zwitter: A person dying of an overdose 11. Nebel: A song about a couple sharing their final moments together, with a walk on the beach and a final kiss, before the woman dies.

All these years later and I can still sing along with this album despite not having any idea what any of the lyrics mean

Rammstein was my first concert ever!! Not only is their music so heavy and so addicting, but their live shows just add another layer to who they are!

Still the only reaction video maker worth watching. The English pronunciations were so very entertaining 😂

It’s fascinating to watch someone who looks so young use such eloquent descriptors for so many of my adolescent favorites. Many older folks have bigger and better sets, but fall way short of actually dissecting the music. Kudos to Molly for not lacking in that regard.

Oh, my God, I really wanted this reaction haha, I love that band and I love each of its members, it is one of those bands that maintain a very solid alignment of members and that is why it is easy to feel a connection with them. As for music this album is simply one of its classics.

i think you're going to hit 15k very soon thanks to this reaction. My preliminary congrats!

rammstein é uma banda incrível

Hallelujah was the bonus track that was first introduced with this album. Another banger!

It's super nostalgic watching you go through albums I listened to over a decade ago. Makes me feel old though.

Rein, raus...basically means in, out...so its a song about sex. They often use more complex metaphors or innuendos for some sort of sexual intercourse (not shying away from very dark themes like abuse), but they are pretty straight forward in this one. Sonne translates to sun. This song was written for a boxer (initially called sieger, which means winner or victor) as his entrance music but Klitschko thought it was too hard, so they rearranged the lyrics a bit and made it about the sun. Thats also the reason why they use so much counting in the song. Ich will (I want) is basically a song where they criticise the view german media has on them, praising them one hand and giving them prizes but at the same time bad mouthing them for their controversial things/themes (becoming a bit clearer if you watch the music video). Its a song that, like you picked up, where they ask the crowd and the crowd answers (can you hear us, can you see us, can you feel us...where the crowd basically answers with yes we can). Mutter means mother, its about a child that was created artificially and yearns for a mother, but cant have one and hates its life and the imaginary mother that he hates for not being there (heavily inspired by Frankenstein). It was also a way to deal with the damaged/tough relationships both the singer (Till) and guitarist (Richard) have/had(?) with their mothers. Like someone suggested, maybe you should read translated lyrics before or after the song. Make sure to get one of the good ones though, there are some spotty one on the net, the good ones even provide some context and explain some double meanings in their lyrics.

Great album- will def be cool to see you go through the catalog

To this day Rammstein probably had my favorite live performance I’ve ever seen. Hell of a show.

Perfect reactions😂❤.Greetings from Poland!

Rammstein is dope!! Their self-titled album came out my senior year of high school, and I became completely obsessed with it! imo their sound is completely unique and captivating, awesome band!

Объективно лучший альбом в дискографии

You really know your stuff. This is a great album. Unique. 👍🏻 🤘🏻

Listen to their first 2 Albums, "Herzeleid" and "Sehnsucht". Way heavier and, in my opinion, even better.

Rammstein is the best band I've seen live. Very deliberate and precise with everything they do. Their music videos are awesome too and you really pick up on their humor.

really enjoyed this reaction/review Molly...for many, their hugely popular song Du Hast would've been the introduction to Ramstein, but Mutter was the album that put them on the map, it's all killer no filler...also you shouldn't concern yourself so much over the pronunciation of the song titles, yes, you butchered them, but not in a bad way, it's like hearing a non English speaker trying to pronounce English language, it's a little funny, but actually quite endearing

That was great! Loved this reaction to the entire Mutter album..💕💯🤘🏻🔥😍

Aww, you're soo kewt! Your expression and teefs, just too cuuuuute.

Finally this is the reaction I've been waiting for a long time, to one of my favorite bands. Given that all Rammstein's albums are, each in their own way, milestones of the "Industrial Metal" genre, I suggest you listen to their latest work "Zeit", released on April 29th, it's a masterpiece! Congratulations and keep it up in this way!"

This is really good! I didn't really expect them to be this good but this album was amazing! 🤘

Rammstein's best album. They took everything they learned from Herzeleid, and Sehnsucht, and elevated it to another level.

Rammstein live is an incredible experience, so huge and mind blowing. I miss them, I hope they tour the States again.

Great reaction! I can't wait for you to react to Herzeleid album. It's my favourite album.

This was my first album by Rammstein. I was blown away by their heavyness (lyricly, especially on the title track «Mutter») and the energetic music. As a German native speaker the full comprehension of the lyrics is definitely a highlight. But it is so interesting to see someone react to Rammstein without the layer of lyrics. I picture it like a gallery. Walking through and looking left and right and picking the stuff that resonates. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Molly.

Great reaction! This was my first Rammstein album back in the day. Glad you dug it. If you have a chance to watch a live version of "Feuer Frei," please do. The dragon masks at the finale are so cool. Easily the best live show I've ever been too.

Ah hell yeah, Molly coming in clutch with a dopamine hit. I would recommend reading the translated lyrics, i feel it really adds to the songs.

My favorite Rammstein album, and the one that introduced me to their music. I still remember the day I heard it for the first time at a friend's house. We didn't talk until it finished, just exchanging some stank faces now and then. I wish there were a way to listen to it for the first time again. Amazing stuff.

You need to watch their live shows , absolutely incredible

Please do video's on all the RAMMSTEIN albums!!! So much to discover

My favorite band ♥️♥️♥️

Yep that was my introduction to Rammstein back in 2001, amazing album and legendary music videos:)

As a german it's nice seeing you checking out one of our greatest contributions to metal 🤟🏻

That parallel you drew between SOAD and Rammstein was so on point!

I love your reactions and reviews. I expect your reaction to the last album of Rammstein (Zeit).

Love this band, love this album, it's a classic when I briefly lived in Germany it helped me learn German by reading the lyrics, I saw them in 2017(I think) live, amazing stage show! The flames felt like they were cooking my face, the folks at the front must of had no eyebrows after the show lol

Almost took German in high school just to understand the lyrics. Ultimately didn't, but can still sing with Till word for word. Whenever Rammstein comes to town, everyone is immediately fluent in German 🤘

Definitely my favorite album still! 🤘 I love you Molly 🌹 I hope you are doing good. 😉

A couple pronunciation tips. The "ei" sound is like "eye" as opposed to "ee". Think "Einstein". The "W" is more a "V" sound. And if I remember right, if a word ends with an "e", for example Sonne, it is said like "uh". And with the "S" being a "Z" sound in this case, the word Sonne would be more like Zo-n-nuh. Its been a while since I studied German, but I'm fairly certain this is correct. All that being said, I love these full album reactions. I have yet to hear a Rammstein song, let alone album, I didn't like. They are an amazing band, and definitely worth exploring further.

This is my favorite Rammstein Album. Greta job Molly

When I last saw the poll, which was right after you had posted it basically, it seemed like everyone was recommending you to check their first album, I guess mainly only because they wanted you to see their whole repertoire in the chronological order, so I was little bit surprised when I saw you have reacted to their third studio album Mutter instead, but I'm glad it's finally here. Thanks for the reaction Molly !! Some parts were actually funny - 6:15 Till: "Ich will, dass ihr mich versteht"/in English: "I want you to understand me" ... and Molly's face: nope! 🤣

Layer upon layer upon layers this is why we love rammstein.

Perfect timing. After my midterm exam, my professor from Germany played Rammstein over the speakers. Was a great time.

Great Work Molly!😘🤩🤗🤗🤗🤗

It's actually so much more fun hearing you pronounce the songtitles with mostly englisch delivery. :D

I got this album shortly after release when I was in middle school. I wore this album the fuck out, listening to it close to every day for the first year and once a week after for a few years. Still my favorite of theirs and one of my favorite albums of all time. My most memorable time with it was listening to it while laying on my trampoline in the cool air of the fall after my girlfriend and I broke up. Good times.

It's been a long time since I've listened to Rammstein, without a doubt I'll have to review their discography again, and a few days ago they released a new album.

I hope you get to check their newest release Zeit, it's my favorite at the moment

Very good review, Molly. First time I see anyone on RU-vid doing the full Rammstein´s album review. It´s cute to see how you pronounce every song name totally wrong :-), but your analysis of their music is spot on.

Great you understand their music and what makes them special. They play it live nearly exactly how it sounds on the records but they add certain things that i won't spoil. Rammstein breaks expectations every time 😁 They certainly have one of the best audio engineers you can get. Live and in the studio. To understand the lyrics is another level but Rammstein is very good for interpretations because they deliver really deep and twisted stuff. Please do their first LP next.

Would be cool to see you do a reaction for all of their albums!! I'd recommend googling the English translations to their songs. Google doesn't get it 100% correct but they can be very witty and just downright sick lyricists

First off fantastic react/review channel Molly Sanorn, I'd like to throw in a suggestion based upon what albums you've been listening to.. the British alternative rock band Placebo. they started in 1994 and continued releasing albums, their most recent was this year 'Never let me go' (2022) cheers!

So pumped you reacted to this beast of an album. Just going to put this out there Rammstein is an awesome band but when combined with their videos they are epic. You really need the visual aspect to fully appreciate them you seriously need to react to watching sonne and mein hertz Brentz music videos it will completely change your reaction and feeling towards them

You should definitely check up English lyrics for Rammstein. The lead singer is also a poet, so you might find some clever social commentary every now and then. Also, you'd be surprised how similar some German and English words might be.

I recommend watching some of these songs live in your spare time, they’re awesome live.

My first intro to Rammstein was their album "Live Aus Berlin" and holy molly you want ear worm after ear worm you must check out. I used to speak German which is what drew me but you don't need to understand because the sound they make is visceral, almost instinctual. Great review once again hope you do more Rammstein, been waiting for their concert that was cancelled the first year of covid, cancelled again last year and now 2022 Sept it happens (I hope).

My favorite band

What I remember most when first hearing this record was feeling like I finally had evidence they were influenced by a Yugoslavian (not sure what territory they are from but Yugoslavia was a country when I was introduced to them) band, Laibach. The internet still wasn't what it is now so really didn't have a clear answer to what I had been wondering since hearing their earlier records. The opening track, 'Links 2 3 4', and 'Feuer Frei' felt very much in line with Laibach who I had been enjoying at that point since the late 80's. In the late 80's the owner of the record store I shopped at knew I am a Queen fan and introduced me to this song called 'Geburt Einer Nation' which musically was a cover of 'One Vision'. Lyrically though I could tell it wasn't a simple translation into a foreign tongue. This happens often, for those who don't know, for example the 80's classic from Nina, '99 Luftballoons'. Laibach has similar bass vocalist at the forefront but take a much more avant-garde approach to their industrial sound rather than metal. They also parody European military iconography in their image along with military, nationalist, and totalitarian themes lyrically which turns off many. I can see anyone discovering them today not seeing the irony and joke; especially in our current political times compared to the 80's when they emerged trying to show that totalitarian ideas were not gone. Sadly they have been proven right. Sorry to throw in politics but unfortunately hard to ignore when discussing them or even Rammstein where especially Mutter had some questioning the bands politics.

I watch a fair bit of react content and your reactions are pretty unique I feel, I've been watching your videos here and there for a while now and it always feels like I'm watching a radio broadcast. There's also something very open about your style, you come across as very unassuming. I love how you can listen to the gnarliest lyrically super fucked up stuff and just be like "I really love how the guitar builds with the energy of the lyrics". This reaction in particular is pretty funny to me, I live in the Netherlands which means German is a very recognizeable language for me. Despite the fact that you clearly have 0 clue what's going on with the lyrics you still pick up on some cool stuff instrumentally, and well, there's just something comedic about someone with a very American accent pronouncing the song titles and the band's name. It reminds me of Brad Pitt in Inglorious Bastards when he greets people in Italian. I'm not entirely sure why I felt the need to write all that out but what I'm trying to say is I think you got something pretty unique going on here and I think that's great. Keep it up!

Regardless of the language, the music is outstanding and Til is such a great vocalist

Mutter is my favorite Rammstein album. Its rare when I actually like all the songs on one album.. My favorite song is Rein Raus. Then Links 2 3 4, Sonne, Spieluhr, Zwitter and then the rest of the songs...all of them are awesome!! 😍😍🤘🏻🤘🏻💯💯🔥🔥💕💕

Nothing short of the band’s magnum opus. And a significant turning point in the band’s sound.

geez as a german, its really cute to hear the pronouncments of these german words :D I love it (:

Rammstein é uma banda que não sou tão fã, mas esse álbum é excelente, e eu gosto de mais dois álbuns deles

Hey Molly ! As a half german old guy, I LMAO at your butchering of the language (in a good way) but loved your reactions, as usual. I still cry every time I listen to Mutter (Mother) since my mom passed away though. My bet is you will be asked to react to the first 3 albums (a Holy Trilogy to some of us)

Talking about arena, there is a life album "Life at the arena of Nimes". The old roman arena in south of France.

This album is brilliant. The lyrics are insanely good, and have so many layers. And I agree with @Marvin Bogatsch ... and hey, my favorite track is Mutter.

You listened and reviwed the best Rammstein album ever produced :) This album was a big jump in Rammstein's career since they brought their music to another level. In addition, they were internationally recognized as a good-quality metal band. Hopefully you can check Mutter lyrics and give us your thoughts about them. Just keep in mind Till writes creepy, crazy, true and amazing lyrics :)

Also the first song I ever heard by Rammstein was Sonne (when I was 14 but still my favorite track), first saw and heard Sonne on Kerrang (TV channel) the music video blew me away, it still stands out today, you should definitely check it out, infact you should do reactions to some of the well known music videos from these albums, would be a nice extra to wrap up an album :)

yeah! RAMMSTEIN! I have been listening them for 20 years non-stop. I love how you pronounce the titles, Im smiling a lot :D 13:34 "We got this great guitar again" Oh yes we do! Thats Industrial Metal ;)

to really appreciate these guys i suggest to watch live videos(paris) and official videos. Also to look up translated lyrics.

YES, YES, YES! one of the quintessential INDUSTRIAL masterpieces ever, and Molly REACTS to it. WOO! also, when you get around to it, listen to Just one Fix by Ministry ( you'll notice the RIFF, and it's just one fix that used that riff and all other INDUSTRIAL used it since, it's the FOUNDATION riff)

Awesome! Rammstein is such a amazing and unique band, it's very impressive to me that the main german band/artist known out there globally plays METAL, and not pop/trap/rap or any other mainstream crap hehe. I suggest you checking Sehnsucht next, released before Mutter. It has a more raw and heavy sound.

I was kept looking to see if you did this album, I'm glad you did, not the album I would have picked. He does have some English tracks if interested on his solo album and a few through Rammstein. It's pronounced Ram Stein too 😂. You can pick up on some if you listen closer to the diction. Sonne the sun, mutter mother, my heart burns.

Your pronunciation made me chuckle a bit Molly 😅😅 Also, I've been waiting for this review!

Great album!

You read my mind, I was going to recommend you Rammstein. Sonne (Sun) It was to be a boxer's song, that's why the count to ten and saya Hier Komm Die Sonne (Here comes the sun, his punch) in the video the band are the 7 dwarfs and Snow White a evil drug addict. Spieluhr It's about a kid who fakes his own death and is buried and rescued next to a musical box.

Mutter was the very 1st album my mom bought for me that was "my own" taste in music, and not one she handed down basically. Even listening to it now, *literally* _2 DECADES_ later it's absolutely excellent

Sonne is one of my favourite tracks of all time

Nice! You should do “Reise,reise” next

Love this band and album, although their album Sehnsucht is probably my favorite. They are amazing to see live too.

All Rammstein albums are good i been jamming to them since i first heard couple their songs off their first album from a soundtrack from the movie Lost Highway 😎love Rammstein

It's interesting to listen to such a breakdown in the Enigma album MCMXC a.D.

You should pick up their latest album, it was released a couple of days ago and it sounds great, great tracks. Zeit, Angst, Schwarz ...

Cant wait till you react to Bent Knee, Opeth and Porcupine Tree.

Hey You should try listening to Soen, it's a really good prog-metal band with heavy influences from Tool and Opeth, they got a unique sound but at the sale time You can hear the influences, you'll love them!!
